Comments
I appreciate the friendly environment of the studio and the class.
Loved every minute of it even when frustrated with my own progress.
Astonished by what I produced in such a short time. Wonderful experience.
Have been wanting to get back to creating art for many years! Am so glad I found The Art Studio NY!
I had never picked up a paint brush or painted before this class. I was always encouraged and always given whatever help I needed.
I really looked forward to coming every Thursday night. Thank you for the great experience!
Thank you for the opportunity to start painting without any limits. Thank you, Sara, for teaching difficult things with a very easy way.
I liked that Isaac taught us how to draw before putting paint to paper. I had not experienced this with a class I had taken prior to this one.
Great teaching and personalized attention.
I looked forward to class every week. Just learning by doing and having such fun!
Time to restart something I love. Good reviews. Easy to get to. Affordable- had supplies ready. Jackie was very gracious and supportive.
Love it! Have signed up for another class.
I liked that we were all able to pick a picture that we wanted to paint.
My painting wouldn’t be what it is without Sarah. I hope to be back in the Spring.
Took acrylic workshop with family, they loved the studio and Isaac as well!
Warm, inviting environment. Office staff always helpful. And instructors top-notch.
Isaac is excellent.
Excellent! Thank you!
My favorite part was learning new techniques and improving on others. I never used pastels before or charcoal so it was fun to learn this and also great to improve on mydrawing and painting skills.
Helpful. Calming. No complaints.
Great fun. Loved seeing my painting come to life.
Offered time to myself/time to be creative. Close to me and reasonably priced.
Good location and price.
I actually painted my first painting! I have a new confidence!
Chris is a truly wonderful teacher. Patient, understanding, encouraging, extremely knowledgeable. Signed up to take Fear-Free Drawing again.
Fabulous! Lots of fun and the instructor was great! His way of instructing was great cause we both stink at art… we did a back ground and foreground of Manhattan.
