Lidya is a great and extremely kind and patient art instructor. I came to her class because I was so bored to death. I have zero talent but she assured me that I can make mistakes over and over again without any repercussions. When I'm stuck, she helps me a lot so I can get back on track. She is highly skilled in fine arts. read more

My daughter has been a student in Lidya's class for a year and a half. She absolutely loves it. Lidya is a skilled, kind, patient and giving teacher. The students choose what they want to work on so it's very individualized not a program that everyone has to fit into. The classes are outside in nature at a park which is so good for the kids and their creativity too. I have seen such improvement and highly recommend her classes. read more

Ms. Lydia, is an excellent art teacher. We are very happy with her teaching style and personal attention to the kids interest.

My son has been learning with Ms Lidya for about 2 years now. She is an excellent artist and teacher and we have had a great experience with her. I had previously checked out some other places that offered a very rigid arts/ painting curriculum such that every child is completing a predetermined set of paintings or pictures. However, Ms Lidya personalizes her classes and offers 1:1 coaching based on the child's interest and what they would like to pursue, while also focusing on the basics and concepts. We loved that. I have also seen some older students do great oil and acrylic paints with her. Her classes are often in a park outdoors but that works well for us. Online classes also offered and she is pretty flexible. read more

Lidya's Fine Art Classes - Art Classes Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

I found Lidya's art class by googling local art classes for my daughter. It was the best experience ever! We had tried a few classes at the Mission Renaissance Fine Art Classes locally , but it wasn't what I was looking for - Lidya is a talented artist and her kindness, patience and love is all about encouraging her students to be happy , explore and grow! She gives a close and personal attention to each student , young and old and help pick up at any level in a very friendly fun loving environment . My daughter (10 at the time) found it hard to draw in the beginning, and Lidya started her with charcoal , then when she changed her mind to do painting , Lidya was open to have her explore acrylic. Lidya is the type that encourages everyone's vision and talents and this helped boost my daughter's self esteem. She made so many friends in her class and share their art work through social media and still keep in touch ! After one year of art classes with her , at one time the kids brought the open art competition "reflections" to her attention and Lidya encouraged them to participate guiding them with their vision and talents. It was an epic experience to see several of the students make it through 1st place or runner ups through their school district by participating! As a mother , I enjoyed seeing my daughter take a huge turn in loving art and seeing her flourish. At one time I participated with the painting sessions and it was a great bonding time for both of us. Did I mention Halloween parties? Birthday events or Valentines etc? We are truly grateful for the many many fun events that Lidya always creates ! You will not regret taking classes with Lidya for all ages! read more

Lidya is a very professional, organized, and considerate art teacher. My kid attended painting class with her for more than a year. Now he's taking sketching with her. No matter in-person or via Zoom meeting, Lidya's art lessons are always interesting that my kid cannot wait to see her every friday afternoon. She also has many creative activities in some special occasions such as mother's day, father's day, Thanksgiving, etc. I would give her 6 stars if I could :) read more

I feel lucky to have found this wonderful teacher. She is a very talented artist herself, but also kind and patient as a teacher. I've been her student for one and a half year now and have learned to appreciate art in a professional way. I started with charcoal, then pastel, oil pastel, acrylic, then settled on oil paint. I've really enjoyed the journey. Before this, I could only draw stick figures for my kids. read more

I have been looking for an art class for my daughter that is not a typical cookie-cutter organization and was so happy to come across a teacher like Lidya.

Looking forward to your guidance in many years to come. :) read more
