Light bulbs…

Nancy

One of the most singular important presentations Pauline has produced. The light bulbs were going off in my head about how I can do me, what is important to me and how to extrapolate these things from the images and colors that I love. You have an incredible intellect and gift of teaching Pauline. You are so enthusiastic and gracious too.

Can't Wait

Feeling light

Jan

I sat back and let the Abstraction Landscape Presentation wash over me. It was wonderful ! I felt as if a huge weight was lifted from me when I got into the programme and you didn’t disappoint Pauline. Absolutely love your presentations!

Super helpful

Jackie

This was such a helpful presentation! Using these tools is a game-changer. I am always collecting colours I like in the landscape but then translating them into actual paint mixes has been a challenge. This is going to be so helpful, thank you Pauline!

Deep dive

Thanks so much for this Pauline! One question,… do you ever sleep? The depth and breadth of your artistic investigations are amazing.

Taking the leap

Rena

A personal thank you to the artists who suggested Pauline cover this topic! This presentation was so helpful! I have thousands of beautiful and inspiring landscape photos waiting to guide me through an abstract painting. Now I have a better idea on how to take that leap!
