"As an amateur painter who has started only in my senior age mostly in watercolour and had very few opportunities to do plein air paintings, the highly accomplished artist Tom Hughes was a great teacher and inspiration for me to develop my plein air oil painting skills. He was serious in trying to improve our painting abilities but made sure that we were there to enjoy ourselves. I enjoyed very much the company of Kate, Tom and the other painters. We all had a great time." -- Ed H., Spring 2018 participant
"The best part about the trip was... every part. When we weren't painting the gorgeous landscapes and/or beautiful architecture, we were either exploring the grounds of the chateau, eating delicious food or relaxing and chatting with the other participants and support staff. Definitely the most enjoyable solo-vacation I've ever taken. I look forward to participating in another trip with Plein Air Holidays!" -- Karl K., Spring 2018 participant
