What Students Are Saying:

"I was so surprised to find that she (Nicola) started very simply, just playing with water and unmixed colors of paint. Slowly a beautiful patchwork of designs appeared on her page. Where boundaries and boundaries in the art have been blurred, she went to a pen and neatened up. Something else to add to the designs and to add some swirls and triangles to the dried paint. With growing excitement I realized that this project was well within my comfort zone." - Student Blog Post

Bonus: A new bonus lecture is now available! Plus, an essential assignment is proving incredibly helpful for understanding how the paints work – I'm receiving fantastic feedback!
