    We never finished the last three sessions because the studios shut down due to Coronavirus threat. Haven't heard from them since.

    Learning to draw, and now paint, at The Art Studio New York has been the most positive, encouraging experience. Our teacher, Jake, has a way of turning the most difficult, frustrating experience around. And teaching you to be patient as you learn and your skills develop. I’m so happy here!

Question from REBECCA W.
Hi. There are two beginner classes offered (Beginner Painting and Beginner's Drawing & Painting). Which one should I consider? I want to paint on canvas but do I also need drawing technics to start with painting? Thank you!
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! The Drawing and Painting Course would start with drawing assignments with graphite, charcoal, and pastel for the first half of the session before moving onto an acrylic painting. With the beginner's painting course, you and other students would be introduced to acrylic painting the first course of the session and continue with that same medium.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Lastly, with the beginner's drawing and painting course, once the drawing portion of the class is complete, students are able to choose whether they'd like to continue with drawing or if they would like to advance onto painting.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
If you feel more comfortable starting with learning to draw before learning to paint, they would recommend the beginner's drawing & painting course. They've had a number of beginner students jump right into painting without taking a drawing course, and they've had a number of beginner's students take the beginner's drawing and painting course.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Since the mission at The Art Studio NY is to create a relaxing, non-judgmental and creative experience, they want their students to be happy and comfortable above all else. Everyone's comfort level varies, so they recommend whichever course you'd be more comfortable taking!
