“ I recently took a workshop with Mattie Ree Neal called The Fundamentals. As a seasoned painter you may wonder why I’d take a class with this theme. I believe painting is all about the fundamentals; a beginner and professional are practicing the same principals just at different intensities. Mattie is able to tailor that info to each individual’s different needs. She put together informative lectures, demos, and critiques to illustrate those principals pulling from the past and current masters. Her knowledge and painting maturity are well beyond her years and I got much out of the time spent with her. I highly recommend taking her workshop”
