Recent reviews of New York Inspired Oil Painting Class
5/5 from Yosef F, attended Sep 2026: Elena was incredible! We had the best time celebrating my wife's birthday. Elena is so talented, kind, patient, and encouraging! Our paintings came out great and we can't wait to hang them up. We really enjoyed this class. 10/10 recommend!!
5/5 from Samia Kemal, attended Jul 2026: Great way to spend time and you walk away with a wonderful piece. Elena is accommodating and helpful in guidance and you really get to carry away something special.
5/5 from Valerie Zinner, attended Sep 2025: Elena was exactly the teacher we needed! We were all beginners, and she was super helpful and accomodating. We all had a great time, and were surprised at how well our paintings came out, even painting with oil for the very first time. She let us explore and work on our own, but whenever we were stuck, she came over and was super helpful with suggestions.
5/5 from Arielle Hillock, attended Jul 2025: This class was very fulfilling, especially as someone who has not painted before and needs expert artistic guidance. There are plentiful options of NYC photos to choose from, or you can also use one of your own photos! There is the option to do one session or multiple depending on your chosen work and preferences. Elena has everything you need prepared for you and was very helpful in guiding my work in better direction! Her studio is gorgeous and a very relaxing environment.
