Absolutely wonderful course. Thank you for giving it to us for free and extending the time period to get it. This was the best lesson(s) I have ever had about color - color palette was a repeat but served as a good reminder. I haven't used mediums, beads, etc. so that was interesting and then mixing and using colors on a canvas in an abstract way. Choosing at least the basic colors ahead of time definitely make a difference. As I said, excellent course on color!

I love the way you teach, Mary Beth! Your style is very organic. I am always mesmerized by your process. And you include so many details about the supplies and your process that are bound to have me saying, “I never knew that before! I have to try it”. And I love that it’s not always about the end goal, although I must say that your finished pieces (or are they?) at the end of this course are inspirational. Thank you so much!

I took this as part of the 2020 Wanderlust course. I've got many of the golden products mentioned, but had never taken any class, so I felt limited in what to do with them--they mostly sit on my shelves. This class was so organized and proceeded logically. I can't wait to make some of my own color and product charts, and I am totally intrigued with learning to mix more of my own colors. So much better and cost effective than having 50 bottles of paint, and more creative. Thank you, Mary Beth, so much

Well written. Clear content, easy to follow. I'm glad the instructions were provided prior to the video, as I was able to follow along easily once I got to the visual content of the presentation.

These videos opened my eyes to a wonderful world of using paints. I am running out to the store for some "NECESSARY" materials seen in the videos. The usage of mediums to enhance paint was also just what I needed. The presentation and explanations were so clear that I know I will be able to apply to my work. Thanks for your helpful discussions in the video!
