Hi Monique: Just wanted to say a big thanks for your great art classes. I painted a number of pieces using your landscape and seascape courses. I had them up for sale at our guild art sale and just about all of them sold! They were a hit. I will continue to use your courses and paint some more. I enjoy that style and find it so relaxing to do. Thanks again.
Jan Crook
Monique Carr's classes are simple, straightforward and honest. She guides you gently and warmly through every step of the way and allows you to find your very own style through the art process, which was my experience. What the course promises, it delivers. It's worth every penny, you will definitely enjoy this course with Monique! Go for it, beginner or advanced, whatever level, you will come out of the course richer!
Suchitra Lata
Am so enjoying the water reflections course and am really excited to see the material with the new courses. I feel like you’re giving me the key to a whole new world of possibilities with endless creative inspiration. I am so enjoying the practice sessions - they’re so liberating and Monique, you really are inspiring.”
Jo Wilson
Monique, this has been so much fun and I learned so much. I don’t want it to be over. I’m going to take another one of your online classes.
Judy Avrett
Monique, thank you! I was greatly influenced by your work and your online courses, and even though I have to go back through them again and actually do more of the paintings, you really have been an inspiration and influence.
Laura Jones
Monique, you are an inspiration to me. I walked away from painting for over a year until I signed up for your oil and cold wax class, now I paint everyday at least five paintings. Painting is all about having fun and enjoying what comes natural instead of being regimented, and that is what you have done for me. Thank You.
Diana Packard
Monique, thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your online courses. It is greatly appreciated.
