These classes are so informative I am now looking at every art book I have to see how often marks are used. Lisa is a fantastic teacher. Calming voice and step by step clear instructions. I learned so many useful things, even outside of marks, to use in all my art in the future. I definitely recommend this course for anyone who loves to play with marks, and even those who are not inclined to use marks. Thank you very much for lending your vast knowledge of mark making. The format of the course was also fantastic.
I absolutely loved this class. I wasn't sure I would enjoy all the lessons going in, but I truly did. It was organized in such a way that I really felt it improved my eye and was also very inspiring and that I just started getting lots of different ideas of what I could do on my own, highly recommend! Totally fun!!!
