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.

This is an amazing course and very easy to follow. Linda is a wonderful teacher and uses such rich inspiring coaching words that just draw you into your work or your masterpiece non stop. I was hesitant at first because I mostly paint in watercolors, but Linda has this wonderful ability to transform your skills from watercolor painting to oils and acrylics. This opens up a whole new horizon for me.
