Hope to book another lesson soon!
I purchased a lesson with Laurel for my partner who wanted to learn more about oil painting, and she hasn't stopped talking about how great her experience was! Laurel was kind and flexible with the lesson, specifically working on skills and answering questions about the things my partner was most interested in learning about. We really hope to book another lesson with Laurel some day in the future!
