Makes learning fun!
I learned more from Varvara Harmon's watercolor class than I did from any college art course. She so clearly and skillfully demonstrates techniques step by step, generously sharing her knowledge, and makes learning fun.

Every class is an adventure
I have learned so much in your class including variety painting techniques, principles of composition, mixing color, learning to see light and shade and many aspects of painting. Every class is an adventure and time flies.

The best to teach you and guide you ...
Varvara is just wonderful !!! Young, energizing, motivational and inspirational, a wonderful teacher and master!
Varvara is very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to share as much as possible, even some “secrets” discovered after her so many year of working in this field. She told us and demonstrated to us all the steps required to create a watercolor, from preparing the paper to the way we layer the watercolors, and also the different techniques that can be used to obtain the desired results.
So if you want to learn more art and painting, Varvara is the best to teach you and guide you on this path. Do not hesitate at all, as you will not regret your decision. You cannot know what you can do, until you try it.

Teaches by example
I like the way Varvara teaches by example. Students watch her examples of the technique she is teaching, students then work independently. A Fun and relaxing experience!

Assist artist reach their full potential ...
Varvara’s talent was immediately obvious when I first saw her paintings. As time went on, I saw that she had amazing, multi-dimensional talent and every example of her work was done with exceptional artistic perfection. She is not only extremely creative, she has an innate desire to assist artist reach their full potential regardless their age. She has very good people skills, which are revealed as she persistently searches for ways to teach a painting concept so that it can be grasped by all her students.
She sets personal objectives for herself without room for failure and that philosophy carries over as she teaches. She assumes her students have similar objectives and she is not satisfied until a student can show they understand and appreciate the importance and value of the lesson assignment.

Learn many techniques
The painting classes were not only the way to learn many techniques about painting from talented artist, but they were also a time to dive in the world of color and beauty, and the thrill about the end result of the creative process.

ABSOLUTE BEST painting workshop ...
I became familiar with Varvara’s work several years ago when my husband and I visited a local gallery and greatly admired her painting. Ultimately, we purchased an original watercolor of hers and it hangs in our vacation home. I e-mailed her about the possibility of doing workshops. Happily, she e-mailed me back with the opportunity to participate in what was the ABSOLUTE BEST painting workshop I have ever taken! Varvara has not only the ability to execute an exquisite painting, but also the unique ability to communicate and share her knowledge. All this, along with her availability to her students long after her workshops as a consult is invaluable. I highly recommend Varvara as a teacher and mentor. I will definitely continue to participate in any workshop she has because the amount of knowledge she has to offer is immeasurable.
