Testimonials

“Amanda is an extraordinary engaging teacher! She goes the extra mile. She’s very organized, stating the objectives clearly, she is able to explain compositions, techniques and demonstrations that are useful. In a class of 14 people, she was able to move around the room and assist everyone, at their different level of experience with their particular needs in a kind and low pressure environment. I am thrilled to study with her again.”

“If you love clouds, sunrises or landscapes, you have got to examine the artwork being done by Amanda Houston. I first saw her work at Penner Ash Vineyard.  White billowing clouds; early morning sunrises of orange, red and yellow; and landscapes of Oregon wine country offer a portfolio of oil and pastel work truly worthy of your time and review. I started with a single purchase and have since accumulated 8 pieces. Oh, and BTW, did I mention birds? Checkout her birds on copper. They are unbelievable! I think Amanda Houston is an Oregon treasure.”

“Amanda’s passion to profit class was the push I needed to really think about trying to make a biz out of my art - and some great material to put thought into action. Thanks for a great class!”
