I am still waiting to get my pan pastels. Something that is on the top of my list, but haven't gotten them yet. I really need to because I want to take these classes of yours in the worst way. I bet they are amazing! The next best thing to having one in person.

Absolutely loved your poppies class. I love my pan pastels!!!!!!!Your classes have been amazing...kepp them coming. I watched the poppies video and am starting to try out the projects. I have always dreamed of being able to draw. Your insight into the basic shape of something turned on a light bulb. I love poppies myself but am seriously crazy for coneflowers. After practicing with poppies, I think I will be brave enough to try and draw and paint a coneflower. Thanks
