Artist with 25 years of teaching experience, RISD & Yale degrees: Teaching drawing, painting (watercolor, acrylic, or oil ), and Art School Portfolio Preparation & Counseling

Perfect! Highly recommend Stephanie! She's warm and friendly, non-judgmental (which is important to a beginner like me), is organized and prepared for our lessons, and just makes me feel comfortable despite my anxiety around learning a new skill. Stephanie's experience and background allows her to bring a variety of opportunities to our lessons; I'm loving my class with her!

Perfect! Excellent teacher, very encouraging and an expert in her field.

Perfect! After trying to teach myself to paint with oil paint for over a year, I was lucky enough to find Stephanie Snider. How do these meetings happen in the churn of the world? I am so lucky. In a few weeks, she has taught me about mediums, surfaces, brushes, and answered all my sometimes bizarre beginner questions. She demonstrates as she explains, and she encourages that one experiment with mediums and surfaces etc., even at this stage. My favorite aspect of these lessons is that Stephanie knows about historical (and contemporary) painting techniques, as well, of course, as the history of art, and it's wonderful to talk to someone who can, for example, talk through what Diebenkorn was doing with perspective, or the beauty of grays NOT not created from black and white, etc. These lessons have changed my thinking and my approach and I can't thank her enough for her intelligence, humor, and knowledge.

Perfect! What a fun class!!!
Stephanie is an easy going, excellent teacher.
I've learned so much about drawing with colored pencils.
What I liked most was, whatever Stephanie demonstrated in class, she would take pictures and send it to you, so you could use it as a reference.
Stephanie was also willing to talk about water color, acrylic and oil paints, which I was also interested in.
I wish there was a way to attach the picture I completed in class - amazing for a novice.
Thank you so much Stephanie. I will definitely be taking more classes in the summer.

Perfect! Very helpful
