“Very Impressed!”—See Why Our Classes Are a Hit

There’s something truly special happening in the classrooms at Arlene’s. We’ve recently welcomed new students to our workshops, and their feedback has been nothing short of glowing. One student shared, “This was my first class and I was very impressed!” They went on to say, “The relaxed teaching style was really appreciated!! Very knowledgeable!” and “I loved it so much.” These comments reflect the heart of what we strive for—accessible, inspiring instruction that meets students where they are.

Another student praised a recent watercolor workshop, noting how much they appreciated the instructor’s approach: “The fact that the instructor didn't do a long demo at the beginning—in effect ‘showing off’ their artistic talents—was refreshing. Instead, they demonstrated a part of what we were supposed to do so that we could get going with a drawing right away. Then they came around to each participant, answering questions or offering feedback about the painting part of the watercolor each of us was working on. They offered each of us positive reinforcement, which was very much appreciated.”

At the Atelier at Arlene’s, our classes and workshops are designed to be welcoming, affordable, and rooted in community. Our instructors are not only talented artists—they’re generous teachers who create space for exploration, growth, and joy. If you’ve been thinking about joining a class, now’s the time. Come see why so many students leave saying, “I was very impressed.”
