Testimonial
While this is an online Zoom class it has been a wonderful experience with a most professional empathetic and spirited teacher. Marc enables all students to participate at their own level of expertise without fear or feelings of inadequacy. He builds a strong rapport with each student and helps them to increase their abilities in a safe secure and supportive environment. Not only do we learn from Marc’s wonderful demonstrations but also from the critiques that are integrated into each class. Marc’s wide-ranging expertise, knowledge, and wisdom, which he imparts so generously, are a treat for us students. I know it has enabled me to feel confident, improve, and love Watercolor. Thank you seems not enough Marc. MM, 2024
