Testimonials

    "I will never look at the world the same way again!"
    — Roberta Conroy, Palm Springs, CA

    "You have a very generous spirit! You shared your vast knowledge of drawing and painting in a way that was easy to understand and very comprehensive. I was inspired by your passion as an artist."
    — Sharon Cole, Los Angeles, CA

    “I learned more in this one day workshop than I’ve learned in any other art course, anywhere, ever!”
    — Susan Spak, Farmington, CT

    "I am not particularly talented in drawing, but wanted to spend some time with the craft and get some pointers. Suzanne did a great job of encouraging all of her students, regardless of their level of expertise, and provided everyone with positive feedback as well as suggestions for how to improve our drawing and/or skills. In each class, she gave us a project or two which taught a skill related to drawing. All of us were appreciated at the level where we were able to perform. In fact, Suzanne admonished us for self-criticism. I wanted to commend Suzanne for teaching with such acceptance."
    — Cheekwood Museum student, Nashville, TN

    “To describe an introductory drawing and watercolor workshop given by Suzanne McDermott is to define a learning experience that blends a clear demonstration of basic techniques and insight with a creative spark and confidence that are contagious. Even now, many paintings down a road of artistic venture, I recall all that I learned that weekend with Suzanne with nothing but thanks and pleasure.”
