This was such a thorough quick crash course in seeing color, shape, line, surface and all the important aspects of the color wheel. Very informative and really a very pleasant and valuable experience.

Excellent. A fun and very informative morning!
COMMENT FROM RECENT 2 MAN SHOW
I saw your and Don's show at Votta Hall a few weeks ago. They moved my Summer 1 drawing class from Mt. Holly Center to the Mount Laurel campus so I went to see the show after my class.
In Don's work I liked the softness and the subtlety of the background of aerosol paint which evoked a landscape or topography that is juxtaposed to the more linear elements that seem to live on the surface of the picture plane. Even the linear elements seemed to weave in and out of space as well as overlap.

My Host Instructor Don Stephens was excellent at explaining complex concepts in drawing. 5 stars!!
Don Stephens the instructor for my Urban Landscape session explained things well and had a great personality.
Completed a drawing class with Don. I found the class very helpful, great chance to learn both from group discussions and individually.
Don is very knowledgeable
and provide exposure to several kinds of pencil strokes and styles..
Thank you
Don teaches his impressive artistic skills while guiding students during their practice. He infuses humor and great enthusiasm throughout each lesson. I learned a lot in art camp. Thanks, Don!
No one can ever say that Don doesn’t know what he’s teaching because he does! He’s fabulous. I love when Don critics my work and shows me what to “see”.

Dons teaching style was very enjoyable. The class flew by and I can't wait to take it again! He made me feel like I could take on any painting project I wanted and complete it!
