What students are saying

“This was a really wonderful class! I feel like it helped me to understand how to start a landscape drawing, using the rule of thirds and defining the focal point of the picture. I liked using the pen first and adding watercolor overtop. You also had some great tips with pen lines and adding a little tint of red to capture the viewers eye. Thank you so much, I feel like I have learned so much!!”
