We have a couple of places left on Sue Ford‘s delightful painting course in July: in the Uccello bedroom and The Lippi Suite. (We’ll let the suite out for a single occupant, but it is ideal for a couple, so why not bring your partner, whether or not he or she wants to participate in the painting course. We have lots of fun activities for partners, or they may simply want to relax in the delightful surroundings of the Watermill.)

Sue Ford loves creating pictures in any medium – and she loves passing on what she’s learned to other people to help them release their creativity. She will with us from 13-20 July 2019 and will teach in watercolours, pastels, collage and mixed media plus acrylic. That’s one of her colourful, vibrant collages above. And here’s a pastel of Monterosso, one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre, an excursion venue during your Watermill week.
Relaxed, friendly, patient
As well as a multitalented, multimedia artist Sue is a very keen teacher. One of our previous guests on a previous course at the Watermill said: “Sue has a relaxed, friendly and very patient approach to tuition and encouraged us all to achieve as much as possible at our own level. She gave demo’s and one to one tuition when required. There was a wide choice of subject matter for sketching and painting both at the Watermill itself and on our excursions. All in all a most enjoyable week.”
Sue says: “Each student will be guided carefully throughout the day, from initial demonstration to getting started, followed by patient, professional tuition. I aim to help my students to create paintings which will give them the confidence in their abilities and help them to develop their own artistic vision.”
And the Watermill setting? One of our guests said: “I had a wonderful time. Everything was superb – the accommodation, the trips out and the food! Utterly wonderful. It was an experience that I will treasure.”
