• 5/5 from Sandra Otoole, attended May 2026: This was my 6th class with Natasha and as always a fantastic experience. Natasha is such a great teacher - I am always amazed at how with a couple of strokes she can transform a painting that wasn’t working. I’m learning how to push more complex works past the “ugly” phase. This time I finished a large piece I started last class and very happy with the result. I will be back for class 7 for sure. My two friends had a great time too and produced beautiful works. The studio space is gorgeous too.

Everyone in our class left with a great little painting and motivated to keep painting with oil paints. The venue is perfect for this intimate class.

• 5/5 from Elina Shaiukova, attended Aug 2025: Beautiful space and excellent central location. I loved this class. The teacher was so friendly, and provided guidance and support when needed ️
• 5/5 from Anne Cleary, attended Aug 2025: What a great day! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this class. Natasha is an excellent teacher, and person, and I learnt so much about oil painting. Something I've avoided because of all the cleaning up drama. Now I know it's as easy as using acrylic paints but with all the richness of oils. One question Natasha - once my painting is dry, should I varnish it or leave well alone? Thanks again for a wonderful day, and I will be back. Anne
• 5/5 from Marina Maier, attended Aug 2025: Natasha is a very encouraging, skilled and knowledgeable teacher. It is amazing to learn and see what you can achieve in 6 hours with her guidance and help. There were different still life objects we could choose to paint and it was a perfect step by step process using non-toxic oil paint. Would anyone recommend who wants to a full painting experience that you can leverage on at home.
