Notes & Doodles 
Dear Sudeshna, Many thanks for your illuminating class on zoom yesterday. I learned so much ! I especially appreciate your very organized way of presenting your points, talking them through as you demonstrated, and allowing us time to follow along with the steps. I loved learning about how to leave “breathing spaces” between distances – we always hear about learning to paint light, but you taught us how to paint air ! I will look forward to more classes with you in the future.
With all best wishes,
Beverly Mack (Massachusetts, although my heart is in Abiquiu)

Dear Sudeshna,
Thank you for an enjoyable and informative class yesterday. It was my first art class as I have been teaching myself to paint with watercolors for a year, relying on books and videos. It was such a pleasure to have a real live instructor/artist help me solve some of the problems I have encountered. I will be taking more of your online classes later this month. I will be visiting Northern New Mexico in September and now I am even more excited. The skies here on the Oregon coast are very different from those painted by O’Keefe. I’m looking forward to trying my hand at painting your sky.
Sincerely,
Berta Morgan
