• Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting

  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.

• Drawing and Painting Techniques: Charcoal

  Reviewed by Eric G. on 10/18/2024
  I came to this class a serious hobbyist photographer who was interested in learning the skill of drawing with charcoal. I was aware that I have never demonstrated any talent in drawing. So I came into this class with a fairly negative attitude and few expectations. The instructor for the Drawing and Painting Techniques, in this using, exclusively, charcoal, was outstanding. He showed students that they actually could draw using techniques that anyone can learn. Instruction was mostly individual and was always, without exception, helpful. At the end of the third class my drawing far exceeded my expectations. Most importantly, I have learned the basics of askill that I can practice moving forward. This class was a personal eye-opener for me. I came out with a sense that I was able to draw in ways that were personally satisfying. This is the second drawing class I have taken in my life. This was one was, by far, the most effective in learning techniques that gave me some confidence that this is not only something I was able to do, but I could derive real enjoyment from it.

  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!

  this is such a lovely experience, in an intimate environment, with a gentleman artist that one rarely finds these days. the instruction is delivered with a mix of technical and historical context, and you feel like you're in a renaissance workshop of old. rafael is a passionate and professional teacher and a great guy. do yourself a favor and take a course with him!

  I loved the class, the teacher Andl keeps the class interesting and she doesn't push students to do her way, because she wants to see how much we know, our preferences, then later on she gives some advices how to improve our paintings.

  The instructor was very patient with me. She was an elderly woman was so passionate about the Japanese painting class. I love how she spoke about Japan where she is from. I asked her a question about Japanese stamp that she put onto my drawing & she explained that the meaning meant happy. I enjoyed this course very much.
