I was so fortunate to have found Amanda Parker. I actually found her online, it was such a joy to work with her. Before Covid she came to the house weekly for in-depth painting lessons.I learned some art history, I learned perspective, I learned contouring and shadowing. I had painted before but I certainly got a whole new perspective on my work when Amanda started instructing.After Covid I could always rely on her to answer my questions whenever I needed extra guidance. She always took the time to explain My cares and concerns~~~I can’t tell you how much I have learned, including information about galleries, colors, products..etcShe is an excellent instructor, and expected the best out of me, therefore pushing may beyond what my expectations were. I’m grateful!!!Patti PaintonAshburn
