Recent reviews of Watercolor Painting Workshop

  • 3/5 from Joan Ayton, attended Jun 2026: I arrived on time but there was one easel left. It was in the back and my view was blocked. The watercolor set was in poor condition and the subject matter did not inspire me. The instructor tried to be helpful but obstructed my view.
  • 5/5 from Aolany Melendez, attended Mar 2026: Very nice teacher
  • 5/5 from Sonia Shah, attended Mar 2026: I had such a relaxing and peaceful experience at the Paint Lab watercolor class. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and it was the perfect way to unwind while exploring my creativity.
