Workshop Reviews

Given I am not an artist nor have I ever used watercolors it was to my great surprise that I had “fun” in Janet’s workshop for ink and watercolor.

She started us out with drawing exercises that freed up the inner critic and opened up the world of wonder, the wonder that comes with really looking at what you are going to draw and paint. A process that now has me “hooked”. She gave plenty of instruction and personal attention as we picked up our brushes and began to paint. By the end of the day I knew this was just a beginning. Which of course speaks volumes and is more about the teacher than the student🤪. Her workshop opened up a brand new world to me, one that is Pretty Special! Mahalo to Janet and all the other brave souls who showed up and wanted to give this a try. —Susan M.

Janet is a very talented watercolor teacher! She demonstrated her technique by painting a beautiful piece in real time while giving tips on page composition, creating visual interest, applying color, and more. Her class was dynamic and engaging, offering helpful advice on drawing and practicing two different watercolor techniques. She provided meaningful feedback on our work and taught us to view our pieces with eyes of beauty and appreciation. I was very happy with my artwork at the end of the workshop, and it made me want to practice and learn more! —Laura W.
