Brilliant Cardinals Workshop

This workshop was a delight to attend! The amount and quality of instruction and support materials was superb, and Cynthia's personalized critiques were detailed and extremely helpful. I had an enjoyable, creative, and positive two days drawing the beautiful cardinals, and I would highly recommend Cynthia's workshops to everyone!

Brillant Cardinals

A lovely project and enjoyable 2 days just as I have found all the many courses that I have taken from Cynthia Knox in the past. Each one has been a wonderful experience. Cynthia has a real gift for teaching and sharing her enthusiasm and passion for art with her students. Her detailed written instructions reflect a large investment of time and preparation for her classes. Her patience and time management during class time and the ability to keep her students of all different skill levels engaged and "on track" during a 6 hour class is remarkable. I have never felt lost or frustrated during one of her classes even when I was a "beginner." She is always willing to answer questions during and after class and the multiple, detailed reviews of a student's "in progress" and final work are extremely valuable to her students. She along with her technical assistant Carolyn have mastered the art of online teaching. I have never experienced any "technical" or visual challenges in any of her courses and the post course videos and class notes are very timely and expansive. I highly recommend this course and look forward to taking many more from Cynthia in the future.

Dynamic Duo/ Brilliant Cardinals

I highly recommend this workshop! It is a fun way to build and practice colored pencil skills. It was a unique experience for me to be able to keep up with the instructor and have a beautiful, finished project by the end of two days. Between the step-by-step instructions and the detailed reviews Cynthia provides, you are almost guaranteed to have created the brilliant cardinals, regardless of skill level. I had so much fun I signed up for another class Cynthia is offering.

Outstanding!

Brilliant Cardinals is an exquisite design and Cynthia Knox is an excellent teacher!I enjoyed every minute of this two day classbecause Cynthia breaks down the design into small, methodical steps. The class was a relaxed pace and there was always time for questions. We were encouraged to email photos of our projects for her to review. She took a lot of time to analyze each part of the design and provided very detailed feedback. Her feedback really is a confidence builder for me. This is what makes her stand out as a teacher. I would definitely recommend her for all levels!

So much fun in 2 days

No surprise for me that this video course was such a joy - as all of the courses I have done so far. Cynthia encourages you to join the creative process and have fun. Strongly recommended
