What students from Pat’s past zoom classes had to say…
Another great class today. You really have strong teaching skills. I learned a LOT. The full hour allocated to critiques at the back end of your classes is so helpful. Your lessons sink in so well when you can point to examples of issues on someone’s canvas, but you also teach how to correct. And you are always very complimentary and talk about the positives as well. ~ SG
It was fun! You are the best teacher ever! Thank you so much, time goes by so fast in your classes because they’re so engaging! ~AW
I learned a lot, even though I’ve been painting in oil for many years. The Powerpoint lesson upfront was a good tool to show visuals which we then applied in the “hands on” painting studies. I especially like that this particular multi-week course isn’t about creating one painting but, rather, helping the artist attendees think and maximize our creative judgment and awareness of tools at our disposal. This is a powerful teaching style and memorable as well. ~SG
You will be sent a supply list, photo references or other materials for each class.
