This first class was amazing! Totally exceeded my expectations. I learned more in this one class than I have in several other watercolor classes. I loved the easy format and how the class was taught. I can’t make most Mondays, but will make a special effort for topics of interest. It was an extremely supportive and fun environment! - Sandra
I really enjoyed the classes this fall. They helped me remember how much fun art can be! I especially liked the way you presented each class lesson with important information and techniques but without a "recipe" for us to follow. You encouraged us to "go for it." -Pat
Janet is a great teacher. She makes people feel at ease instantaneously and fosters a warm and friendly learning environment so that you can have fun exploring new techniques while also meeting new people. -Robin
