Art Lessons by Leah Day

While I have always wanted to be creatively expressive, outside of basic crafting, I've struggled with being too self critical in order to actually attempt anything. Leah offered to provide art lessons for me in the hopes of breaking this fear. What an experience! Not only is her artistic skill incredible, her teaching abilities are gentle yet encouraging and particularly empowering. She was finally able to convince that there are no mistakes when it comes to creating art -- anything can be fixed but once really allow yourself to create, you might not even want to fix them. It's all part of the process of learning. I highly recommend Leah to anyone looking to start out as a painter (she's also a master of several other media). Time spent in her classroom will not leave you wanting but ready to try for more!

I truly enjoyed taking Art Lessons from Leah. I have no background in oil painting and have always wanted to learn to paint, but was concerned whether I would be able to paint anything I could enjoy. Leah is a very patient and will accomplished artist that made me feel comfortable in learning and provided me with techniques that helped me to paint pictures that I was truly proud of. I took the beginning series of 6 lessons and the first class I was able to paint a seascape. As the lessons went on I grew more and more confident (and proud of my projects!). I intend to continue with her intermediate class. I really enjoy the classes! She is an amazing teacher. Throughout the class she kept telling us that and quot;we couldn't make a mistakeand quot; and her teaching style guaranteed that was the case.

I was very pleased with the class. I had always wanted to paint, but thought I didn't have enough talent to do so. Leah was very good at teaching me techniques and helping me to feel confident that I could paint. As Leah said time and time again "You can't make a mistake". By the time the class was done I had multiple paintings I had painted that I am very proud of. I am motivated to continue with this new found interest of mine and intend to take her intermediate and advanced classes
