TESTIMONIALS FOR COURSES

"I attended a 1:1 session with Chris and had a great time. As a complete novice about all things acrylic pouring, Chris’s teaching was informative and fun. I was infected by her enthusiasm and passion for her art (and so jealous of her skill!). With her gentle encouragement I learned a lot, and really enjoyed her company. One week on and I’m still buzzing from the experience. Thanks Chris - looking forward to the next one!"

"I had the pleasure of having a 1:1 acrylic pouring course with Chris recently. Chris tailored the day to my ability, experience and knowledge. She is patient, informative and creative. I produced some examples of processes which I was very proud of. The whole experience was very relaxing and mindful, where some art experiences can be intense and can I say stressful while you are striving to get things exactly as you want them, this was an absolute dream. I have started to get resources together so that I can experiment at home before booking a 1:1 landscape day with Chris. I would whole heartedly recommend this to everyone, whether you are experienced or not, the peace of mind experienced was restorative. "

"I have just completed my 2nd acrylic landscape/seascape paint pouring course with Chris and throughly enjoyed myself. Not only have I learned loads, mixed my own colours, used different techniques/tools to build up land/sea after the pour, but have also come away with 2 paintings that I am really happy with. What a great afternoon!"

"I recently attended an abstract landscape workshop with Chris Schneider at her studio in Buxted. This being the third workshop that I have completed with Chris. 
This was by far the best and the end result for me was great. Chris presented a workshop that was informative, challenging and most of all fun. I can without hesitation recommend this workshop. For me art is creating a painting that is fun to do and when I look at it if it makes me smile then that is great. The painting I completed with Chris made me smile so job done!"

"Mum and I recently did the days landscape painting course with Chris. We really enjoyed the day and Chris was really patient with us and made sure we were comfortable with what we’re doing before going onto the next stage. We came away with great paintings and had a really enjoyable day. Would highly recommend! "

"I can't thank you enough for the fantastic day we had with you.  It was so interesting to learn how to plan out the painting as I had no idea how helpful this would be to the process.  I think the planning part of the day's instruction was the most helpful to me and I've taken some photos of land/seascapes that I would love to do, to try to reconstruct them, so watch this space!  I now know the best way to layer the flipcups for maximum effect, but obviously there's going to be lots of practicing.  
A few months ago I had a blip with my paintings and got quite fed up with it all, but after my day with you I am ready to get cracking. Once again, thank you so much Chris. "

"I really enjoyed the acrylic pouring landscape workshop I did with you. I learned a lot and can't wait to put it into practice. It was really exciting to see the finished paintings and I look forward to you sending them when they are dry. Thank you so much for your help."

Just wanted to say, Thank you so much for stressing the importance of measuring the PM and water.  I bought flat scales and what a difference in my canvasses! Thanks again"

"I'd like to give a shout out to Chris SchneiderLast week, I spent two day with Chris Schneider. I thought I was in acrylic pouring heaven. During her landscape course, Chris covered the following:
• The theory behind these paintings
• The consistency needed for your paints
• Colour theory
• How to layer your cups
• How to flip and drag your cups
• Composition
She helped me understand where I was going wrong with my pours. We had lots of fun and I came away with a better of how to deconstruct a photo and turn it into a successful pour.  I am an amateur photographer so this was invaluable for me."
