I like to consider myself to be crafty but at a beginner level with a ton of enthusiasm. April’s class was perfect for me. She shows and explains everything in very thoughtful detail so you completely understand the priming and painting method. You can watch the videos whenever YOU want so there is no time pressure. And she has a lovely way about her. Plus you can see what projects your other “classmates” are working on which is fun.
Susan K - NJApril’s course was terrific! It was so personal, as if we were all sitting in the room together. She faced real life issues just as we all do and was able to teach us how to make our piece perfect every time. I still refer back to her videos for tips when painting. The course is definitely a must do if you are a furniture painter.
Kelli E - TNI enjoyed taking April’s class very much. It was super easy to follow along with and because we could look back and view the videos again, it was very convenient to work at your own pace. I had wanted to learn the basics of furniture painting for quite a while now and would recommend April’s tutorial to anyone else who had that same desire.
Lacey B - WAHow to Paint Furniture Like a Pro was a great inexpensive tutorial. I learned through April’s class that taking a couple of extra steps will produce professional results. Her weekly videos allows you time to learn the technique and try it on your piece.
Karen H - KYI’ve been painting very generically but then I saw April’s Facebook page and saw how a piece of old nasty furniture could be reformed into the most beautiful piece you own.
I was not skeptical at all when I saw April was having an online class. I joined right away and I’m so glad I did. The main thing I learned in the process was just that… Make sure you go through the process!! Making sure you go through all the steps to a beautiful piece that you will love forever and you will be so proud to show the before and after pics and say yes ma’am, I did that!! ❤️
