Student Testimonials
“I’m by no means an artist. I’m a runner, cyclist, snowboarder… Never thought I would enjoy sitting down and making these little paintings. Yet I did, a lot! Still a lot of room for improvement off course. But I love the process. ”
“I enjoyed this workshop so much! I loved everything about it, from the provided line drawings, to the very ‘doable’ pace, and to the easy to follow instruction!”
“I’ve tried several online tutorials for watercolor painting and day one with you was already the best! Thank you for teaching and encouraging us all to leave our comfort zones and try something new!”
“This course, and your gentle guidance, really gave me the confidence to create in a smaller palette and to be looser with my interpretation of what I’m seeing to get a beautiful snapshot of my surroundings. It really was the boost of skills and the gentle encouragement I needed to push me past the roadblocks I had created for myself. Thank you for creating such a great course! It has been so very fun!”
