This course helped me let go of perfection. As someone who usually paints very tight and detailed, this was such a refreshing shift. Patti’s voice is so calming and her process makes everything feel doable. I loved learning how to simplify shapes and create atmosphere.

I never thought I could paint a street scene—until now! Patti makes something that looked complicated feel surprisingly approachable. Her color choices are gorgeous, and I appreciated the tips on how to warm and cool areas to create depth. This was the most fun I’ve had painting in months.

Truly inspiring and beautifully taught. I’ve taken several painting classes online, but this one stood out. The combination of florals, architecture, and that single figure walking down the lane really captured something special. Thank you, Patti, for teaching in such a generous and relaxed way.
