If you want to start creating composites but don’t know where to begin, or if you already make them but feel like something is always off, this is definitely the class you need. Most tutorials are “how I made THIS composite,” and while that can be helpful, Karen’s genius is being able to demonstrate how to make ANY composite. Having her there “in person” to guide me through the process was a dream come true. I learned many overall approaches to improving my work, and countless tips and tricks along the way. Being able to work through my project week by week along with the constant guidance and feedback really solidified the knowledge. What a fantastic and rewarding experience.

Karen is an excellent teacher, and her Composite Masterclass takes online learning to a whole new level. It combines the best parts of both an online class and an in-person workshop. Being able to work through a major composite project methodically over 8 weeks, and ask for and receive help when you run into problems, has been fantastic. Those eight weeks flew by and not only have I refined my skills in Photoshop, but I've also gained valuable experience planning and executing a large scale project. A fabulous class and well worth the investment!
