    this is not my medium, but the ideas about how to see (feel and taste) were very helpful. Perhaps the most interesting notion was about the "hot spots" in the image. I will look into more of Amy's classes for sure.

    Amy is an excellent at teaching in a clear and concise way and getting exactly to the point. A good brief introduction to get you started in landscape drawing. I'm not sure it was exactly as I expected but the information presented is important for any beginner. Class was fairly brief but I still need to learn to put what I see down. My tree looks nothing like hers. This is where i need help next and was not really covered. I could easily take more of her classes if she had them.

    I cannot understand the few people who were critical of this class. She gives dozens of excellent ideas for the beginning landscape artist. Especially helpful was the explanation and use of the viewfinder to focus your drawing. Five stars fom me to her. Thank you! Extremely helpful and inspirational.

    It's been about 20 years since art school and I am now getting back to it. I felt like this was a great review of basic techniques and tips. The information was very helpful to get me back to drawing again.
