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.

Kathy is a very inspiring, creative and positive instructor. Examples and assistance as needed, all given in the most gentle and positive way. We learned so much and look forward to future classes with her.
I really enjoyed this workshop and would encourage anyone interested in this medium to attend. Kathy is not only a talented artist but an excellent teacher, which is a rare combination.
Kathy laid out a very well planned weekend workshop for us. Her process was very knowledgeable and thought provoking. I look forward to attending future workshops with her and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone interested in pastels – beginner and advanced. She introduced us to new materials and strategies. The freebies were great!
I had a wonderful time learning from you Kathy. You are very patient and I appreciated that I was not rushed to get onto the next step until I was completely satisfied with what I had done. It was a fun and informative class and I will be looking forward to doing another.
Kathy was a patient, knowledgeable instructor. She made me feel at ease with her instruction, helpful tips and guidance. She took time at the beginning of the workshop to teach us basic techniques and have us practice before creating our own piece. I would highly recommend her workshops.
I had an enjoyable evening with friends learning the art of pastels. Kathy you are a great and patient teacher. I will be looking to take more classes and learning more.
I enjoyed learning about drawing with pastels in a relaxed and friendly setting. Thank you Kathy for sharing your creative talents and knowledge and I look forward to attending more classes.
Our workshop was attended by mostly everyone not having any experience in pastels. Everyone’s picture turned out beautiful because of Kathy’s excellent teaching methods, her exceptional talents as an artist and her genuine interest in other people. I found Kathy to be very knowledgeable and organized. It was a pleasure to meet you Kathy and I look forward to attending more classes with you.
