I really enjoyed the course - your energy is so nice and there is a special quality to your work that is just fun.

Abstracting What You See

Honestly the best online course I’ve ever taken. You explain everything so clearly that it really helps me understand how to think, not just what to do. It’s made such a difference to my learning.

Rosa is a brilliant teacher – generous, patient, honest in the kindest way. And just loads of fun and good energy, just like her artwork.

I’m inexperienced as an abstract painter and watching Jamie work so peacefully was very inspiring and dissolved my fears about making a start.

Loosen The Landscape

I especially liked the part of abstracting, very loosely, components of the landscape - it made me start thinking in a much more abstract way than I ever have.

I wanted to show you this one. 60 cm x 90 cm. I like it.

Louise's courses have been invaluable in helping me get to where I want to go with my work but couldn't get there on my own.

Abstracting What You See

The note about using the saturation to see your values in black and white was new and fascinating. This definitely gives me new area to consider while creating a composition.

Renovating my workshop and painting our house but found time to play with coffee in the breaks. Just playing after watching this great course.

It has been so fun to (try to) loosen up and stumble upon some small delights. Not sure where this will lead me. Thank you for the inspiring lessons!

I absolutely Loved Color and Composition with Wendy Westlake. I have been experimenting with raw canvas and acrylic stains for a while and this class really gave some clarity to technique.
