Barbara gave me a way to measure my artistic skill. Within a month I could hardly believe the improvement I made in painting! She has a knack at simplifying the steps, and she inspires me to be creative in the moment.
Each time I went to art class, I left feeling good because when I was stuck, Barbara insisted my art had to be made my way. After asking me a few questions I found myself painting a scene I never dreamed of ever doing!
There was so much going on in my job, so much stress. My girlfriend mentioned this art studio. I signed up, a year later I'm still doing classes. Who knew I'd take up carving?
