TESTIMONIALS
What my students Say
I am proud to say that I have students who have been working with me for over 20 years.
“I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Nina’s workshops as an easy way into the joys of pastel painting. Nina has a way of making everything look easy, she is a superlative teacher and nothing is too much trouble if you get stuck. The group of like minded artists also have a hand in making everyone feel comfortable and ready to carry on.”
“This has been the most wonderful online art workshop. I am totally new to pastels and I have to admit I was slightly nervous. I enjoyed it so much I signed up for the whole series. Nina is a wonderfully talented artist in her own right and an excellent tutor. Every step of the process is explained clearly and the best part is, you have the video tutorial to watch in your own time, as many times as you wish. What a great way to learn all about pastels in the comfort of your own home! You will not be disappointed..”
