    Great instructor and I am happy that I learned the basics of watercolor finally! Something I've been wanting to do for a long time.

    The instructor was on time for the class. His explanation about the lesson was very clear. I enjoyed the class.

    It was a beautiful day to be drawing in Central Park. I appreciated the initial instruction and the flexibility. However, more individual attention and guidance would have been helpful. There was one instructor for 12 people so it understandably took time for him to get to everyone throughout the 2 hours. I felt a little stuck.

    Absolutely terrific. Jessie was wonderful...lowkey, helpful, patient...excellent in demonstrating points such as ways to hold pencil...like a harmonica; explaining the differences in the numbering/lettering of pencils and what each drew; suggestions of views; using eraser as a tool for drawing....and list goes on. She walked around constantly checking with each of the seven of us. Her sense of humor and phrasing were also appreciated.
  • 1-Time Total Beginners Watercolor Painting Art in Central Park

    It was an enjoyable drawing class. I wished the instructor was a little more prepared with the materials beforehand. After we started, she encouraged us to find a spot. I moved down a little closer to the pond. Unfortunately the instructor didn't see me and didn't realize there was one less student in the class. Thus, I didn't get much guidance until the very end when the class ended. It was less than ideal.

    I am not at all sure what I expected, but I enjoyed what I got ! . The setting in the park was great and Amanda was very helpful . I think I might have preferred something a bit more structured but still, it was certainly worth the cost :)

    It was a wonderful experience, the setting was perfect, all the birds, ducks squirrels came out to play for us, posing and preening, they realized they were being stroked, Amanda is a sweet talented artist, we had a lot of fun, my colleagues were so nice, I was the grandmother in the group, at the end I was on a par with Monet! ahem!!!!
