    Anonymous review on 8/19/2022
    I am a true beginner with no prior experience. I learned about brushes, brush strokes, and paint mixing. Judith gave me great critiques with very good tips. The only negative is that the students seemed to be sorted by age instead of experience. I was the only “newby” so it was a bit intimidating.

    I really enjoyed this class. I chose it to try out watercolor. It was appropriate for a beginner and the required materials list was short. We covered a lot of introductory techniques including painting on wet and dry paper, color mixing, creating textures, and painting objects and landscapes.
