“Really great class and timely for life during COVID. I had been in a COVID funk and didn’t feel creative. The class combination of Suda House and the book used for the class got me motivated to photograph the flowers in my house. Suda provided valuable feedback during each sharing of our images, and then provided additional comments a follow-up email. The Zoom format did not detract from the class at all. The class got me out of my COVID funk.”

WATERCOLOR FOR EVERYBODY—ONLINE

“At first, I thought a Zoom art class would not be for me, but now, after taking one thru the Athenaeum, I find—not only do I love the fact that I don’t have to drive in traffic, find a parking space, and tote all sorts of art supplies—but the extra time I have not traveling gives me more time to play around with my art supplies! Also, if the chance for me to travel comes up again, I can STILL attend a Zoom class, no matter where I may be.”
