    Good part: feedback at the end Class was basically watching instructor paint. It moved to fast and was not suitable for a beginner. Class ended in 55 minutes. Why rush? Reference photo should have been provided prior to course. Class was more of a introduction to the instructor and her art program . Overall: I think instructor is knowledgeable about watercolors as an artist.

    Instructor is very knowledgeable. It would be helpful to provide some more detailed information prior to the class, such as provide your own landscape photo to use or have a copy of the one the instructor will use. Perhaps having the opportunity to sketch it out ahead of time would allow for more time to paint and not feel so rushed.

    Worth the $25 dollars to make me break out and buy some supplies and have an hour of creating. Our instructor was helpful and very kind. I enjoyed the discussion she had with each "artist" before the end of our classes. I enjoyed seeing their work and hearing a little bit about how they went about it. The work itself was very free form and abstract. More an experimentation in using the watercolors and how they work with the water on the paper and with each other.. But, experimentation without pressure is a great way to start! I would like to take another class in the future.

    A fun hour spend looking at how to use everyday items - from salt to soap- to change the look and texture of watercolor paintings. Instructor was experimenting along with students in this inaugural class. I really like the way Kiya encourages class to try different things and be open to experimenting creatively. I wish the class had been longer. I would have like to know more about some of the techniques and some of the effects needed additional time to dry. But overall, a relaxing and informative way to learn new ideas.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Kiya was very astute and thoughtful with her individual comments at the end of the session. The only thing keeping it from a 5th star is something none of us can do anything about: having to experience the class virtually because of the pandemic. It would have been so helpful to have Kiya walking around as we worked to give tailored advice on the wet-on-wet technique, e.g., how much water we were using, was our paper too dry, etc. Regardless, I am happy to have had the virtual experience rather than none at all and would certainly take another virtual class until in-person options return. Thanks, Kiya!

    Kiya was very thoughtful asking each class member about themselves and what they expected. She then told us a little about herself and her artistic interests. This was my second class having begun with Jade Scarlett's landscape class. I found that challenging but very enjoyable. I thought that a beginning class would provide me with more techniques to use in the future. My problem with Kiya's class was that I could not see what she was demonstrating very well. Her zoom screen was the same size as all of the other screens and so was too small, to see clearly, compared to the size of the screen Jade used. This may have been my fault because I am not very tech savvy. I should have asked Kiya if I was supposed to do something to make her screen larger. I know I would have gotten more out of the class if I could have seen Kiya's demonstrations more clearly

    I am a true beginner to watercolor, and Kiya Nicole's class was the perfect introduction. I have wanted to learn watercolor painting for years but was always a little too intimidated by other courses I saw offered. Kiya Nicole's focus on experimentation and her ability to describe what she's doing in a way we could emulate it made watercolor painting feel very approachable and relaxing. Too, I was very appreciative of her choice in the materials we needed for class because her suggestions were a good balance of quality and affordability. I enjoyed the class so much, in fact, that I signed up to take it a second time just to be able to pick up on some of the nuances she shared that I wasn't able to explore the first time. Highly recommend!

    The class was a great introduction to watercolor painting. Kiya Nicole was thorough in her explanations of technique and direction on application to create original designs.

    Kiya was amazing... she took a rather intimidating process and broke it down so someone like me (with no formal art training) was comfortable to engage with foreign concepts! And she was so patient, checked on us regularly to see if we were tracking with her, gave further clarification and feedback that drew me in rather than making me self conscious. I plan to take more classes using this forum. Thank you for adjusting your classes so they are accessible during this time of quarantine.

    The class was well done and as a complete beginner, it gave me the knowledge to start enjoying the painting process. I would have liked it to be 90 minutes as opposed to 60, especially because it was a full class so after all the questions were asked, it seemed a little rushed at the end.

    This was a great class. I am not an artist although I wish that I were. The class was very 'zen'. Watercolors are very soothing especially during these challenging times. It was exactly what I needed. The instructor Kiya Nicole was very engaging and very talented too.

    Class was terrific ! I am a first time beginner, techniques are important and Kiya taught techniques with clarity and lots of patience for questions. There were people in the class with varying degrees of experience and it seems it worked very well. Looking forward to more classes!

    I very much enjoyed the class and came away with several helpful tips to improve landscape sketching. I especially liked the instruction about perspective and shading based on the chosen lighting on the landscape. The instructor was very calm and patient with the group and took time to answer any questions and offer suggestions to improve portions of a sketch. Specifically for me she helped me understand why the islands I had drawn in a lake really looked more like clouds. I followed her advice and they improved dramatically. I will definitely return for a future class. Thank you. James

    We had some technical difficulties (video quality, disconnections) but overall they were resolved quickly and it was fun. It's pretty fast paced for a beginner class because you only have an hour. I sort of felt like I didn't get any better at drawing because there was limited time to do studies and practice the few techniques shown. However the instructor Kiya was very pleasant and easy to follow. In any case it was a good quarantine activity and I'm glad I did it.
