It far outweighed any expectations I had . The emails clearly stated what was required , and although I was nervous , Sabari quickly put my nerves at ease . Everything was well thought out, including a plan b because of the weather . I really enjoyed being in a small group , the session was friendly and informal , we were encouraged to go at our own pace , with Sabari making suggestions that helped boost my confidence. I had the most wonderful experience and I am really looking forward to booking on for my next session. Sabari is an absolute gem.

Title or Location: Staithes North Yorkshire
We enjoy visiting the countryside, be it coastal or inland and avoid towns and cities. Fortunately, we are retired and have the time to roam with our caravan. I take lots of photos and then paint any that inspire me. Staithes is such a pretty place and the day we were there was warm and sunny. I really enjoy the feeling I have when putting paint to paper.
