“Wow! George Politis’s workshop was fantastic: the composition, George’s unified yet varied palette & range of textures are amazing! I’m still invigorated by his workshop – what amazing sessions!!! Please pass on my great appreciation for his superb instruction, demonstration & passion for the topic.”

“It’s hard to pick a favorite instructor when there are forty outstanding artists teaching on V.I.E.W (Virtual-Interactive-Escapade-Workshops) – certainly George Politis has got to be one of the top! Beautiful selection of recommended paints to explore, and he provides power points (so you can paint and not worry about notes), value studies, close up shots – he goes that extra mile in clear instruction. Did you know he was AWS and exhibited in London? One of the best watercolorists in the world and he teaches from his home in Greece.
Loved this workshop and look forward to participating in others in the future. Thank you”.

“I learned so much from George Politis! He is an excellent instructor – patient, very clear and detailed in his instructions and demonstration. We are so lucky to have this opportunity to study from such an accomplished artist. He is so generous with his knowledge.
Thank you Jackie for all the work that goes into the Zoom classes. I will be eternally grateful that we had this opportunity to study and participate with others from around the world. Who knew that the Covid Virus would bring something good into our lives and connect us through art!!! I hope that this internet avenue will still be available as an option as we hopefully go forward into a virus (contained) world”.
