Penny teaches a limited number of painting courses each year at the Moulin de la Materette in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

These courses, which cater for all levels and abilities, have been successfully running for three years. They are structured to include basic techniques through demonstrations, observational painting and inspiring projects. Groups are limited to six to give maximum of individual attention and teaching is confined to four hours a day, leaving the rest of your time free to continue working, relax or explore to the region.
