More From My Students
"In a word, the workshop was “masterful.” But, I will go beyond just one word to express my deepest appreciation of your dedication to your craft. Whether the way you taught, emailed preparatory materials, painted, or critiqued, you exemplified the traits of a master. Thank you. I learned a lot and plan to take future workshops with you." - Lisa D.

Thank you so much for offering this workshop!" - Carole P.
"I really enjoyed Lana's workshop. Her process is amazing to watch. I love how she took our photos into Photoshop and quickly illustrated how to edit our paintings to make them more interesting." - Chrissey D.
