  1. Thank you for an excellent workshop. Your instructions were very clear. Your extensive preparation was evident.

  2. I am so thankful that Kathy agreed to come out to the Walden Art Club and teach a two day workshop! We had a wonderful weekend. I learned a lot about pastels and papers.I had no experience with this medium! I was so impressed with all the treats and samples she had for us. We were able to try many different brands of pastels,papers and blenders. I even won a door prize of a package of sample pastel papers that was donated by Dakota Art Pastels (thank you Dakota!) Also thanks to the WAC for hosting the workshop! And most of all thank you Kathy Dolan for sharing all of your knowledge and expertise in this workshop.
