REVIEWS
This was my wife and I?s first time attending one of these events. We absolutely loved it! Aidy was fabulous! What a caring and considerate person he is! He gave reassurance and confidence - encouraged creativity and provided supportive direction and suggestions. Truly inspirational and he instilled belief in our own respective pieces of art - we had never experienced such positive feedback before. Thank you. We will be back!

I enjoyed the class very much. We were free to paint whatever we wanted to with some guidance. It was quite relaxing though a bit too cold for me.

I have enjoyed my afternoon learning about all the techniques. I believe I can also learnt much from from instructor as she seemed very experienced and knowledgeable, just she needed to follow the structure of the lesson. It was nice to go through different varieties of watercolour techniques.

Plam trees dominate tge scene overlaying the bushes with a peek of the cabanas and calm ocean in the background. You see the sky at sunset with dark rainclouds on the horizon. I painted this piece to exemplify atmospheric landscapes with both energy and tranquility,

Beautiful sunset in an early summer evening. I particularly like the dark cityscape as the backdrop. The sharp contrast made it a perfect image to paint after.

Title or Location: The Marshes
This 9x12 watercolor is a depiction of wetlands typical of Georgia at sunset. It's painted in a loose and expressive style. A central blue waterway snakes through the dense green reeds of the foreground marsh, reflecting the golden light of the sky with gray clouds and a distant line of green trees in the background giving it depth and perspective.
