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 "All credit to Amanda Brett Artist my wonderful encouraging teacher. Without her I would not have got this far." Catherine "Your course gave me the confidence to play with watercolour!! Many thanks to you for your fun approach to teaching, it really helped me to have a go for the sheer pleasure of it." Carol "Just want to thank you so much for the class last night - your encouragement and grace is so wonderful. I still can't believe I actually painted! And I'm thrilled with my effort, please tell me that tomorrow is Wednesday!!!" :) Katherine |
