Every class I have taken is so in depth and builds together in a cohesive whole. This class is so wonderful because of Karen sharing her processes on combining Corel Painter Software plus with her Art Degree and software knowledge I believe that not only is the Seascapes class a special class but all of Karen's other classes as well. I highly recommend it and all the classes offered.

Living in a landlocked area of the USA I have a love for the ocean and when this Master Class came available I was so excited. Having taken the class I wasn't disappointed, Karen in her usual style not only provided in detail needed information on painting seascapes, she also provided excellent brushes. Karen gives valuable feedback and is eager to answer questions to enable her students to complete a seascape painting.
