I am by far not a creative person, or talented artist in anyway. Shannon was our instructor this night, and she was very fun and made it very easy to follow along. She gave great instructions, and was very encouraging to our group to be creative and not be worried about "messing up". I loved my painting at the end! I can't wait to do it again. The reason I deducted one star is the room is kind of long and I was at the back so it was hard to hear Shannon over the chit chat around me at times. Highly recommend!
