			"As one of the first people to experience a painting holiday at JoeDaisy Spain may I congratulate you on achieving almost the impossible.The studio is cool and fully equiped. The location is memorable and very Spanish. The tuition, as ever, is second to none. The whole experience was life changing. I hope to return again and agin and again". Margaret September 2008	'What I loved about it was that YOU inspired me to paint. I've been on painting holidays before and felt well that was OK but you inspired me about my painting and you didn't paint and leave us - which has been my experience before. This was a perfect balance of GOOD painting and a great holiday. Well done. Never enjoyed anything more" Sarah	"I know I said it many times and it is worth repeating . you all made my stay a most enjoyable experience for me and for that I send you my heart of thanks. To spend 25 years at home and then head off on my own was a great achievment for me and to spend  it with wonderful kind people like yourselves made it so much easier.I do hope to see you all again".

			Well Gaye and I arrived back safely in the UK clutching our masterpieces!!   My husband thought I had been given the canvases  by a professional until Gaye explained that I had actually done all the work myself (with of course fantastic help and guidance from you Alex). He is now busy hanging them and looking at me strangely wondering where his wife is!!   I have to say I have never enjoyed anything quite as much so unexpectedly as I only really came to support Gaye (now she's got to come again to support me in my new found desire to create and learn.) in her desire to rekindle her art skills.   Thank you both so much, you could not do enough to make our stay more enjoyable and relaxed (probably the copious amounts of wine!!) with no pressure and great scenery. Also thanks to Simon for running us back to the airport (just for your info the easy jet check in is  still on the top level where Simon dropped us and to the right of the main door so couldn't be easier) we where in the right place at the right time!!  fantastic.   Once again many thanks I will recommend you to my other friends and I will be back!!(sorry Alex) Take care and hope you have a really good season as you deserve it!! Love Christine	Thank you so much for a fantastic week . It was so much more than a painting holiday , it was  a wonderful experience with such lovely caring company. Many many thanks for everything Caroline . I can't wait to see you all again . I miss you all very much - Jan May 2009 Comments after a morning painting in oils in Juanar: Simon said: ´Magical, relaxing and just perfect for a painting holiday. I can´t recommend this enough´ Wendy said: ´Íf there is a heaven, this is the place. Perfect!´ "You really are an excellent teacher...allowing each member in the group to develop individual style,  sharing your time equally between all of us ( no favourites, very important!) In fact, you were really like some kind of super painting angel flitting between us all  offering advice and making suggestions, lifting flagging spirits as we all wrestled with this desire to create ! Thank you so much !" Rose	Great place to paint, Great service, Great materials, Great hotel and I learnt to paint properly! Quite amazing!! Jane Had a great time. Loved Monda, loved the apartment, loved the people and I've even learn a bit of Spanish. Thanks Alex and Ruth. Mark. I will be back for a week, the Painting Day whetted my apetite.

Janet said ' Generous, exceptional, professional, great service and what an outstanding place - I'd never used such professional paints or learnt so much with humour, friendliness and relaxation. Thanks I've booked again for 2009!'
			Many thanks for making me so welcome on my week and for your generosity and hospitality. I thorougly enjoyed the week and the painting. I was impressed with the studio which I much enjoyed. Thanks again Alex for all the driving and taking me round for sketching which was fun. I also appreciated the arrangements made for the Mundalutz which was a great little place to stay. With best wishes. Derek	Thank you, thank you. It took me a long time to pluck up the courage to book. I was worried that away from home and no way back! I would be homesick or worried or not enjoy it! I couldn't have been more wrong - what a great way to spend a week in your company and hospitality. A whole week of worrying about no-one but myself and knowing that you were taking care of me and that nothing was too much trouble. I want to thank you and thank you for a wonderful time in such caring company. I will be back and have recommended it to everyone. Barbra.	A REVIEW FROM TRIP ADVISOR - CLICK This is an art studio in a lovely spanish village close to Marbella that runs various courses over weeks/weekends/days. I went on one of the acrylic courses and had a super fun time! I learnt so much about colour, composition and technique - but some of the best things were the relaxed atmosphere in the airy studio, the positive encouragement by the artists teaching to develop your own style and 'bring out the artist in you!', the great locations around Monda that we painted and just all round opportunity to indulge in painting. I would recommend this to any body - whether you can already paint/draw or not - it's just such a relaxing fun time. I loved it and will definitely be going back!!
