“A wonderful, social experience, in which I felt safe to experiment with new techniques such as painting transparent objects under Marianne’s careful and considerate guidance. I even jumped ahead at times by referring to the subject material we were painting together and then reflected back with the others. A rewarding lesson and definitely worth returning.”
“I’m someone who loves the idea of painting, but never do any because it feels so intimidating. In 2 hours with Marianne’s in-depth instruction and guidance, I was able to create something I wouldn’t have done on my own - and finish something I could be proud of. She made the whole process very enjoyable and rewarding. Highly recommend her classes!”
