“David, the workshop was wonderful! I learned a lot and I think the new information will help me to move forward. You are an excellent teacher! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience. Happy painting and safe travels.”
“Hi David, I feel great about what I learned in your workshop. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and being so kind to me. The workshop was fun and HAPPY!”
“The very first day and throughout the entire weekend I felt joyous. My heart was full and I enjoyed the energy you created in class. I was living and you brought it out of me. In terms of your teaching style it is so amazing. You are positive and encouraging and really work hard to help us learn. You also don’t have the ego and heavy critical nature that I have experienced with some other instructors. You couple that with your talent and that is an effective winning combo to teach! The way you teach I learn! What a fun weekend. Thank you again. Can’t wait for your next workshop. You seriously rock!”
“Hi David, A Fast Loosey-Goosey email to say WOW! I enjoyed your class so much that I had to say thank you one more time. Being a beginner and not having much instruction besides YouTube, you were the perfect teacher for me because you pushed me out of my comfort zone and into the zone of painting fast without a lot of thinking. And thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously. I love your book and it has been so useful because it has basic, useful information. My favorite part of the class was watching your painting demonstrations. I was amazed at what you painted in ten minutes. What a Fine Artist you are! I love your painting style.”
“David, I painted today for the first time in over a year (except for your workshop) and the credit goes to you. Thank you so much for your wonderful workshop which re-awakened my love of, and joy in color! My left brain appreciated how organized and well thought out all aspects of the workshop were. And my right brain loved the emphasis on spontaneity and without too much initial planning. In addition you are the only instructor in the many workshops I’ve attended over the years who discussed the business of art - again thank you.”
“David, thanks for the pics and thanks for a super workshop. Your enthusiasm and expertise made it such fun to learn from you. I loved also that you were clearly organized, in charge and so professional.
So thank you for your efforts, your generous sharing of all you know and your experiences...a super workshop from beginning to end. I love your methods and your approach and have to say, love the big brushes, the globs of paint color and the results. Will keep playing with all you presented and will stay in touch.
With every good wish for your continued success!”
