Andres listens to his students carefully and excels at teaching values, colors, temperature, and other art concepts, including drawing. He instructs on how to compose pictures and set up still life arrangements with great detail. His explanations are easy to understand, and he simplifies complex concepts effectively. He responds to questions promptly, always keeps his promises, and engages with his students rather than teaching in a one-way manner. He is very patient and demonstrates painting and drawing techniques, offering a wide variety of methods. I highly recommend him at any level.

Anna knows how to paint and she is so encouraging. Having a lesson with her is like being with a good friend who is also an artist and a teacher. We have already signed up for another lesson.

He is fantastic! Works well with you and is super encouraging. I can’t wait to see how my art progresses with his instruction.

His talent as an artist is matched by his ability to listen to what my skills are and teaching to my abilities while still challenging me to improve.

I could leave a novel length review regarding how good my experience was with my first round of sessions were with Alfredo. I had absolutely no experience painting with oils prior to my classes. As our sessions went on, Alfredo created snd altered my class structure to accommodate what I needed. He didn't just teach me how to put oils on a canvas, but explained the importance of everything from the care and cleaning of your brushes, materials he recommended all the way to explaining color theory, sketching and more. He has played an integral role in me using art and painting to finding peace and putting smiles on my face. I cant wait to see my progress in our next round of sessions. Not only is Alfredo a great instructor, but hes my mentor and my friend. Hes helped a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran find a way to push an illness aside and use art to be happy. I hope I'm able to attach my paintings below. One is my very first completed painting and one about to be completed, and could not look anything like they do with Alfredo's guidance. They are pieces painted prior from other artists.
