Testimonials:

Masha taught all the classes I took and I specifically picked the ones she taught. She is fantastic, a great balance of helpful critiques while not overwhelming you. I know I can sometimes feel really subconscious of how bad my art is, but I think her style really helped me grow while not getting dejected. I will almost certainly be coming back to take more classes.

I have taken 3 adult art classes here over the past year or so (Beginner, Watercolor and Soft Pastels). I have always wished I could be better at art but found it hard to even know where to begin. More than the specifics of what we learned in each class (how to draw a nose, petals of a flower, etc), I really am grateful for how we were taught the general process of starting and completing a piece. More than anything I think that has enabled me to go off on my own, practice more and have a framework of where to begin and not feel intimidated.

I have taken five adult classes with Masha in the past 18 months and just signed up for my sixth. I have taken acrylic, soft pastels, oil pastels and watercolor. I enjoy the classes so much that I have taken some of the courses more than once. Each time I learn something new and feel like it helps me improve as an artist. Masha is able to teach individual students at their own skill level whether they are a beginner or more advanced. Regardless of skill level she is able to help each individual grow as an artist while all in the class together. Masha is very helpful in having students think about the composition of each piece. I have been very happy with my experience and will continue to take classes.
