REVIEWS! REVIEWS! REVIEWS!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“She really knows what she’s doing and how to teach you what to do, and how to do it. I’ve been an artist for many years, but I’m self-taught. I’ve always painted by intuition, not really knowing what I was doing or why I was doing it…it just FELT right. I left painting for many years and I’ve forgotten a lot. I needed someone to teach me, that I felt was as good as, or better than me, and I searched for YEARS to find that teacher. I’m very pleased with the direction she is taking me, and I am very confident that Michelle is someone who can teach me, not only how to improve my oils, but how to paint in watercolor as well. I don’t think I could have found a better tutor.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

I learned drawing from Michelle through taking a class. Excellent! Nobody does it better!<\/em><\/p>\n

“I first met Michelle when I started her Beginning Watercolor course during my Sophomore year of High School. I fell in love with her kind demeanor and passion for teaching, so I continued to take several of her classes throughout High School. During this time, she taught me techniques other art teachers had not shown me before, and she stretched me beyond my comfort zone to show me I was capable of so much more than what I had originally believed. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to attend her classes because I moved…but the experience from her teaching has been helping me excel in my current art classes and projects after graduating High School. I am deeply thankful for my time with Michelle, and I cannot recommend her classes strongly enough.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this past summer, I took a Watercolor Painting class…\u00a0 Michelle is quite an accomplished artist, and excels at many different types of art, including Watercolor.<\/em><\/p>\n

The class met once a week for 10 weeks, and in that time, I had quite a positive experience with Michelle.\u00a0 I was the only student in the class, so I got a lot of individualized attention.<\/em><\/p>\n

She began each class with a demonstration of a Watercolor technique, and often, she had an online tutorial set up to go along with it.\u00a0 She would demonstrate, then let me try my hand at it.\u00a0 She was very organized, and had things planned ahead for each of our sessions, often telling me a week in advance what we would be doing during the upcoming week.<\/em><\/p>\n

I would highly recommend Michelle for teaching art.\u00a0 She has a great teaching style in which she gives clear, concise instructions, and elaborates on them as necessary.\u00a0 She welcomes questions of any sort, and does her best to answer them as completely as possible.\u00a0 She is eager to share her knowledge of fine art, and works tirelessly to make art a positive experience for her students.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0-Anne<\/em><\/p>\n
