I really loved and enjoyed this class! Heather really cares about each student and strives to understand our needs as adult learners. I think what impressed me most is her courage in painting while we watched and that she also welcomed and validated all of my many feelings and vulnerabilities.

I am planning to take the same course again with Heather in September. I learned a lot and was very satisfied with the course. Heather focused on the basics that beginning acrylic painters need, especially how to “loosen up” and paint more freely. I have taught skills courses to adults for over 40 years, and I found it very enjoyable to be the student for a change. Heather made the experience fun and rewarding.
I loved Heather’s classes! Simple, straightforward lessons outlining basic techniques in a comfortable and relaxed environment. Heather’s demonstrations were so enlightening and enjoyable, watching her go from simple blocks of colour to a work of art. The opportunity to learn the basic tricks of the trade, and explore painting shadows on snow, feathers on birds, and reflections on water made me (a novice painter) feel like I could actually produce something not half bad. And I did! Great class! Thanks Heather!
I have always enjoyed Heather’s classes. She provides her students with the basics to get started, but also teaches new skills throughout the class. She does a great job catering to various levels of student ability in her classes and is very encouraging to all. I always learn something new in her class, even when I choose to work on a completely different project than she has assigned. I appreciate the freedom that she gives her students!
