  • Holly W.

    Wonderfully informative watercolor workshop at a beautiful location. Angeline was able to help me one on one and I was able to create a watercolor floral wreath picture with what I learned (I was a complete beginner!). Can’t wait to take her next workshop!

  • Megan G.

    I took a novice watercolor class and it was absolutely top notch. Everything was amazing, from the location, the set up and supplies given, the actual instruction and the overall atmosphere and fun time .

    The painting instruction was very helpful. I had not had an instructor quite as helpful and demonstrative. The equipment she used to project her own table so we could see her strokes was a great addition.

    I did not know we would leave the class with handouts with helpful tips and how to’s, as well as some basic supplies and a few little fun extras. That was a nice touch.

    If you have the chance to take a class from Dots & Dust, I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed!

  • Allison D.

    I attended a novice watercolor class from Angeline and had a great experience! We learned basic strokes and how to watercolor leaves, rosebuds, and roses. Angeline makes her own paint mixes which she gifted to us in her class. We also went home with a top notch brush, high-quality paper, and other goodies. The charcuterie and venue were AMAZING! I don’t consider myself to be a talented artist, but this class was a great way to get in touch with my inner artist and learn to express myself through watercolor. Angeline is a great instructor, and is clearly very passionate about her talents and teaching others to express themselves through art. She used a magnifying camera during instruction to show the class how to perform each task and allowed lots of time for questions and practice. Would highly recommend her classes.

  • McKenzie V.

    This was, by far, the best watercolor class that I have taken. Her instruction technique was wonderful and the materials that she provided (that we got to take home) are top quality. Her classes are worth every penny and I will be signing up for more in the future. Also her watercolor paints are great and I will be restocking with her paints in the future.

  • Linda W.

    What a wonderful learning experience at a lovely setting. Angeline is an excellent, supportive instructor. The workshop was well organized and used quality supplies. I had a wonderful day and hope to work with her again. Thank you, Angeline!
