Watercolor Painting for Total Beginners
This was an incredibly fun and helpful class. My previous teacher experiences learning watercolor made me not enjoy it as I didn’t understand the process correctly. This class was entirely different, with the instructor Anna Levy being engaging, funny, informative and allowed me to finally understand the art of watercolor while having a relaxing experience at the same time. -

Watercolor Painting (Beginner/Intermediate)
This watercolor class was a revelation—beautifully structured, thoughtfully paced, and led by an inspiring instructor, Allison, who made even the most complex techniques feel within reach. As someone who had never touched watercolor before, I left my first year not only confident but with a piece accepted into an art show—proof of just how transformative and empowering this class truly is. -
Watercolor Techniques
Mark is very kind and gives direction well. His examples are clear and three hours of a perfect amount of time to work and not feel rushed. He also can be specific with his suggestions and answered questions patiently. I love kind of fast but will would take his class again if I don’t find another stimulating class nearby. I kind of wish it started earlier, though. -

Watercolor for Relaxation
This class (watercolor) was fabulous. The studio is cozy and nostalgic. Melisse is so fun, knowledgeable, and really set the right tone for what an art class should be. If you are looking for a step by step structured class, this might not be for you. Melisse provided an artist of inspiration and technique demo's, but really encouraged us to get lost in whatever felt right for us. That is what art is all about! She even gave us permission to use any supplies or mediums we saw around the room. Thank you, Melisse! I look forward to returning. -
