    Israel Lopez, is a wonderful teacher. He's concise, patient and pleasant. I have done watercolor paintings in the past, but was always self taught. Israel showed us different techniques like: wet on wet, dry brush. We painted Koi and landscape etc. Five classes only, but packed in with information on brushes, what paper to use... worth the small price. I look forward to take more classes from Israel.

    This is a very enjoyable class. It was my second time taking it, and the instructor (Israel) made sure the challenges were different for me this time. He’s a great instructor and I won’t hesitate to recommend the class.

    Great class. Went a little fast. Would have liked to have another half hour to finish our paintings. No real feedback on our efforts

    Israel was a very good teacher, patient and able to explain the techniques used. A suggestion would be to email the students a photo of the following week’s project, supplies and technique focus. This way we could be sure we had everything needed. Because we’re not together as a class we’re unable to share paints as we can in person. Thanks for making the class available. It was very enjoyable.

    I loved this course (although I took it in May, not April) and plan to take it again to continue to practice and develop the techniques presented.

    I liked the class very much, the instructor was patient, laid back and knowledgeable. He was kind and never was bothered by our questions, especially nice for a person who had never used watercolors. I learned enough to continue practicing and getting more comfortable. Would recommend the class to others highly.

    I thought it was a wonderful class and learned a lot about watercolor. I liked how we did paintings step-by-step and came out with a completed work of art. I would definitely take the teacher again if he was teaching a more advanced watercolor class.

    I learned many new techniques in a relaxed setting with lots of encouragement. I also have expanded my set of art supplies so that I am ready for anything! Mary Roberts

    This class has been fantastic! Israel, the instructor, is extremely patient, knowledgeable and very talented! Each class, we worked on a new composition and he provided fantastic feedback. He was always willing to walk through the techniques multiple times and provide tips and advice on improving. It is a great price for the amount of instruction provided! I thoroughly enjoyed this class!

    This was a really great class! I learned the basics of watercolours and made some cool paintings while practicing. My instructor was great- he was patient and broke down concepts as needed. It was my first art class over zoom and I really enjoyed it! I do wish there could be a detailed supply list- because of living in an isolated place during covid, I wasn’t able to get some of the materials (such as masking fluid) and had to make so without- it didn’t really affect my paintings too much, but it would have been nice to have.
