Wonderful Class and excellent instruction for a first time student as myself . Would recommend to anyone who is interested in learning acrylic paints and other techniques.

I took a class along with a friend with Chris and enjoyed it immensely. Chris had all the supplies ready and a suggested item to paint. My friend wanted to paint something different---Chris was able to easily switch gears and give us both guidance as we painted. Neither of us were experienced with painting, but we were pleased with our results!

I have taken watercolor classes with Chris. She is an excellent teacher with a lot of patience. I highly recommend taking any of her classes if you get the opportunity.
