comments: I have been painting for approximately one year. Prior to Sherry’s class I was told to just paint what I saw with very little specific direction. I remember during one class looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to begin. This style of teaching was very intimidating and frustrating for me. |
 Gladys finished value study using ink washes. |

I started taking
classes from Sherry about six months ago. I began with her first
class which is basic sketching (drawing shapes from nature). In this
class I developed a clear understanding of value, hue and intensity.
I quickly proceeded to painting my first portrait. Sherry has provided
step by step instruction. She has taken the fear out of painting
and given me the confidence to pursue my dream of becoming a fine
artist. |
