"Remember the reason you're doing this, and stay true to yourself.  Have fun".  Nothing like a painting workshop that teaches life lessons.  :)  Thank you for a wonderful workshop, Mark.  I felt like I was spending an hour and a half with a good friend doing what we both enjoy doing most!  I especially appreciated the touches of color theory and the freedom you use in regards to color.  I loved this class and appreciate Mark's ability to teach well.

That was fun, Mark. Who knew you had some teacher in you? I really like this style and now I’ve done one. I’m more of an architectural rendering type person, so this was outside my comfort zone but so much fun. Thanks, Sally with the same last name.
