Previous guests have said, they learnt more from Dermot’s courses in a few days than from years attending other classes.Â
Colleen McGurgan from Tyrone said, The painting course was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. It was very well organised and the pace of learning was really appropriate. I really liked the practical artwork broken up into technical tutorials and painting hacks. Dermot, your story telling really complimented the activities.
Sue Cole said, In a word ‘BRILLIANT’. Learnt so much about the techniques of watercolour. Feel I now have the specialist knowledge to begin exploring working in watercolour.

Reviews & feedback from Dermot's Guests
Read what others have to say about Dermots in-person and online painting courses.
Incredibly valuable for giving a beginner great instruction and confidence. Learnt so many techniques and valuable info about mixing and composition. Fully intend to do a follow-on course. I would recommend the course to anyone.
Hilary Spalton
My very first art lesson and I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt such a lot. All I need now is practise, practice, practice And probably another course in a month or so. Well done Dermot and Thank you for your patience.

The 3 day course on watercolours was very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. The course was very well organised and the pace of learning was really appropriate. I really liked the practical art work broken up into technical tutorials and painting hacks. Dermot, your story telling really complimented the activities.
