The instructor was thorough. She began with basic drawing skills, which we all said was very helpful. She also demonstrated what we were to do, thenshe provided individual attention to each student, which we all also liked.

I really liked how she went over techniques with us first to help build a baseline skill set. Then she had a project to apply the skills to.

Shweta is very knowledgeable and a talented artist. She broke things down into easy to grasp concepts. It made drawing seem a lot less intimidating and more attainable. She helped us feel very successful.

The beautiful mountains and the bright blue waters in Montanna are beyond breath taking. I traveled there a few years ago with my husband and our dogs. I could have stayed forever! When I was painting this painting, I was visualizing the majestic mountains the clear blue waters, that I remember from that trip, and oh so dearly miss.

Title or Location: Gromit in heaven
Gromit was a ?foster fail? who helped many other foster dogs on their way to a new life. He demonstrated life could be kind and to try and trust again. His favorite play dates were at Union Reservoir, retrieving tennis balls in the water. The day before Memorial Day in 2018, he started fading fast, a rush to the emergency vet showed the cause, cancer on his heart. He died just after midnight, so it would be impossible for me to forget him. He was 4years old.
