"Tony Warrens approach to teaching watercolor painting is based on understanding fundamental techniques. What looks to be complicated and difficult is reduced to simple, easy to use steps. The results produce vibrant and clean colors, not the muddy overworked stuff I tend to produce. How refreshing it is to have things explained."

"Tony Warrens ability to teach is expansive and always amazing. He is an accomplished master in many different media, providng a stunning finish to any endeavor. His desire to create is contagious; coming away from a class leaves joy and an always better appreciation and understanding of watercolor."

"Having the luxury of 5 days in a workshop with fewer than 10 people was rare, and doing it with a teacher of Tony Warren's skills, experience and passion was unique. My goals were easily met by the end of the week. I was staying up late at night to paint more after class!"

Hugh McKinnon, 2017 Petoskey, MI

​

"Learned to simplify compositions. Learned a lot by observing and having Tony critique my own paintings in class. Center of interest! Forget small brushes." 

Lynn Cowles, 2017 Petoskey, MI

​

"Excellent class. Felt the instructor truly wanted us to learn and improve. Have never had such attention or had such an enthusiastic instructor. Have learned more in this workshop than any other I have attended. Looking forward to your teaching in Mission Texas at Hildagp Watercolor Society in 2020."                                                                                           Joyce Capen, 2017 Petoskey, MI

​

"Format is great. I learn from the demonstrations - even when you don't talk. A lot of it is visual for me. Individual critique is valuable."                                                      Jim Shrier, 2017 Petoskey, MI

​

"Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and techniques. My 'take aways' are center of interest - close in on it, directional thrust, sharp edges and duller in the background."

Elain Smiley, 2017 Petoskey, MI

Bottom line, Tony, is that you have a gifted talent, and your work has and will continue to have a profound positive emotional impact on anyone who is lucky enough to be on the receiving end."                                                             Vince C. Bandurski, 2001, Grand Blanc, MI

During his tenure at CREATIVE CORNER, he has developed and maintained a serious following of watercolor artists, who think he is the greatest.
