Frequently asked questions about adult classes:

I am going to miss 1-2 classes. How do I make them up? Almost every student misses classes now and then. To arrange a make up, please email your studio up to 5 days in advance, we do not allow drop ins. - We offer up to 3 make ups per course/semester (1 make up for short 5-6 weeks courses) - Make ups are not guaranteed, but we will try our best. - No make ups can be scheduled after missed class. - A make up can not be rescheduled. Do I need to purchase materials? We provide the materials for the in-studio classes, there is no need to bring anything. However, it might be a good idea to purchase some art materials for practice at home. Online students neeed to purchase materials for their classes.

Jane W.

I really enjoyed the Advanced Watercolor course with Luka. He is an incredibly patient and thoughtful instructor who takes the time to make sure everyone understands each technique. The lessons were practical and immediately useful, and I walked away with new approaches that I can confidently apply to my own work. Luka also offered excellent guidance on how to continue learning and growing beyond the course, which I found especially valuable. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to deepen their watercolor skills in a supportive and well-structured environment.
