I really LOVE the Shorter 30 min Class It's perfect for getting a Small Bit of New Information to Practice later and not be "Over" "Whelmed" and forget a step and then Quit

This short class gave an overview of trying out your paints in different ways. I liked the 30 minute format, and it gave me ideas for finding out how colours react.

I liked the format, the brevity and the professionalism you brought to the class. Plus it was something we can do at any time with our a lot of planning. Keep going... debra

Live Class Review

Though a short class, was so much fun and one that I can continue working on without an instructor present, if I choose. It was a lot of fun and good practice for color mixing, brush control, and color/water ratio.
