Myra said: Some really great learning points about tonal range and using this to create depth. Would have liked more time for detailed instruction and demonstration. We had to ask the teacher to demonstrate the techniques in the second class. It may not have happened otherwise
-
Jacqui said: Thoroughly enjoyed learning how to paint botanicals with water colour. It is a harder medium to work with than anticipated, but the teacher was very skilled and paced the class well.
