    I enjoyed your presentation at the recent salon. Unfortunately I can’t take this April workshop because I’ll be away for half the month but look forward to a similar experience at some later date.

    Hi Elizabeth—A friend and I, both illustrators, are interested in the class in Watercolor + Ink that you were going to teach at Watkins Community Ed, but I don’t see it on the CE website. Has it been cancelled? Would it make if you got two more students?

      Hi Barbara, Since Watkins handles registration for that class, I’m not sure whether or not it’s full. I would try calling the Community Education Department on Monday to find out if there’s any room. Good luck; hope to see you Tuesday night!
