COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
I recently took part in a Sketching morning with Annette and 3 other ladies. I am a beginner which didn’t matter amongst the more experienced. Advice and tips were given throughout the session which was very relaxing and fun. I’d recommend this to everyone. thank you Annette I’ll see you in Puisserguier.

I attended a Paris weekend earlier this year with Annette Morris Art. It was fantastic, we really explored Paris and captured lots of memories in our sketching. Highly recommended!
Patricia - October 2022
The most patient, encouraging and talented teacher there is. A micro grain of creativity will be rooted out by Annette and hey presto…. a new world of art and fun.

Annette is an ideal teacher for both beginners, and experienced sketchers and water-colourists. She’s patient, encouraging and suggests new techniques to try. She helps you discover your own style which is so refreshing ! I learnt so much and had so much fun. Thank you Annette for a brilliant sketching holiday and for sharing your love of Languedoc with us. I will be back next year all the way from Sydney Australia.

This was a great workshop by one of my favourite watercolour artists. The pace was fast (although I do appreciate the time restraints) and I was able to follow along for most of it and then complete any finishing touches afterwards. The PDF was a welcome addition as a step by step guide too.
Etchr Mini-Workshop - November 2021
My wife Heather started zoom sketching classes with Annette Morris of Sketch Languedoc during the lockdowns in the UK. She was thrilled with how quickly Annette’s teaching yielded results. However, nothing is as much fun as being outside in the fresh air in a beautiful Covid safe setting. If you are in the area, don’t miss her brilliant workshops or sign up for her Zoom classes online.

Nous avons passé un week-end formidable avec Annette à Bizes Minervois les 17 et 18 octobre : Annette nous a guidées avec fermeté et une grande gentillesse pour des exercices très variés et nous a fait découvrir des techniques nouvelles. merci beaucoup Annettte et à la prochaine fois !
Françoise G. - November 2020
If you look for a day that can make you completely happy, then join a sketching class with Annette Morris – it was so much fun, also lovely relaxing, surrounded by nice people, it was just great! It was like playing golf, only much better! Thank you so much and hopefully I can join another class soon again!
Marlin C.A. - Caunes-Minervois, June 2019
I greatly enjoyed the relaxed workshop in Carcassonne with Annette this morning. I learned a lot and I’m re-inspired to do some sketching. Thank you!
Frances M. - January 2020
Thanks so much for yesterday, it was very enlightening, and fun.
The tips are great and I’ll refer to them as I hopefully continue my sketching. I look forward to doing another session with you.
Vanessa C. - July 2019
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful morning. It was so enjoyable and therapeutic!
Pam H. - August 2018
Thank you very much for the class on Tuesday. We were very impressed with the amount of things we were able to learn from you in such a short time.
Margaret S. - February 2019
It was fantastic, I love her style. I was able to follow along (barely), and got a reasonable sketch at the end.
Etchr Student - November 2021
Great sketching workshop in Capestang – learned some interesting techniques for future projects. Thank you, Annette! 😃
Patricia - October 2021
Just enjoyed an energetic weekend in Paris sketching with Annette Morris Art . We covered many of the best known landmarks, and managed very brief, longer, and full-length sketching sessions. It was wonderful to concentrate on drawing, without having to think about route-finding, where to eat, and locations for coffee and recuperation, because Annette had that all planned. it was fun to work with like-minded people, and as usual, we all looked at the same thing but saw something completely different. I have ended up with some memorable sketches in themselves, some sketch material to develop, and enough photographs to take me through the winter! I genuinely recommend any session Annette runs as manager: I look forward to another one myself. Brian Stone.
Brian S. - May 2023
Thank you again for making my holiday so interesting.

So many special memories and friendships have been made on this trip 🥰 - the beautiful beret brigade are sketching superstars 🤩🩷✍️🇫🇷

On Sunday we made our way to Montmartre for a quiet sketch over breakfast watching the Place du Tertre come to life 😍 Working our way down from Sacre Coeur to Moulin Rouge the weather started to brighten before a grand finale sketch at the opera! Such a wonderful couple of days and a joy spending time with such a group of inspiring ladies 🩷
We’ll treat ourselves to a special final petit déjeuner tomorrow 😉

Saturday iin Paris! 🥰 After coffee and croissants we headed west towards the Eiffel Tower - via the Magasin Sennelier and the Hotel des Invalides. The weather was not quite so kind, but that did not dampen our sketching spirits!
After a beautiful lunch, we made our way back to the river via the Champs Elysées and Place de la Concorde.
A fun and lively evening in the Latin Quarter completed a great day of filling sketchbook pages and new friendships. 😊
Tomorrow…. Montmartre! ❤️

On our first afternoon in Paris we were sketching around the river Seine and stunning Notre Dame. We had just enough time to also capture two iconic shopfronts before getting to know each other over dinner at a local bistro. Much fun was had at the table as we prepared our sketchbooks for the weekend!
