    A master class in still life. Especially difficult subjects like glass, bread and cheese. Along with the excellent painting tips Nolan also reminds you not to get too caught up in the details, which I struggle with. It is difficult to find classes where instruction is given in a way that doesn’t intimidate you and yet directs you toward the goal. Classes are well-planned, appropriate for time and video/audio technology is spot on.
