    Painting in Oils or acrylics with Azar is really a great learning
    experience. The class is very fluid in being able to choose your
    own subjects to paint. There is instruction at the beginning
    of the class and throughout the classes for continual learning.

    Acrylic is a new medium for me. I started with watercolor painting. I especially like taking classes with Azar, who is a former university instructor in art. I have taken many workshops from artists who are not good teachers. As a former professor at CSU,EB in teacher education, I appreciate learning from someone who not only is an excellent artist, but an excellent teacher of art.

    I enjoy working with Azar to gain knowledge; her hands-on approach and her sincerity.

    Our teacher is the best! She has taught me how to determine subject placement, shadowing, blending, etc., in my paintings. I especially learn alot from her demonstrations on mixing colors, brush use, and originality. She walks the room and provides great advice and assistance on our paintings. For someone who cant draw a straight line, even Im impressed with my paintings. Everyone in the class is so creative and friendly. Great class.

    Azar provides feedback and assistance when needed, but also lets me paint at my own pace. She is helpful and kind.

    I have learned so much. I have definitely benefited from Azars expertise. I am learning about drawing and composition. The importance of dark and light values. I love this class and will continue forever.
