Name

I am always amazed by how Dominique is able to bring out each student's individual style and approach to painting. I have learnt so much about colour, composition and art history in Dom's classes, but most importantly, I have gained so much confidence in my own artistic practice.

Having done Atelier by Dominique Sutton in France this year I would totally recommend any future events she may organise. Dominique had carefully preplanned the beautiful setting with just the right amount of art and adventure. She was extremely generous in every way and made sure we had enough time for her valuable art tuition. Overall it was a great experience and lots of fun with like minded people."

I would like to say, Dom has been able to awaken a long hidden desire to be artful in the most nurturing, encouraging, supportive way. Keeping your own individuality. It has been an exciting journey for me in this process of discovery. Satellite Island was a wonderful experience in the immersion of southern colours, rugged chilly coastlines, a feeling of isolation gives you a freedom of expression artfully. I would certainly recommend this workshop with Dominique at the wheel.
