The place is nice but the teacher wasn’t helpful or kind or welcoming. He was already teaching other advanced classes. So if you are beginning to paint and needs to seat next to people that are painting already portraits… that is very overwhelming. The first thing he told me is “ are you good at drawing” when I said no I don’t draw. He says “ one can only be as good painter as one draws” He also came to see me like twice in 2 hours I was there. He let me doing my thing although he knew I had no idea what I was doing. This wasn’t a beginner class. I thought I will learn basics in colour and how to clean my brunch or what products I am using and be given a draw to pain with a basic technique but not he was asking me to do shadows and lights At the end he didn’t provide anything to carry whar I paint or offer to keep it if I want it to be drying there. What an arrogant teacher he was!
