Luci

“I am a watercolor beginner. I have always wanted to learn to paint with watercolors, specifically to paint dogs and other animals. I can not draw and have not considered myself artistic. When I found Rebecca’s tutorials, I discovered that thanks to her very detailed instructions and step by tep guidance, I have actually painted some very cute dogs that look like dogs! Rebecca’s tutorials are excellent and will help anyone who wishes to learn to paint with watercolors in a realistic manner.””

Ginger

“The online classes from Rebecca Rhodes are taking me on such an exciting adventure and are also taking my work to another level. The very first painting that I did, following her wonderful concise instructions allowed me to sit and smile at my finished painting. Her work is outstanding and her classes… well, I can’t say enough good things about them. Everything is explained so well and shown so clearly that I feel she’s sitting right there next to me. PLEASE take the time and visit her online school where you can watch the step-by-step tutorials in real time.”

Charlie

“I just wanted to express how really really REALLY happy I have found you, this course, this technique. I have been doing other courses, and some other you tube videos and it just didn’t click. Something was always off for me. But with this technique (even though I have much to learn) is like a ‘Free Willy’ experience! I am out in an ocean of possibility, I click!”
