want to know what my students think of my class design?

Mel's Watercolor and Gouache Class was an incredibly worthwhile use of my Sunday mornings over the last six weeks.

It allowed me to tune in to the wealth of knowledge they shared. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to improve their watercolor and gouache skills. It was incredibly informative and fun.
