First off, Heather is not only an amazing artist, but also instructor. Very knowledgeable and explains things clearly. I love grasping the basics so I can add on to my skills. Anyone who finds figure drawing a challenge should take this class to get rid of that fear. I learned a lot in just 6 weeks. Plus, it was FUN!

The stages of learning watercolor were well laid out. It was fun to watch how Heather thinks about creating her art. She is very pleasant and an encouraging voice. I would absolutely take any art class from Heather in the future.
