Testimonial
"An excellent class with lots of variety and interesting approaches including looking at the work of different artists for each topic. Discussions were always constructive and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience."
Margaret
Portfolio class
Testimonial
"Throughout the Glencoe trip I found Blair gave me insightful tips that encouraged me to believe that I could actually paint outdoors like an impressionist. It was easy to ask for advice and this often lead to a richer conversation that helped me understand what I was trying to achieve."
Samantha
Student Glencoe Art Trip
Testimonial
"I enjoyed trying to write the Japanese characters. For a long time I had an interest in these characters. I enjoyed working with all the supplied materials. There was a great variety. The tutor was very helpful, knowledgeable and encouraging. An excellent course. I would recommend any future courses to my friends."
