​STUDENT FEEDBACK
Thank you Amanda for your fabulous art class on Saturday... You have such a fun vibrant character and made the whole day seem so fun and easy. Some art classes can feel daunting... But you made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed. Brilliant. Thank you so much. I particularly love your camper van paintings and would love you to do a YouTube creating one of these. Thanks again. Kirsty​

​thank you Amanda. I had a great time at your workshop on Saturday! I have done as you suggested, drawing & sketching and also playing with paints and colours, I’m really enjoying it and it’s a good way to relax. ​Thank you! Nisha

Quality Guarantee: All my watercolours are painted with only modern professional grade watercolour paints on Museum exhibition grade watercolour papers, they are extremely lightfast and will become a family heirloom and passed down to subsequent generations. ALL art of ANY medium should be hung away from direct sunlight. If​properly cared for, watercolour paintings will last as long, if not longer, than oil paintings. I only paint on 100% cotton rag paper, mostly Arches and Fabriano, and frame to conservation standard with acid free materials.
