Student Testimonials
“Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Winter Trees classes. You present such interesting content and teach in such an informative but relaxed style - mark of someone who is absolutely at home with their craft. I could happily repeat the classes I find them just so helpful.”
— Alex, Vancouver, B.C.
“Katharine is an excellent instructor, able to express aspects of drawing in a very direct and simple way. I felt that she was very available to the class and the course was designed in a perfectly comprehensive and thorough way.”
— Student at VBGA, Vancouver
“I enjoyed yesterday’s class immensely because I’ve been wanting to learn how to draw cones for the longest time. The techniques you taught made cone drawing so much more approachable. I now understand the importance in trying to view the subjects in a geometric perspective as a key starting point in drawing”
