REVIEWS: May 2023 Charlotte hosted two outdoor spring Sakura painting tours to Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan. Here’s what the guests had to say…
Dana said “Thanks so much Charlotte Hird for sharing this wonderful part of the world with us. What an adventure it’s been. So many beautiful places to visit and paint. Extraordinarily delicious and strange things to eat and enjoy. Such a relaxing, interesting, fun holiday! Wonderful weather too. Lifetime memories to treasure….“
Maureen said “The week I spent with Charlotte in Otaru, Hokkaido, was exceptional in every way. Charlotte and Dean’s house provided all the comforts of home in a cosy atmosphere. It was a pleasure to come back to relax after a full day’s adventure of painting and sketching very different landscapes. Each day was filled with colour and surprises, from the buildings, flowers, trees, food or shopping. A never to be forgotten unique experience. Definitely “an up there”, painting holiday.
Jenny says “Extraordinary : Thankyou Charlotte Hird! Best week to experience and enjoy Otaru and surroundings : Art, cuisine & cultural highlights! Greatest holiday: Scenery, escapism, painting and experiencing : watercolour tutorials and painting opportunities and Japan cuisine & cultural moments! Thanks #charlottehird“
