Lucy’s recent landscape painting workshop gave me a strong foundation for my success. The emphasis on value shapes for composition brought so much clarity for defining landscape space. This is invaluable. I had a big aha moment after I applied the lesson about “edges” to my painting; suddenly I saw things come together. Lucy’s passion for helping her students is clearly evident and I experienced that first hand. The organization of teaching the painting process from start to finish was strengthened by having three consecutive days to solidly grasp the important concepts Lucy provided to us students. Thank you!

Lucy Barber has a talent that not every skilled artist can claim — she is a born teacher, with the ability not only to communicate complex aesthetic concepts, but to inspire others to reach deep and find their own personal artistic expressions. Art is a personal language, yet Lucy is able to understand the aspirations of others and transform her own formidable talent into something that every student can readily apprehend and emulate. Brava, Lucy!

"Lucy is a very intuitive, gentle, and thoughtful teacher. In a class with students at different levels, she was flexible enough to meet everyone's needs in an encouraging, and unobtrusive way. She expresses herself very artistically and visually, allowing broad interpretation rather than dogmatic instruction. She was constantly available with valuable help, yet never disruptive to my painting experience. She shares her considerable talent generously. I came away with renewed enthusiasm for painting."
