Here’s what Jane M. had to say about Hilda’s watercolour course:
“As a complete novice to watercolour, I found this course to be an excellent start. The class was shown several examples of different styles through slide shows, videos, pictures and Hilda’s own paintings. She then guided us through the various mixing and brush techniques, giving us ample opportunity to try them out on subjects of our choice.
There was a wide range of skill levels in this class but, thanks to Hilda, the atmosphere was very friendly and supportive.
I am now motivated to work on improving my watercolour skills and look forward to taking another course with Hilda.”
