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!!”
— 2019 Sight Size Intensive workshop student
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.
— Dennis, 2016 Oil Painting for Newbies student
ARA Boston is well appointed, clean and efficient, their workshop was well organized and very well done. Bravo!
