    really enjoyed the class with Ingvild. This was my first time painting since middle school and I wanted a class that would help me understand the basics of painting. Ingvild is a great teacher. I also a blast meeting other students in the class. Highly recommend for both beginners like myself and more advanced students as the Vedic Art Method has different steps depending on the students experience
