Course testimonials:
- The painting skill learned and being with other painters. The lovely tutor; Lyn is kind and very warm so it was easy to feel comfortable in the workshop. A very enjoyable 3 days. Appreciated the extra work with the camera to make the visual presentation so everyone could see clearly.....Carina R from Maleny
- Lyn is so generous in sharing her knowledge. We learned some very interesting ways of going about painting portraits which I have not heard of before. She shared her amazing flesh (of any hue or value) palette, tons of demo work and was tireless in helping everyone in the room as they progressed through a portrait of their choice to paint. A must do workshop... Helen, Perth
- I loved this workshop. The techniques Lyn generously shared about creating form that can be applied so broadly to all subjects, was invaluable. She has a wonderful teaching manner....no one misses out on her time....so lovely. Thanks so much Lyn....Debbie L from Carina Heights
