Where can I take painting classes?

I’ve had classes with Rob in an art league class setting, a small private in-home group setting, and also private one to one instruction in his studio. My painting skills really took off under his direction. With Rob’s help I began to actually see the subject and the lighting with different eyes. What I especially appreciate about Rob’s style of teaching is his special ability to meet each student where they are. He’s working to help each student to their next step, rather than trying to teach them to replicate his works. I highly recommended Rob as a portrait art instructor.

Hetal is a very talented artist and an extremely patient art teacher. She is well versed in most art mediums like acrylic, pencils, charcoal, water colors etc.. I have taken a few lessons from her both virtual and in person and will recommend her thoroughly. She is a very good teacher, accommodating and knowledgable. she tailor made our classes to accommodate various skill levels and was very encouraging through out her sessions. As a beginner with no previous experience I have been able to learn from her and have developed a passion for acrylic art work.
