Students' reviews:

Ellie S.

I attended the academic drawing class, taught by Nadia and learned so much! Every lesson felt like a step up in terms of learning new techniques and having the ability to practice applying them on appropriately and increasing difficult subject matter. There was also a lot of time for one on one instruction, which I was not expecting but was so incredibly helpful. I will definitely be taking another class here again!
