Student reviews:
"Jessica really made this class super easy! She provides a lot of helpful detail without it feeling overwhelming for a new, curious student or beginner watercolorist. I really think that anyone can take this class, no matter how much experience you have with watercolor. It's a short project and very entertaining. I'm kind of a control freak with my own paintings, so being able to just cut loose and create something so simple and loose really helps relieve a bit of artistic stress. Also helps flex my artistic muscles! Who would have guessed that a simple palette knife would be so wonderful to use in watercolor paintings? I can definitely see myself doing this again as a background for a larger scene. I highly recommend to give this class a go!" -Sarah Randall

"This is a very fun class. I think the results are obtainable for anyone with practice. I liked all the different ways of using the pallet knife but I think my favorite was the brushoes and negative space. Jessica is a wonderful and informative teacher, easy to learn from. I will be trying all these steps in the very near future." -Anastasia Miller
