I was a complete beginner two years ago when I started painting with Michael. Although he was not excited about my novice status on day one, he patiently demonstrated the basics and taught me to keep going back to these simple principles. He encourages with a great sense of humor and gives students enough time to work on our own while always being available for advice. While I tend to like traditional approaches I truly appreciate Michael’s belief that “there is no wrong way.” My painting has come a long way in this short time period and has become a treasured part of my life. I have become a member of the Wellesley Society of Artists and have been participating in shows. I have even received Honorable Mention for a painting I exhibited at the Wellesley Library.

I have taken a few "paint-together" adult classes with Brush and Paisely under the guidance of Raksha Soni. I found it to be a very creative, relaxing and therapeutic experience. Raksha is a very talented, patient and thoughtful artist and teacher. She allowed each of the participants in the class to express their creativity and individuality while teaching them the techniques and painting tricks. Each of the participants left the session with a "masterpiece" and feeling very rewarded and with a feeling of time extremely well spent. I highly encourage others to participate in Brush and Paisely classes to express your inner artist and to let your creativity blossom under the tutelage of an excellent teacher!
