Cathy writes: “I’ve had the pleasure of taking many of Kathryn’s art classes in her studio and have loved each of them. Her studio space could not be more conducive to creative learning, and I always love witnessing her latest works. Kathryn is a natural teacher who spends time in each class providing examples of artist’s works and teaching the skills for the particular class. Then students can put these skills into practice creating their unique work. Kathryn’s attentiveness to each student throughout the process, providing thoughtful advice and recommendations, is the icing on the cake. I encourage anyone to take one of Kathryn’s art classes, she will bring out your inner artist!” Attended Oil Painting, Studio Practices, and Printmaking classes
Martha writes: “Kathryn is a very patient teacher and has such a beautiful place to paint- both in her studio and outside on her property. I had previously painted in acrylics but had wanted to try watercolors for a long time. I always found them so daunting, but she helped me relax with them and to simplify my compositions. She was very generous with her supplies, and we had many informative exercises prior to jumping into the plein air painting. I now have more confidence to play and have fun with watercolors. Thanks, Kathryn!” Attended Painting, Plein Air Watercolors classes
June writes: “Kathryn offered a one-day plein air watercolor class which was just what I needed to jump start my own stalled efforts at painting. I was motivated enough by that class to follow on with a private lesson a few days later. Kathryn is a great teacher. Her own amazing art, which was displayed in the studio where we worked, was inspiring. Materials were provided so that students could try what was available before buying their own. Class started on time; Kathryn’s instruction was clear, well-organized, and fast-paced—-no time wasted! After practicing a few techniques, students worked on their own chosen compositions for the rest of class time. Kathryn gave attention and encouragement to each student as needed, without “hovering”. Thank you, Kathryn!.” Attended Plein Air Watercolors class – Private tutorial
Catherine writes: “Kathryn's Basic Drawing Class was quite an eye opener for me. I had never taken an art class (other than a required survey course in college) and I was so afraid to discover that I have no talent at all. Kathryn's welcome was wonderfully open to her students. Her studio is beautiful, light, and airy. I was immediately comfortable to try. What I learned was that drawing is a very individual enterprise, that paying attention to your subject in all its detail is key, that your tools matter, and that willingness to practice and retry, again and again, is the only way to hone skills. I'm still practicing and hope to attend another class soon!” Attended Basic Drawing class
