REVIEWS from our Fall
2017 Class! |

Our class was a great
combination of foundational skills and hands-on application. The
concepts of using various brushes and mixing of colors has given me
more confidence to tackle projects on my own. Gail has an awesome
way of taking a novice to the next level. Alletta

This beginning class with Gail
was fantastic. She actually taught us special skills
and then we practiced. We created five paintings - TOTAL FUN!!
Gail gave us lots of insight into painting techniques. She was
always prepared and was very patient. I highly recommend this
class to anyone who wants to learn the basics.
