What Students say:
"DEEP is an inadequate description, WOW. This is a lesson in all aspects of layering and glazing like no other. When I look at these lessons, why I am looking makes me see things so much differently than I have been as a student painter You really have done a very wonderful and complete job with this lesson. I look deeper and see more and understand more now." Trish Kuncewicz
"This painting calls upon all the skills we learned in her floral masterclasses and layers new skills on top of them. Through extremely subtle shading, dramatic layering, intricate negative painting, and intriguing color combinations, the blossoms emerge in all their glory from the carefully designed background. Mastering this painting will take my skills to the next level!" Sue Warnock
