  • 4/5 from Maggie Hayes, attended Dec 2025: I enjoyed the class overall, it had a very casual atmosphere. Even though it was a lesson, I didn't feel intimidated, especially since I don't have a lot of experience painting realism. I learned new artistic skills and felt more bonded with the person I attended with.

Creating your own painting was a satisfying experience and would love to do it again.
