"Margaret gives one great workshop. Not only is she an outstanding artist but a very good and time conscious teacher that cares to leave a workshop with having given her absolute best to everyone that has attended. You don't see that dedication often. Margaret's love of people and her passion reflects in her works." Melanie L., Aiken , SC "A gifted artist and hard working in a workshop. She honestly loves what she does and considers it important to pass on her knowledge. She truly shares her love of the figure. You will have a wonderful time with her." Suzanne H., Atlanta , GA |

Painting the French Countryside And Monet's Garden, Giverny June 22 - July 4, 2010 |
"Urania's workshop was by far my best workshop experience. The schedule allowed ample time for painting (en plein air and studio), relaxing, and sightseeing, and the camaraderie was so fantastic." Joyce A., CA "As an inexperienced pastel student I received instruction that enabled me to produce paintings that far exceeded my expectations. Urania had positive constructive advice for students at all experience levels from a novice like me as well as the experienced professional artists that were in the class. Her painting demos are amazing for the technique she demonstrates as well as the instructive narrative that she presents as she paints." Judy B., Austin , TX |

Painting the Portrait in Pastel
JULY 31 - AUGUST 11 , 2010 |
"Alicia is a fantastic teacher! She did not waste time with a lot of technical jargon, but offered practical hands-on instruction with continual individual help. With the knowledge and new skills I gained from Alicia's workshop my art has progressed by leaps and bounds. My husband has even mentioned on numerous occasions what a huge difference Alicia's workshop has made in my paintings. This is the best and most enjoyable workshop I have ever taken and I highly recommend Alicia if you truly want to improve your art whether you are a beginner or professional." Gwen, CA "My husband and I both enrolled in one of Alicia's workshop to learn her highly unusual approach to pastel painting. We found her to be direct, articulate, supportive and fun, and we came away encouraged and excited. What more could you possibly ask for in an instructor or from a workshop?" Julia and Andrew, AR |

"You sparked an enthusiasm in me for color and painting! I'll always remember you as a Master Teacher!" Marilyn, Houston, TX. "Kay did a wonderful demo the first morning, and in the afternoon we set our palettes under her instruction. She is the most organized and prepared workshop instructor I think I've ever had! She came with a binder for each of us with all types of information: quotations from famous artists, information passed to her from her tutors, lists of her favorite books, anatomy drawings, materials list, photos of her works, etc." Vicki R., Rogers , AR |
