Elizabeth is wonderful. She knows her stuff and introduced drawing concepts in understandable, beginner-friendly ways. Having pencils and erasers provided was also valuable to try things out I wouldn’t have wanted to buy myself before knowing what they did and why I’d need them.
Improvements:
Class could be 1.5 hours.

Completely tailored to my child’s interest and goals! Gena doesn’t just go through the motions of teaching drawing technique. She brings in ideas specific to my child’s goals. And she is great about motivating and inspiring the creative process with different techniques, including addressing how to cultivate a mindset of creativity, daily habits and practices, and a focus on building skills and techniques. She’s great with my teenager! Very calm but fun! Highly recommend.
Improvements:
Move the center closer to Austin so it’s not as far from us! 😉
