One testimonial states, “I've learned more about how to make a real painting in three hours than I have in three years,” from Catherine Singels of Calistoga, CA. Another testimonial notes, “I've learned so much about composition, value, and color! She can teach you how to take a painting,” with the attribution unfinished in the source.
