Here are a couple of quotes from the March sessions:

“Matt’s style of demonstrating is simple and engaging. During the demonstration he showed with verbal explanation, the process of creating a simple wash and with equal ease, the more complex steps in layering, dry-brush and detail, eventually completing two paintings. Keeping numbers low, Matt’s small groups felt at ease and friendly, questions were asked throughout which were all answered clearly. I have learned much from the classes and I like to think my own painting has improved as a result: simplify, prepare, paint with confidence and decision.”  Henry Jones

“Really enjoyed the demonstration last week, it was my second visit and I have been inspired both times. I have found your clear and structured approach and explanations immensely helpful and I will look forward to attending in June.” Christine Camp
