- 5/5 from Maureen Lingga, attended Nov 2025: I had a great experience. The teacher was welcoming, patient, and clearly passionate about the subject. I really appreciated the practical tips she shared, little techniques for capturing perspective quickly, choosing what to focus on, and keeping sketches loose and lively. The whole process felt relaxed and enjoyable, and I never felt rushed or intimidated. It was the perfect balance of instruction and personal exploration. I left feeling inspired. Highly recommend this class to anyone curious about urban sketching!

- 5/5 from Kim Bedrossian, attended Feb 2022: A lovely teacher and class. Relaxed, inspiring and informative. It has definitely given me a basis to pursue Urban Sketching in more depth.
