" Birgit's painting courses, are a wonderful experience. Birgit is a very talented artist and her online watercolor courses are so well prepared so easy to follow. In her interactive courses she was there to offer advise and encouragement, online meeting also taught additional techniques. Another bonus is your lifetime access to the course you can watch videos over and retry the painting as you gain experience. I absolutely love her online courses. I only wish someday I could complete a face to face workshop with Birgit, that would be amazing." Kathie Bevin

Thanks again, Karen Schmidt
"This has opened up a whole new world for me, yesterday's session drove home the point of how to turn a pleasant photo into a dramatic subject that truly tells a story. If I learn nothing else in the class (but I will), that lesson alone was worth the price of admission! A tangible AHA moment for me. Thanks for the joy" Sue Warnock

" I am very left brained which helps me make color charts of my palette and read tons of books on watercolor, but doesn’t actually create many paintings. Birgit has helped me unlock the inner creative self who loves to “play” with paint. I can’t believe the number of paintings that she has helped me create that could actually be hung on a wall. Thanks Birgit! I look forward to many more discoveries with you." Carol Cox
