Student Testimonials:
“Tina! Your previous workshop with East Oaks was so incredibly helpful and ever since then so much has clicked into place surrounding colour and the logic behind my palette (I also can't live without colour studies now, I can never go back, haha). Ever since then my painting skills and practise have improved leaps and bounds as you had such a great way of explaining the logic behind your decisions as you worked. So excited to try this new workshop and continue the learning. As someone who is self-taught and didn't pursue art school I can't stress how valuable these resources are. Again, thank you for sharing and being part of my journey as a painter. Can't wait to see what beautiful work you create next.”
-Amber G.
“Recently I purchased the recorded version of @tinafigartist’s workshop Painting with Softness and Atmosphere, and this is my painting!
Tina did such an amazing job with this workshop…!!
I loved that she offered different “tiers” of attendance with different prices—that made it so accessible for me. I was planing to just watch and maybe practice some techniques as the workshop went on, but the Tina really drew me in and I ended up doing my the color study and painting!”-Keri C.
“Hi Tina! I recently bought your 3 day workshop and I love it so much, I’ve been on a learning period and have been taking workshops with some artists but their techniques or processes don’t seem to fit me for one reason or another. Yours is the first one that I can truly understand, you are great at teaching and also have such a methodical process, so I wanted to thank you for that.”
