I was looking for a beginner watercolor class so this was perfect!  Eli is a great, enthusiastic, positive teacher.  He has a supportive, encouraging way of helping students and was very attentive to each student. 

 

I thought it might be fun to take a watercolor class.  Coming in as a beginner, I feel like I got a good grounding in the basics and that the exercises were just the right difficulty.
