"I continue to be amazed at what a teacher you are for novice or accomplished artist. I simply didn't anticipate that the door would open so wide or that it would be so easy for me to rush right through it!

- Ruth Solie

"We found Mark to be an extraordinary teacher last year! He welcomes both those seeking to learn the basics of painting watercolor outdoors, as well as those who have years of experience."
- Mary Swalla Holmes, Executive Director, Oberholtzer Foundation

"Most importantly, Mark has taught me specific techniques to improve my artwork, while encouraging me to develop and understand my own style. I've been able to apply these techniques in other forms of art, as well. Because of his class, I have a stronger appreciation for botanical art, and have more confidence in my own work."
- Emily Metcalf, student
