The Fundamentals of Oil Painting course was so fun, I returned for the Fundamentals of Drawing course too. Super friendly environment. Lots of fun. The teachers were excellent with their individualised advice on how to elevate your artwork. They also managed to cater to varying experience levels in the class. I was a beginner, whereas others were clearly more talented, but everyone seemed to get value out of the lesson. Basically a great way to spend a weekday evening. Thank you, Paint:Lab team!

I just took an acrylic class outside with Ali from Paint:Lab at the Montana walk yesterday. It was so so fun and really great to have Ali’s encouraging instruction- with enough detail to make the image and enough freedom to make the image your own. So fun! Highly recommend Paint:Lab and will go to the studio for classes!
