Diana continued to be very diligent in this class as well as all her others that I have taken. She is kind, helpful and encouraging in her critiques and answering our questions. I especially loved learning her techniques of enhancing the portraits and making them painterly. Fantastic class. I feel like I just painted the best portraits I have ever done with her help and instruction.

I have had nothing but excellent experiences with the teaching and the class participation at DAA. The teachers are of the very highest caliber and always encouraging. Fantastic experience to learn with class participation as well as the personal critiques from the teachers. Its almost like someone looking over your shoulder guiding you to be your best.

The lessons are concise allowing an easy to follow fun challenge with rewarding results. Diana’s videos along with her comprehensive lessons are outstanding… nothing is left out. Also, Diana is very quick to reviews and questions.. wonderful response turnaround. Looking forward to future classes with Diana.

Diana – I can’t express enough how much I’ve enjoyed your classes. I am so impressed with the amount of information you’ve shared and all the extra bits including working with color, embellishing, right through to enlarging… great package, great delivery! I, like so many others, have discovered this passion to create perhaps a little late in the game. My introduction to Painter and Photoshop has been a wonderful journey in so many aspects allowing me the challenges of learning and expression. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some pretty wonderful and talented people I would have missed out on if not for this vehicle. Again, thank you and most certainly will see you in any of your new classes

This class was greater than my expectations. Diane is a wonderful teacher. I have taken all her class and I have received a wealth of knowledge. I am waiting to sign up for her next class. Great work Diane.

DAA is a fantastic way to learn Painter, and at your own convenience. DAA has courses for the novice to experienced, and the teachers all are great and very helpful if you should hit a problem or question.

A lot of participation in this class. Diana is a fabulous teacher and each weeks lesson contained a lot of useful wonderful information.

This is a terrific program. A really great way to learn and the interaction between classmates adds to the pleasure. It’s wonderful to be able to see everyone’s progress as they work through the classes and have the feedback from classmates as well as the teacher! I love DAA!

Diana has so many little tips and tricks, and gives us so many resources – I think I have to say I have loved it all.

DAA is amazing. Without DAA it would be very difficult to learn as much as I have learned, especially living in South Africa. Thank you Karen for providing a wonderful, wonderful web site.

Diana is a loving and very giving teacher and oh so supportive. I love that she made me stretch this time around by going out of my comfort zone. I learned so much and am building on the lessons every day. This was the best class I’ve taken so far.

I cannot say enough about DAA. It is such a wonderful place to learn and grow as a digital artist. The teachers and staff are first rate and second to none. I would recommend DAA to anyone interested in learning something new and fun.

Loved learning how to express creativity a bit further to add some pizzzaz to the end painting.

DAA has the most wonderful, caring and sharing teachers. Their classes are simply the BEST.

Diana is a superb instructor and teacher. So giving and I have loved every class with her and look forward to taking more classes in future.

I have done several other online classes with various other organizations, and I have to say that the DAA are the most professional, organized, and stress free out of all the classes I have ever done. I just love doing them and can’t wait for more. The teachers are wonderful and the lessons are very easy to download. I enjoyed the classes and have grown in leaps and bounds. Thank You Sooooooo Much DAA.

Diana has a very easy to follow methodical approach to painting portraits, whether it is pet painting or people portraits. I find her style works well for me. She uses great brushes, and her movies are thorough and to the point. I would gladly take future painting classes by Diana.
