Olivia is a lovely teacher and her classes are always easy to follow along with clear instructions and with Olivia painting the same project you can see exactly what to do. I have attended 5-6 of her classes this year and have always enjoyed them and always really liked my completed artwork.

I wanted to try painting people for the first time, and I thought it'd be nice to paint them dancing. I told a friend and she gave me a promotional picture of Expedition 33. This was the second attempt at painting people.This comes from the tutorial part of the game, and I will say no more. Sad opening.

Title or Location: The Murchison
It seemed like a gentle stream, from my vantage point, posing a profound question, and inviting me to reflect on my presence as the sunlight danced across its surface beneath the cloud cover. The Murchison, actually a powerful force, being the second largest river in Western Australia , flowed beneath, through the sandstone cliffs carving its way into the Indian Ocean, a truly uplifting sight and feeling, I would behold only later. Although recapturing its atmosphere can be elusive, painting
