"This was the second time I attended a workshop and it was just as fun and relaxing as the first. I really enjoyed being able to explore watercolour and charcoal all in one sitiing. Usually I stay away from charcoal, scared to make a mess of it but these lessons really taught me just how easy and calming it can be, no matter how difficult it may seem, and I absolutely look forward to another workhop asap."

"When one attends an art workshop, which motivates you to go grab your brushes at home ... it says a lot!! Outside my little circle of oil paint comfort, Maria opened my senses to the world of water colours and a new freedom in painting. The fun and relaxed atmosphere helped me to throw my 'controlling caution' to the wind and follow her step by step guidance.
My first water colour masterpiece undoubtedly brought a new bright yellow ray of creative sun into my life. Thank you Maria!!" (Marlene)
