Linda is an awesome instructor, painting is not my thing, a friend had given me one of her workshops as a gift. What I experienced was magic, not only did she make it fun but the knowledge she shared made the mystery of water colors flow with ease and grace . And a big plus is that the end product actually looked good. I had so much fun that I have taken other classes from her.
