Frances did a great job helping me to improve my painting. I had had great difficulty finding a way to learn classical painting techniques before Frances. Contemporary art and artists seem to skip over the basics. Frances helped me learn incredible techniques - simple and complex - that vastly improved my painting in only a few months! She knows an endless amount and will never hesitate to help you.

Paul G.

My father in law was visiting us for 3 weeks from Europe, and Anna gave a biweekly class to initiate him to oil painting. The result was astonishing paintings in their artistic and technical qualities. Anna is definitely a gifted teacher. She is able to adapt to her student and infuse the right amount of guidance. He really enjoyed these classes, and were the highlight of his visit. Thanks a lot Anna. He will miss your classes.
