Bettina Schroeder is a practising artist whose work is regularly exhibited throughout Europe including Bonn and Berlin, London, Zurich and in the USA. She organised her first painting holiday in Wales in 1987. Such was its success that she carried on teaching on painting holiday locations ever since, and steadily broadened the choice of destinations for her courses. “Bettina is an exemplary teacher”, said Nicholas Shakespeare in The Telegraph Magazine.
After studying at the Free University of Berlin, German born and educated Bettina moved to London in the 1980s, where she later studied sculpture at the Camden Institute. Her work ranges from watercolour to oil painting, sculpture and photography. When not travelling, Bettina works from her London studio in Shoreditch, painting a wide range of subjects, preparing exhibitions and completing commissions. Her love affair with watercolour began when she came to the UK, the ‘motherland’ of that medium. “Although I like working in different ways depending on the circumstances, I have very strong feelings for painting in watercolour. It gives me the freedom to be spontaneous and to work easily outdoors. I want to pass on this passion when I am teaching” Here are a few highlights from Bettina’s Curriculum Vitae:

"I do not know any other painting tutor who puts so much into teaching with lots of patience and encouragement and such spontaneous and lively, colourful paintings to inspire us." "Thank you very much, Bettina, for a wonderful painting holiday, being a fantastic teacher and lovely host. I had a great time." "Thank you once again for the excellent tuition." "Fantastic week and we look forward to meeting you again next year!" "You are probably the most enthusiastic and involved teacher we have had over 26 painting holidays."
