I got some pastels out and did a pastel painting of a wee dog a friend had posted on on facebook, and when I showed it to her she wanted to BUY it!!
Look forward to linking up with you.
Thank you
Carol Bloomfield

I certainly hope some day in the very near future you are able to come back again and I will be able to make the classes.

I am also an online student of Alain Picard whose superb teaching I will be forever grateful for… but Gail is right about the face to face experience. I understood so much more about layering, limited palette and the most valuable to me… learnt how to be less heavy handed. Thankyou Gail for an amazing experience.

Hope to see you in June! Nancie
