Beginner's Drawing in Color: Colored Pencil
It was a great beginning class to colored pencil. It started on time & gave good information. I think Molly did a great job giving several different examples of colored pencil & how to start it. -
Fear-Free Beginners Drawing 101
Great class for beginners. Surprised how well online format worked! -
The Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
I really enjoyed this class. It’s been a very long time since I’ve done any drawing let alone charcoal but Raphael made it a fun learning experience. Never once did he make me or anyone else feel like they did wrong. We learned about mark mapping & proportion with our subject as well as creating value, scale and shadowing by blending charcoal. I liked the size of the class, 5 or 6 students, Raphael’s one on one with everyone and the workspace really felt like an art studio with many easels, artwork and quotes. Everyone attending was friendly and interested in each others work. I look forward to taking more classes in the future. -
Caricature Drawing Class
I was nervous because the class was small and I am an introvert. It was the perfect set up. Teacher was personable without forcing input and questions and greetings. You could talk if you wanted or remain quiet. Zero pressure. Anjl taught very simple and clear with great imagery. It was so easy to follow. She really helped lay the base for what I'm trying to develop in myself. I really feel confident I can do this now with the knowledge she shared! It was fantastic! My family is already asking me to draw them just based off my class drawings. -

The Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting

The Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
Really enjoyed the 3 week course. Raphael is a great artist & teacher. I didn’t have much experience with charcoal before but learned a ton and felt great about the piece i worked on in the class. Learned a lot about proportions and identifying values & shadows. Would definitely recommend! -

Online Gray Colored Pencil 101
Linda is a very helpful, entertaining, and knowledgeable instructor who manages to oversee a large number of disparate activities simultaneously. This format was new to me -- less overt instruction, each person doing their own project in different media -- and I'm not sure it's really efficient, but if anyone could make it work, Linda would be the one! -

Susan is an EXCEPTIONAL teacher! I learned so much and had so much fun! HIGHEST recommendation! -

The Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
Raphael is an exceptional art teacher! His classes are a perfect blend of skill-building and artistic exploration. He possesses a deep understanding of various art techniques and has a knack for explaining them in a clear and engaging way. What's more, his lessons are enriched by his vast knowledge of art history. He effortlessly weaves in fascinating insights about the origins of these techniques and the historical context in which they were developed, giving us a deeper appreciation for the art we create. What sets Raphael apart is his ability to nurture individual talent. He takes the time to understand each student's unique strengths and interests, providing personalized guidance and encouragement. He fosters a supportive and inspiring classroom environment where everyone feels comfortable experimenting with their art. Beyond technique, Raphael fosters a true understanding of art. He encourages us to think critically about the art we see and create, to analyze its meaning and impact. He opens our eyes to different artistic styles and movements, helping us to develop a well-rounded perspective. Raphael's passion for art is contagious, I highly recommend Raphael to anyone seeking to ignite and develop their artistic abilities, unlocking their creative potential. He is a truly gifted teacher who makes learning an enriching and enjoyable experience. -
The Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
This class is a wonderful space for anyone who enjoys art and wants to begin working on their drawing and painting skills. Raphael is an amazing teacher who really understands beginners and knows how to approach them and their way of thinking. He's super knowledgable about the history of art, and it's just a pleasure being in the space that he's created. Before taking Raphael's classes, I did some sketching at home, but without actually being familiar with any drawing techniques, so I've taken 5 or 6 classes in this studio. In the beginner class, Raphael focuses on composition (which is super helpful because knowing how to start a drawing can be really difficult), shading (values/tones/what it means to give shape to an object and that erasing is also a part of painting), what an iterative process creating art is, and simply how to approach/understand/appreciate a work of art. Raphael encourages different mediums such as charcoal and pastels, neither of which I'd been exposed to before - it's been great learning how powerful both of these are. Also, the class takes place in an atelier filled with so many paintings, which I find really cool. -

The Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting

It was the best zoom class I've taken as he was savvy and quick with the technology in a way that really helped the learning process and didn’t delay or detract. The teacher provided tons of resources and useful tips throughout each class. He was engaging, energetic, and skilled. It helped to have our work marked up in real time to see where we can improve. He works well with all skill levels without judgment. More than anything, it was just fun :) -

Floral Fridays Watercolor (Online)
I have never been good at drawing and was skeptical as I signed up for this course. Surprisingly, I learned a lot. The instructor was very accessible and taught in a very structured, clear way and I actually learned to paint and learned something about mixing colors and in general feel much more comfortable about my abilities. I would have liked to continue but I believe the instructor went to Europe at the end of the class. I would give the experience a 4.5, simply because I would have preferred to do it in person. -
Watercolor
Anji led a delightful watercolor project that left me happy with my end product painting and the class. -

Beginners Drawing: How to Draw a Portrait
Anna was great! She did such a wonderful job showing us exactly how to draw a portrait by using the Loomis grid method. She explained everything so easily. She took time to answer any questions and to allow us to show our work at the end. She was so positive when critiquing our work. I look forward to future classes with Anna Levy. -
