Tanya delivers a refreshing approach to colour and its influence in our art. I found the contemporary colour course informative and interesting with a great balance in theory and practice.
I feel motivated and inspired for my next painting using the techniques demonstrated and discussed.
Tanya has a very generous approach to teaching. Its lovely to be in the presence of someone enjoying their work and so willing to share knowledge and techniques on how they create. A great influence for enjoying and thinking more about the process.
