Peter John Reid

"Years ago I was fortunate enough to take watercolor classes taught by Louise Ryan. But after the week this past August with Peter Reid, I feel that I have been educated in so many facets of painting, so Peter is the best instructor that I have ever had. I hope that I will continue to have other opportunities to study under him."

"Peter is a very talented painter and instructor. When you take yourself too seriously his quick wit and sense of humour relaxes you. He instinctually seems to know when you're elated or frustrated by your own work and is generous with his help and kind in his comments. To be invited to be at class an hour early to watch him paint was a joy. He's very encouraging and I came away with a wealth of new information, colour mixing skills, and techniques. I'm a better painter for taking his class. One needs time to absorb all that he has taught, but in my own studio, it is right there! The class was a joy and a privilege to be a part of. Amazingly, he brings his students all together and I'm sure we left, every one of us, better for the experience of painting under his instruction."

"I would take more courses in acrylic painting with Peter Reid. He's very knowledgeable (especially about colour) and conveys information well."

"We ALL thought that Peter was Fabulous!"

"Great instructor, very entertaining as well as skilled."Peter is very dedicated to the teaching of his craft. He has much experience which he gently shares with beginning painters. His day is a great balance of lesson and practise painting.

The course was very well planned and executed. Mr. Reid is an excellent instructor. His patience, encouragement and humour made it all the more enjoyable.

Peter is an exceptional instructor, his book providing essential details for the course .... he rates 5 * in my opinion! 

Keep number of students small. I thought seven was about right. Tell course registrants early that there will be a list of materials to get for the course

The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed the fact that there was a book which he followed. I enjoyed it so much I changed my plans so I could attend the second course!!

Peter Reid was excellent. I feel very fortunate to have taken my first art class with someone so knowledgeable. It was a great experience and a lot of fun!

Absolutely fun time , very productive and exhausting

Peter 's knowledge of acrylics is extensive. The format he used to teach, demonstrate, have us work on colours then coaching us was well divided. I also appreciated his sense of humour!

I enjoy Peter Reid's style of teaching, particularly the accompanying book. I have learned a lot about technique that I can apply to any medium.
