THREE PORTLAND RAINDROP Convention CLASSES - 69 students -
Portland, OR September 20 - 22, 2013
‣ I’ve been taking art classes for years. I learned more in your class today about fundamentals than all of them put together. M.
‣ I am an acrylic painter and have only taken one class in watercolor which was a disaster. I have taken many classes in the past 15 years locally and at conferences but have never enjoyed one so much or learned so much. You are the best – I am hooked. I even bought 3 of your CDs. Thank you so much for the wonderful painting experience. Also, I enjoyed talking to your wife Barbara – she is a doll. M.
‣ You have such a calming nature that you put all of us at peace. Everyone who sat around me said you were so smooth; so easy to follow. We loved that you occasionally went to everyone to check on them so no one felt they were left behind. J.
‣ You are an excellent teacher! I loved your instruction. It was just what I needed. I’m really pleased with my project. It was a wonderful learning experience. S.
‣ I loved the professionalism you showed and the knowledge you shared. B.
‣ I wanted so desperately to be in your White Magic class. It was the one class out of all the classes offered that I wanted to take. Your class was pretty much full but I told the office that I would sit on the floor, if necessary! They made a place for me...so thrilled they did. C.
‣ At first, I was afraid to try painting the soft edges but you made me feel so confident. You showed all of us 4 times how to do it so when it was time for me to try, I felt like I could do it. Guess what. I did it. I was so proud of myself. S.
‣ I really love your sketches. Those, along with your Step-by-Step teaching style, made the classes I took easy to handle. R.
‣ You are a true professional. You taught us so much good information. You explained everything so well. You made us feel like you really cared. M.
‣ I didn’t finish but I don’t care because I learned so much that now I feel I’m going home with 2 new techniques that I really know how to do. T.
‣ Thank you for your patience and showing me how to fix my mistakes. R.
‣ I learned more in your class than any other class I’ve ever taken due to your outstanding knowledge and your ability to teach. J.
‣ Thank you again for a great class. It is one of the best classes I have taken. I hope to be able to take other classes from you soon. If you are teaching anywhere close soon I would love to be able to be there. R.
‣ Loved your class. It was one of the most memorable that I have experienced at any convention. Your class was very comfortable; a true learning experience. I believe your work is incredibly beautiful and your teaching style is wonderful. I love beautiful work and I know a great teacher when I see one!! Thanks so much. G.
