Student Testimonials

Thanks for your inspiration. We are a family of educators and I know a good teacher when I see one. Hope I get to work with you again someday.

So pleased with all your hard work in helping us improve our painting and ability to "see" what is before us. Your warm, friendly nature and enthusiasm in sharing your skill and knowledge, spending time with each and every one, makes you an excellent teacher. We would love to have you back!

Thanks for being so gracious with your time! You were devoted to us all! It really was an amazing experience for me.

I said before that I learned more in 4 months from my landscape instructor than I did in 1.5 years with the portrait/still life person I’d been going to previously. And I think doing this full time for a week with your hands on attention and support doubled what I’ve learned in the past 4 months but in just 5 days. I’m so glad I forced myself to take the leap and I’ll definitely come back another year. I spent time on the flight back writing down all the tidbits I learned from you and the experience while it was still fresh so I can go back and revisit them as needed!

Very much enjoyed your workshop. You excelled at making the rounds to the class with helpful corrections to the paintings in progress.

Thanks so much for this workshop. It was really great, I learned quite a lot and look forward to taking another the next time you are in town.

He is able to help you understand and figure out what you need to do to a painting and in the most instructional way. His advice on design of a painting is some of the best I have ever had in a workshop at my easel. Denise Rose
