Abstract Painting Class

Posted By : nancylL1275YY
Andrea is a personable, friendly, experienced teacher who provides exercises and direction on the skills that you want to work on and provides opportunities to use all types of mediums and methods to take make you a better artist. I appreciate the pre questionnaire and the optional homework assignment to get your mind set before class. I learned a lot in a short time and can't wait to put the new skills to work. I would highly recommend Andrea and will definitely work with her again.

I loved my time spent with Andrea. She really took the time to get to know what I knew and then based my class time on the things I needed help with - she based it on ME. I appreciated the little tips here and there, the compliments on specific areas of my paintings, and all my questions she answered. She is also very pleasant to be with. I only wish I lived in Santa Fe so I could do more with her!

My 10 year old son and I loved Andrea's painting class. She is a great teacher and created a patient and fun atmosphere for me and my son. She showed us how to get started as beginners and several fun techniques with natural pigments, adding textures, and working with color. At first my son didn't know if he would enjoy a 2-hour class but the time flew by. We are both continuing to paint and hope to take more classes with Andrea. Thank you!

This was unlike any other art retreat I have experienced in that Andrea created an awesome opportunity for me to grow as an artist. Every lesson in this masterfully created program offered valuable demos, insights, tools, techniques, tips and guidance for dealing with so many of the situations that arise when we paint. This was invaluable! She also provided an encouraging atmosphere within which to experiment and play. All, and I mean all, supplies (paint, canvases, etc) were provided right down to an apron and gloves. This made it so much easier for me as I was coming from out of state. In addition, the location of the studio, right in the heart of beautiful Santa Fe, and comfortable studio environment (great vibes in her charming building) just added to the overall experience. Andrea’s one-on-one mentoring and feedback during the retreat was extraordinarily helpful as was the opportunity she provided at the end of each day to give and get feedback from the other students. A heartfelt thank for all you did to make this so inspirational, educational and successful for me! If you have the opportunity to participate in Andrea's retreat, don’t hesitate to do so!!

After searching around for a painting course that would combine having fun creating my first painting, while also teaching me skills that I could use to explore painting in the future, I found Andrea and her class. Andrea was very welcoming and had a wonderful personality. Paired with her extensive knowledge in teaching and acrylic painting, the class was exciting and informative. With some guidance and encouragement throughout, my group and I were very pleased with what we all created. My expectations for a good looking piece of art were low based on my skill and knowledge, but I was extremely surprised by what I made with the help and teachings from Andrea. Highly recommend!

This was my first time ever trying to paint. I received excellent instruction. I couldn't believe I actually painted an abstract landscape! Pam was excellent and helped me step by step through the process. I think I'm hooked! It was a comfortable, no stress in fact was very relaxing. Hope to take another class soon.

My wife and I are retired and interested in art. We visit Santa Fe frequently and decided to try this experience. It was fun, enjoyable, and educational.

I got to know Andrea Cermanski at one of her painting retreats. It was invaluable as far as my learnings and painting skills go. Andrea was patient, enthusiastic, and an excellent communicator. Her tips significantly improved my work. My work with Andrea has since continued with individual mentoring which I find so helpful and rewarding. I would highly recommend Andrea as a teacher!

Pam was patient an encouraging. I liked her gentle manner with my mom who was NOT an experienced painter. She was organized and prepared which made the experience low stress. It was a blast! Highly recommend!

I took Andrea's abstract painting class with my two granddaughters age 9 and 6. We are so glad we did and it was truly the highlight of their week long visit from California. Andrea has a teaching style that would appeal to all age groups. She is organized, clear, and fun in her presentation. My granddaughters are incredibly proud of their creations. They ecstatically showed them to their parents. They both said they will hang them in their new bedrooms next month! Andrea's studio class and "tips" were immensely enjoyed. So great that we all left with our paintings! I am sure we will engage again during their next visit!!
