    This is an amazing class for beginners. Prior to first class, I had no confidence in drawing and I was very worried. Luckily, Raphael is very patient and encouraged me to continue drawing and trying. He sees positivity from whatever I drew and encourage me to modify little by little. It's a warm and friendly environment. I can seek for support when I need, and he will provide guidance based on each person's need. I thought I won't like charcoal course because it's only black and white, but after the second class, I started to understand and kind of saw the shapes that Raphael was emphasizing on. I really enjoyed the process and Raphael started from the basic, such as mark mapping, values, taking out colors with erasers, looking at the shape and how to be patient about taking the time to observe and draw. I was surprised that I can draw something and it really looks like a rose. In addition, Raphael also taught us how to appreciate artwork, which I always want to learn and I didn't expect that I can get the information in this class, definitely worth it! If you are considering taking any drawing class but scared of being judged, highly recommended this studio.

    Great instructor and my friends and I had a blast! We started the class with a lesson and then spent the rest of class working on a still life that Raphael set up for us. He was very helpful and kind in explaining how we could improve our drawings. Lots of fun chats and side stories to keep you entertained throughout the 2.5 hrs!
