Student Review: “Be forewarned: This class will make you realize that you can paint and draw like these instructors, no matter where you start or your age. You'll be excited to fill in the gaps with more classes. Even though the Academy is in Boston, there are places to stay, and it's less than a five-minute walk from South Station.”

Testimonials
“The course is great and more than met my expectations. The focus is intense to maximize learning balanced by Julie’s coaching, which minimized frustration. The studio space is so conducive to learning — what a privilege to be able to study there. On Sunday morning when I looked at my drawing with fresh eyes, I thought, “Man, I can DO this!!””
“The class was amazing. Thank you very much. You are such a generous teacher, sharing a wealth of information with us. The class was an excellent introduction to many important things to think about — things that I wish I knew in my past attempts to work in oils.”
“ARA Boston is well appointed, clean and efficient, their workshop was well organized and very well done. Bravo!”
