“Of all your classes, which are superlative, this was my absolute favorite. I learned a lot (cold wax painting is not oil painting) and will march forward with a well-stocked arsenal of techniques, advice, information, and your expertise. Thank you so much for all the effort, enthusiasm, caring, and attention you put into not only the course content but also in helping all of us learn these techniques. This course has led to a new direction for me and my art. Amazing stuff. Thank you.”
“This is the best class I’ve ever done. Challenging in a good way and wonderful instruction. I will miss this.”
