REVIEW


"Last day of an absolutely enjoyable week of Amber Emm  Painting trip in Wanaka. Amber has been so amazing and helpful, sharing her knowledge and painting skills with me and five other ladies.

Our luxury accomodation for the week  at Maple Lodge in Wanaka has been a peaceful perfect retreat at  the end of each day En Plien Air painting (painting outdoors) in the most stunning Otago locations around Wanaka, Glendue Bay, The Gold Miners Village, Cadrona Hotel, stunning Rippon Winery, Arrowtown and the gorgeous Lavender Farm...Amber and Tony looked after us like family, and Amber's teaching have been so benefical.


A very enjoyable week, thank you so much Amber and Tony for a fabulous week."
