TESTIMONIAL

The Continuous LIne Urban Sketch Oaxaca workshop with Meagan was lots of fun. Meagan is a very engaging workshop organizer and leader and she is careful to include cultural information to make it even more meaningful. One aspect I really appreciated was Meagan's attention to the energy level of the class and her willingness to be flexible! Meagan's thoughtfulness reached all aspects of the workshops from hints on where to shop for souvenirs to the best places to eat authentic Oaxacan meals--high-end and street-wise! The hotel was modest but perfectly situated in the city. We were able to move about individually, in small groups, and as a class as was needed. I thought it was perfect! Oh, I almost forgot. Meagan is a terrifically positive person and made us all feel incredibly successful with our continuous line sketching!

Hola Meagan I would just like to tell you again how differently and much improved I feel about my art after your seminar. I’m much less critical and while I don’t think I’ll ever be a fabulous artist I enjoy the process and it has encouraged me to do some thing every single day. I thank you again for the wonderful experience and for opening my eyes to art

Meagan’s passion for drawing is infectious! To work with her is to do so in a joyful and nonjudgmental atmosphere that brings out the best in all of, no matter at what level we are

I didn't just enjoy the CLUSK CDMX I was overjoyed. I was. The days were filled with happy, laughing cool artists learning to stretch our skill levels. We learned and practiced sketching together all the while experiencing the best of Mexico City's cultural offerings and history. We ate (and sketched) at local food faves and historic faves and had a personally curated, by Meagan, farewell dinner we'll never forget. Mexico City inspires awe. Meagan's joyful, caring spirit inspires her students to see it and sketch it.

This workshop integrated sketching with many other cultural aspects, which is what made it very appealing and fun. Meagan coordinated the many elements with enthusiasm and sensitivity to participants needs and interests. A wonderful experience in a vibrant city.

I am a living testimonial soul that benefited a lot from Meagan, her Continuous Line inspiration and the Community of Continuous Liners. Being one of those people is such an honor for me , I've always wanted to be a sketcher. Love you Meagan and all that you do!

Establishing a continuous line practice with Meagan Burns has definitely broadened and developed my artistic skill set. The process has not only increased my self-confidence in drawing and painting- it has also made me a more CURIOUS person! I see the world differently now! Meagan is one of the most inspirational teachers/mentors I’ve ever had. And, it has been so much fun establishing an on-line community of friends. Yea for CL!!! Yea for Meagan!!!

I’ve been doing continuous line drawing with Meagan Burns for the past year. Her no-stress approach has reignited my love of ink on paper and has even had a positive impact on my oil and acrylic painting practice. A great way to send your inner critic packing. Bravo, Meagan and Continuous Line Storytelling!

Over 20 years ago I was drawing and painting as part of my way of making a living, doing commercial work, commissions, etc. Then one day I did a "bad painting" and lost my inner fire and drive to draw and paint. In the intervening years I've forced myself to do the odd commission, forced myself to try and 'get back into it' even did a few drawing challenges very diligently, but I had lost that desire to create art and despaired of ever recapturing it. Then in January, I discovered urban sketching and your continuous line practice. Well, these have reignited what was a struggling little feeble ember, and since I jumped on board your CL Facebook page earlier this month, I am riding a wave of creativity! I have the deepest heartfelt gratitude to you. You've given me the m magic key that has unlocked a part of me that had lain dormant for many, many year-end which I feared I'd never enjoy again. I intend to stick with you and your incredible vibe for as long as you can be bothered to share your enthusiasm with us. You are a very special lady, and such damn good fun!

Thank you for generous time in helping many artists find a simple access to creativity that helps loosening up tension and a degree of commitment to cause creative juices to flow. Your sessions help me a lot even though I still lack steadfast discipline. Your sessions inspire and allow me start over and over again. Overall it makes me happy. It also makes me happy to see the other artiste’s products. Kudos a todos!

This was more than an art workshop. Meagan brought her knowledge of Mexico and its people to us in a way I will not soon if ever forget. From the very first moment she made us feel like we were special friends and went out of her way to take care of everyone's needs."
