    Rebecca was awesome! She struck the right balance between providing enough guidance and direction to teach you something, but also give you enough space and freedom to be creative and relaxed.

    It was difficult to get access because I arrived early so I had to wonder around the neighborhood in the rain till someone arrived. The classroom is in the basement, we were all crammed into a small workspace, while a class that came in after us having three student had the large studio. I could learn more watching YouTube videos then I did in that class.

Question from Velve L.
It's confusing - the description references oil painting, while the tag and the required materials only mention acrylic. Just to be clear - this a class teaching acrylics?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi Velve! This is a great question. The school offers students to paint in either Oils or Acrylics. However, most beginner's choose to paint in Acrylics because it dries fast enough to take home after class is finished. From the instructor's observation, most oil painters in this class are experienced and are working on a painting that they work on a weekly basis. Hope this helps.
