What Students Have to Say
Katharine has adjusted to the new normal of online teaching with incredible skill and speed. She makes great use of the visual advantages of the online medium to deliver her classes without compromising on the quality of instruction. Being in one of her lessons is like having a front-row seat or even looking over her shoulder as she sketches. It’s fantastic.
Katharine’s view of the world is aesthetic – a view she cannot but transmit to her students. I have had the pleasure of having Katharine guide me through an online drawing class and was struck by her passion for the subject, her expertise with the skills involved and her joy in communicating those to others.
Katharine’s classes have been a great opportunity to learn and practice the basics of drawing. She is a patient and attentive teacher and her demonstrations are always a bit magical to watch. Looking closely at the natural world and learning to draw it accurately has been a worthwhile and very enjoyable experience for me.
Looking forward to your next class!
