Testimonials
I felt like I was able to make rapid progress from near-novice to producing art that I am fairly proud of. Also, the class had a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere that encouraged participation and experimentation. The course exceeded my expectations. I am looking forward to the next one, whatever it happens to be. Andrew is friendly and helpful, and gave clear, useful, and concise advice - without trying to impose any particular style on the group. When ideas were difficult to express verbally, he was able to demonstrate them clearly. This was a really great weekend, and has encouraged me to get more involved in painting. I am very impressed.
