"Honestly, I’m amazed every day by the course and by Catrina. Not only are the assignments and explanations top-notch every week, but the additional touches to the course and the unique words of encouragement for each student are incredible! The diploma itself is just outstanding. Usually, I don’t even open diplomas at the end of courses… But here, it’s a masterpiece created by the teacher, and it’s personalized. I will definitely print it out and hang it on the wall. It’s a personal piece of work from a beloved teacher!

Katrin, my deepest respect. You inspire and encourage us, how can we not draw now?! Thank you! Thank you for the course, the guidance, your time, and attention to each student."

"Very well-presented material, beautiful lessons, and interesting tips and hacks. After watching the videos, you feel inspired and immediately want to sit down with your paints and start creating—creating—creating 😅✨ I’m very grateful for the relaxed pace of the course, with no strict deadlines or pressure, and no reports. The atmosphere in the chat is very supportive, warm, and uplifting 🥰"

"For me, this course is something new because the last time I used pencils was back in school 😅 Usually, I work with either acrylics or watercolours, but here we use everything together, which is amazing. It's challenging but opens up a lot of space for imagination and creativity 🧡🫶🏼. Plus, it's great that we don't just follow step-by-step instructions, brushstroke by brushstroke, but create something unique and personal each time ☺️"
