Courtney was an amazing instructor. She was beyond patient with us and answered all of our questions (more than once). The sheet she brought to introduce us to the techniques of watercolor were very helpful. She gave knowledgeable tips and tricks throughout, and was so generous with her time.

I enjoyed the class very much and Courtney was a great teacher. She was extremely helpful in explaining different techniques and the results we could achieve by using different brushes, the colors and the application of how much water we use. I feel I learned enough to want to keep taking more classes.

When I was looking at my older photos I took with the beginner Nikon camera I came across the photo of Eastern Rosella perfectly displaying all lovely colours of the plumage. I thought it is could be great reference photo for the next painting project. I was right and I enjoyed the process.
