"When
I first started working with Fern Bass, my drawing skill hadn’t
even reached the point of stick-figures. After ten months of lessons
with Fern, my drawing had developed so thoroughly that I was accepted
into some of the country’s best art colleges. Without Fern,
my portfolio would not have been competitive with other students
who likely had years of art classes behind them. >From contour
line drawing to figure drawing to abstract still lifes, I became
a more diverse and confident artist in less than a year. Her ability
to quickly yet completely establish an artistic foundation for
a beginner and work to help an advanced artist clarify their vision
makes her an indispensable resource to all artists."
