REVIEWS
On a cold rainy day, despite this the class was an awesome break. Melissa is an awesome instructor and I learned SO much about the basics of technique that I never learned before. Materials provided were great.

Melissa was clearly passionate about painting and quite knowledgeable. She was able to break down what she knew into digestible bits to practice and explore with and then apply that learning by creating a landscape painting together. It was a lot of fun and I plan to attend more of her classes. Her easy going vibe made the class all the more enjoyable for a rainy Saturday afternoon. It was also so kind of her to share her high quality supplies during the class.

The California Trail Interpretive Center (west of Elko, NV) hosted a ?learn & paint? activity. The subject was owls. I began this piece during the hourlong class, then, finished later giving myself a little freedom to venture away from the exact lesson example. I?m fairly new to watercolor and wanted to focus on: edges (lost, soft, found, etc.) and the expressiveness of the bird?s face. I truly enjoyed the experience of being out, painting amongst other artists, and continue to attend their

Title or Location: Springtime at Ault Park Pavilion
My Ault Park Pavilion painting was inspired by a perfect spring day when my husband and I wandered beneath the cherry blossoms at Ault Park. He paused to take photos of the blooms while I soaked in the beauty of the pavilion I?ve always loved?its arches, its history, its quiet elegance. That peaceful moment together, surrounded by soft pink petals and the architecture I adore, became the heart of this piece.
