 “I learned a lot about composition and mixing color and also gained some confidence to create. 

"Anne helped me to learn about balance, values, and moving the eye around a piece.  I also learned how to mix colors to match the ones I had mixed before.  This class was a perfect mix of demonstrations, discussions, critiques, work time, and one on one attention. Anne is a wonderful teacher!”

“One of the best workshops that I have been to; low key and full of meaningful information.  Anne’s Demonstrations were just right – not too long winded.  She gave the right amount of information – much more and it would have been difficult to synthesize it.  During our individual work time, Anne never hovered but was always around and helpful.”

“Thanks, Anne for a great workshop!  It was the perfect length for gaining the necessary information; a good intro to several ways to approach abstraction.  The demos were good and a good length.  Anne left us plenty of time to work on our own, incorporating a nice combo of demo and critiques.  Anne constantly rotated through the students giving personal feedback while encouraging individual styles.”

“What a pleasure!  The class was well organized.  For me it was a little scary at first, but Anne was so encouraging that I can’t wait to do more at home.  I learned more about painting abstractly and what makes a great piece as well as how to harmonize my colors.  The demonstrations were just right and included a bit of history.  The individual attention was very generous.  Thanks!”
