 “You know we were reluctant on-liners, then we did the barn, and really enjoyed it, so now we’re hooked. We both get your class on our computers, then we coordinate our start times and we are on the phone together on speaker while we watch you, work through the class  and paint, so it is almost like having private lessons together with you. Even though we miss being with you in person, you do such a great job with the classes, it is amazing.  It also lets us rerun, backup, and we can see what you are doing really well.  You have mastered the medium, and we are so glad this is available to us.” Bonnie Ott

" 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

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

" Birgit's online watercolor painting courses, are a wonderful experience. Birgit is a very talented artist and her course videos 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
