    Learning to draw, and now paint, at The Art Studio New York has been the most positive, encouraging experience. Our teacher, Jake, has a way of turning the most difficult, frustrating experience around. And teaching you to be patient as you learn and your skills develop. I’m so happy here!

    The teacher was very nice. There was an inspiring picture printed and put aside of your easel for reference but you are totally welcome to paint your own style and whatever color scheme. The teacher showed us different techniques of mixing color, using brushes, and even structure and shadowing, lighting. It's a fun class. Everything is provided except the canvas.

    I really enjoyed this painting class. All of the necessary supplies were offered AND we took home our finished product the same night. We were encouraged to copy a smaple painting. I didn't love that idea and tried stuff on my own (which was absolutely fine with the teachers) In hindsight, I think I should have stuck to the teacher's original plan. The location was convenient to the subway and the classroom was just the right size for what we were doing. I would definitely take another painting class through this organization.

    I loved this course so much; it was literally the highlight of my week and Im so bummed its over. Jake was an awesome teacher. He applies just the right balance of instruction and autonomy. His approach allowed us to learn the techniques but also have the freedom to express ourselves in a unique and fluid way. The setting was so relaxing with easy listening music on in the background, and the option to sip wine while we paint. Also, the small size of the group enabled Jake to give us each the perfect amount of individual attention. I have been to other painting studios for classes like this and the Art Studio is by far my favorite. I live in Queens so the commute is a little taxing but I will continue going there because I had such a great experience for the 4 week class. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this class and the Art Studio to anyone interested in trying something creative...and I have already been telling anyone who will listen about it!!

    The space is large and airy and a nice setup. The teacher was terrific. I learned a lot of things I didn't know about acrylic painting. I felt very comfortable in the class. I would definitely go back again. I think the price was more than a bargain considering what we got in return. All the materials were supplied, including the canvas and those aprons are so adorable. Our teacher had everything ready for us and all we had to do was paint. She even offered me a can of diet coke because I had forgotten my water. I love CourseHorse. I think it is great.

    Great class! - nice, motivating and capable teacher. Step-by-step instruction. - feasible assignment: we had three hours to complete a painting. Everybody in class finished it. - materials were good - wine was good ;-) There's also room for improvement: - the studio is quite small and there were a lot of students. Little crowded. - you can buy a canvas in the studio which costs $10. That's a good deal (I went to several stores to look for a canvas, they were all more expensive), but it would be nice if they would indicate this price in the confirmation e-mail you get.
