In class, I followed the typical process of starting with drawing, progressing to shading, then painting. I have developed the ability to see subtleties in images that I did not notice before. This alone has improved my work. I have learned to create virtually any color from a limited palette, which has greatly simplified my process compared to what I was doing prior to the class. Albert, the instructor, has a relaxed demeanor and I recommend Martin Fine Art if you want to improve your painting.

I've driven by a million times, and for some reason thought it was apartments. Yikes! It most certainly is not. It is a beautiful and well curated space that displays art by the current artist in residence. (I believe they stay two months at a time.) Today was my first visit and I didn't have time to see everything, so I will come back this weekend. What I did see was some extraordinary embroidery work. The people who work at the institute introduced themselves and approached me with inspiring information about the art when they saw me looking at it and heard that it was my first visit. I love this place! I agree with the other reviewer that it feels warm and inclusive and inviting. No attitude here. Can't wait to come back.
