"Well, I just tried another provider and it just reafirms my belief - JoeDaisy is the best. This other tutor (on a different course)
rubbed my drawing out - put in his own and then repainted it
- after I had painted it!! What was that all about? I thought it
should be about me and not him!! So yes, you are the best
- with YOU it is about US and you never touch our paintings!!
Thanks reaffirmation made - I'll be back next year! Valerie. |

"I just want to take this opportunity to
say a huge thank you for a wonderful
week. What a journey, both
artisitically and personally! You were
so good at nurturing us in an
un-judgemental way. Brilliant and
inspiring, hospitable and generous – I
can’t stop singing your praises". Barbara |

We never ask for comments but they arrive anyway. So thank you students for being such a great bunch!!
Some students don't want their photos on the web site - which is why we have comments but no images .
WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
'This is Brilliant. I don't know how you do it. Such energy,
such enthusiam, such exceptional teaching & great products.
As I think I told you - I've spent 3 years at art school and never
learnt any of what I learnt with you. I think I said during the weekend
'this is brilliant' at least 321 times! ' Nancy - |

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 |

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!´ |
PERFECT!! Great studio, great places to paint, Great service, Great materials, Great hotel and I learnt to paint properly! Quite amazing!! Jane |
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!! |
Derek created some wonderful paintings He said:
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 Monda 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 |
This is to say thank you once again for the fantastic experience of the last few days. The course was exactly what I needed. I am so energised, inspired, excited and passionate again about my painting and you have helped me achieve all of that alongside giving me many new technical skills. Above all I feel I have come away with a new way of seeing - AND HOW FANTASTIC IS THAT - in just a few days. I hope I will be back very soon for some more of the magic that seems to pervade your studio. Thanks to Alex too for making us feel so welcome and 'at home'. Take care and much love - Maggie Somerset |
Kathleen came from Ireland - as a single traveller and said:
Many thanks to you Alex and Ruth for a wonderful week. It was enjoyable and educational all at the same time, the best of both worlds.
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!!
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.
Once again many thanks I will recommend you to my other friends and I will be back!!
Take care and hope you have a really good season as you deserve it!! Love Christine

'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' Jane |
What a wonderful way to spend a week or so. Great environment, wonderful company, great teaching, delightful apartment, I will remember my time with you for a long time to come. Wendy

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!' |
This lady came out as a single traveller and said: 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 |
'Caroline really is different. I've been on many courses and they 'part teach you' almost as if they want your money to learn more.
Caroline is different, she teaches you everything you REALLY need to know, so you go away confident and pretty excited. Becuase it is so good, you want to come back anyway. This really is pretty exciting and different teaching - you get your money's worth and 100% more. and I never write thank yous! Brenda

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. Loved the facilities and all those paints!! Great place and thank you for such a lovely time. Sam |
| Yes, loved it. I wanted to write and say thank you again, it's so good to have such quality service, generosity and wonderful teaching. BEWARE!! I will be back. Mandy |
