  • “Of all the workshops I have attended, I feel that this one made the largest and quickest influence in my work. At the end of day two, I felt that the small 4 inch section of a face I had done was the best work I've ever done! Thank you Tina, for your expertise, your generosity in sharing that with us and for your amazing heart.”
    — D.H., TEXAS
  • “The most informative workshop I've been to. You're the most 'giving you all I've got' artist/teacher I've known — and your honesty is a virtue that is so important to me! I have been in a painting slump for a few months and much of what you said really encouraged me, now I'm very inspired and motivated to go home and DO THE WORK!”
    — DEBI MURRAY, INDIANA
  • “In no other workshop have I learned so much! Tina, you were personable, you made it easy to explain and follow your demonstrations. I liked the time you spent with me helping me and showing me how important values are and teaching me point-to-point measuring. I got so much information from you and am so excited to practice at home now. I would take another workshop with you... I enjoyed every minute of this workshop! Not only are you an amazing artist, but also a wonderful person and a great teacher. Thank you!”

  • "I started at Dutch Atelier of Realist Art since the beginning of October. Even though I am not a beginner, I started with much enthusiasm and learned a lot again. If you really want to learn how to draw and paint in the traditional way, and if you do not have a problem attending lessons in English, then you are at the right address!"
