You can tell we had a lot of fun :-)

On Sunday, 7 wonderful folks from 4 countries joined me for an online painting class via Zoom. What fun it was! That's super chuffed me in the top middle above. I'm still buzzing :-)

Together we painted a rainy day scene from the Spanish Pyrenees, working from a photo I took a few years ago. I demo'd step-by-step and the students followed along. There was plenty of time for questions and students were able to show me their work as the paintings progressed. And just look at the results!

After the lesson students emailed me a photo of their finished paintings for a short (and friendly) critique by me.

Fantastic feedback from them all. I know we're excited to do this again soon. Join my mailing list if you'd like be notified when the next Zoom lesson is happening.

Just finished another one of @reneewaldenart ‘s online classes.

What fun this was!Thank you so much Renee! I am thoroughly enjoying your classes and learning soooo much!!! :-) It makes some of the things that have intimidated me feel so much more doable. Your generous teaching has been such a gift. MC, Red Bluff, CA, USA

After a Zoom class

That was absolutely fabulous! So great. You teach really well and clearly, and the visuals were really clear also. I also love your videos, but to be able to get immediate feedback or questions answered works really well too. I really hope you do more! DM, Adelaide, Australia
