"The instructor's enthusiasm is perfect! Her knowledge is vast." D.S.
"The best part of learning these techniques and being reminded of the others is having you show us how simple they are and easily usable." Nancy G.
"I enjoyed the class because it was taught in an easy and relaxing atmosphere." N.J.
"I'm new at it so my "sponge" is soaking up all your helpful hints." D.S.
"I would have never attempted this landscape prior to this class so it's good to know if I go slow I can do it." N. G.
"I never in 54 years attended an art class and all of a sudden I'm getting excited that I can not only follow Irene's instruction but am finding my own style. It's a miracle that I could come to this place!" Edeltraud V. R-L.

"I attempted watercolor pencils on my own and gave up -- Irene's instructions gave me the "tools" and "techniques" I needed to feel confident and inspired. Now I'll take sketchbook, pencils AND watercolor pencils to my forays in nature. Yahooooo!" Elise L.
"I learned a lot and found a new passion. I enjoyed the art challenge and sharing of tips and resources." Karen P.

"Wonderful, knowledgeable instructors, while experts in their fields, often don't consider the Beginner Mind and can be poorly organized in regards to class structure. Irene is not only a master journaler and scientific illustrator, but she synthesizes complex material into a dense format geared for the novice." Kristi M.
"You were well prepared and experienced in taking beginners through the necessary steps to produce something we'd be really proud of." Karin O.
"The materials are beautifully organized and Irene is an inspirational teacher, knowledgeable and accessible. Thank you!" Darrelle C.
