Kateryna is an amazing teacher

Always an amazing class! Today was the first class of the bird collection class. Amazing. Kateryna teaches how we can take our art to the next level by selecting our own colours and submitting our finished projects. She encourages with gentle suggestions when we ask. I have learned so much from taking many of her courses and highly suggest the practice pages! Can't wait to see what comes next!

Sonja N., CA
More Than Just Copying a Picture

What I liked most was understanding why Kateryna was doing things a certain way. She explains the strokes, where the elements go and how the composition works. I felt like I was actually learning Petrykivka, not just copying one painting.
