Listen to what another Ateliyay! Painting Bootcamp student Paulina P. has to say about her experience in the online class:
“Mandy,
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude!
I’m not sure how long I’ve studied with you; it’s been around a year, maybe even a little longer. I know that in Atelier Training Years, that’s just the beginning. I came with some experience, but I needed to uncover what I didn’t know and build a better foundation. I often felt frustrated with my lack of process and my inability to bring my paintings to a satisfying finish. I felt like I was going in circles.
Now, I feel much more confident. I have developed a clearer process and a greater understanding of my art. I learned why brown isn’t on the color wheel, how to tile, and how important poster studies and master copies are (and I do them now!). I’m also incredibly grateful that you encouraged me to write newsletters and taught me how to promote myself as an artist. I’ve gained so much from our discussions and the critiques we shared.
You bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table (canvas) and work hard to share it with those who need it.”
