Artbreaks at Sampsons Farm

Professional artist, Sarah Bell teaches one day watercolour painting for beginners classes, and short break art holidays in a studio housed in a converted barn at her home: Sampsons Farm Hotel and Restaurant by the meadows of the River Teign. Ducks and chickens scratch around the orchard; there are thatched cottages in the hamlet, Sarah Bell - signature graphic and the river is just down the lane. Dairy cows walk past the gates twice a day to go to the neighbouring farmer's milking parlour: it's pretty relaxed down here!

Sarah Bell is a practising artist and illustrator, and a qualified art tutor with many years experience. Her fresh, contemporary watercolours can be found in private collections in Europe and the US, and her painting and workshops have been featured on ITV's Arts and Crafts, and Country Lives series. The TV producer enjoyed filming so much that she booked for a workshop herself! A bright and enthusiastic tutor, Sarah believes that with the right tuition anyone can be taught to paint and draw.

Workshops take place in the Studio set within the courtyard of Sampsons Farm Hotel and Restaurant, a charming medieval thatched former farmhouse in the tiny hamlet of Preston, near Newton Abbot. Chickens and ducks scratch around in the paddock, and the River Teign winds lazily through the meadows just down the lane. A haven of tranquillity, yet less than fifteen minutes drive from both Exeter and Torquay. Sarah’s vibrant, contemporary watercolours hang in all the public and private rooms here.
