    It was a great beginning class to colored pencil. It started on time & gave good information. I think Molly did a great job giving several different examples of colored pencil & how to start it.

    This was an incredibly fun and helpful class. My previous teacher experiences learning watercolor made me not enjoy it as I didn’t understand the process correctly. This class was entirely different, with the instructor Anna Levy being engaging, funny, informative and allowed me to finally understand the art of watercolor while having a relaxing experience at the same time.

    We covered the basics and I had fun trying. Drawing is not my thing but enjoyed being able to have more formal context of “how to draw”!

    We enjoyed the class. The instructor was helpful and engaging. We did expect a bit more of a Valentine's Day vibe, since it was advertised as such, but still had fun.
