I have taken Amy’s Sip and Paint class three times - once in her comfortable Des Moines studio, and twice online via Zoom. Each class has been fun, informative, and has guided me towards painting things I didn’t think I would be able to, as a beginner. Amy teaches students how to examine the elements of the image they are painting, and guides each class through methodical steps to creating their own interpretations of the image, all while maintaining a supportive, fun atmosphere and teaching basic painting techniques. I have a lot to learn still, but I’m amazed at what I’ve been able to paint so far under her guidance!

I’ve taken many classes from Amy. They are always fun, and I learn new techniques every time. She offers a variety of classes that appeal to a wide range of skill levels - beginners and those with experience. I enjoy the group setting as well – it makes for a relaxing environment to learn in. Highly recommend!!

We had a blast! And learned how to become REAL artists. Everyone had so much fun creating artwork---we each painted with Amys guidance and hilarious sense of humor.

I love love love these classes! They are fun but also she teaches me things I can take home and paint with as well! I have met several new friends there too!

Amy is such a great paint instructor - I loved my class with Amy! Highly recommend
