I think that Polly is such a fine artist and an outstanding teacher.
It is our loss in Austin that she decided to move out of state. I am so happy that I am able to continue with her lessons online.
She makes any type of painting fun and educational.
Thanks Polly for a great lesson in chalk pastels.

Polly is the best art teacher I have ever had. I have been taking classes with her for the past 6 months and I really love her technical approach. She covers three completely different ways to draw, color, and paint with pastels in this lesson. Well worth it!
