Fine Art Studio

Thanks to Russ I am making strides in my watercolor paintings! He really cares about his studio and has a true passion for what he does. Highly recommend.

My daughter is 7 and she loves coming here. The atmosphere is open and personalized. She's in there with teenagers and older folks and everyone is pursuing whatever they wish, it's really inspiring to see the variety! Russ provides just the right amount of help. My daughter's knowledge about technique and confidence in her drawing has grown. He's helping her branch out into watercolor and other mediums. Russ is great about accommodating scheduling needs and changes. Thanks Russ!

This is such an amazing place to learn art and techniques. The owner is a master at so many mediums watercolor, pencil, and more! He has a gift with people and truly helps guide them to become the best of there abilities. I highly recommend these classes for kids and a adults alike. His instructions are easy to follow and are eye opening. Money well spent. It is a wonderful investment!

I really loved it I attend art class every week Russ is a really nice guy and knows what he is doing he is a really good person and teacher I really recommend this place for all the artists out there.

My 3 grandchildren have been coming here to receive private lessons with Russ for several months now. My goodness have they ever improved! He's very patient with them, his studio is neat, clean and the environment is perfectly conducive for creativity. He even has cool breeze music playing softly in the background. The kids are always excited to show their works of art. I highly recommend this art studio!

Had the opportunity to meet Riss at his studio. He graciously made himself available to provide a 'first time' water color lesson for my 8 year old Grand Girl. Our birthday gift to her. His communication, encouragement, instruction and manner created a perfect opportunity for her to have a very positive experience. He was patient, encouraging, informative, respectful, fun!

A perfect balance of genuinely teaching/coaching/assisting/guiding yet leaving plenty of room for her to express her creativity and ask questions and apply his instructions. He did not 'do the painting for her'. An excellent experience and she is very eager for her next session.

Ive been here for two months and my experience has been amazing. The way Russ teaches is amazing, he is patient, funny and a really nice guy. When I came here I was drawling stick figures and now I can paint awesome paintings in just two months. His price is reasonable too. He not only teaches me art but he teaches me the technique and the style of how to paint. Overall Russ's teaching is amazing Lucas 11 years old student

Really enjoy Russ's teaching. He is very encouraging and accepts each person's experience level. He's really an art mentor. Russ includes children and adults in the same class. I was glad to see it works!

OK-I found the studio online and was a bit apprehensive as he only had one review and it was negative. The reviewer said that this man was rude and just stay away. I figured what the heck - maybe I was a little intrigued, so I called anyhow. The gentleman who answered answered the phone owns the studio and his name is Russ. I was pleasantly surprised by my interaction with Russ. He couldn't have been more polite, courteous and quite frankly delightful to speak with!

My son has been coming to this art studio for about 9 months, it has been a positive and fun experience for him. While making the classes fun and interactive, Russ's passion for art has brought out the best in my son. I am happy that I found this studio that places personal emphasis on small classes rather than classes with many students.

Russ is a great guy-- very friendly and down-to-earth. I appreciate that he treats each person as a unique individual. He takes the time to work with each student so everyone is moving along comfortably at their own pace and in the medium that interests them. My son has been very happy here.

My daughter and I we came to the Fine Art Studio tree weeks ago to meeting Russ. He very kind and an amazing teacher.and my daughter suggested we celebrate for her 10th birthday party here. The studio itself is very cute. Russ and Brooke they took care of us from the beginning they're was very helpful.in reserving our spot and making sure the kids having fun.my daughter and all her friends had so much fun and a great time definitely we will coming back. I recommended this place for any occasion birthdays!.Thanks again Russ you are amazing teacher

I highly recommend this place. The Teachers name is Ross He is so kind intelligent and talented artist, his staff here are very friendly and you can tell right away how much they care. From the very first day, the director and staff makes the effort to speak to me, asks me about my children and make sure I feel comfortable with leaving them in their care. They know how to teach in a fun way to keep the kids interested in art.

Russ is getting me to a more proficient level in the technical skills of drawing, color and composition. Everything he has worked on with me has helped my vision of art. I am 70 and have been doing (mediocre) art works my whole life. I am thinking I will live long enough to become really good

My daughter who's 6 yrs old has been coming to Russ for 5 mos and she loves it! Russ is very easy going and patient with her. He guides her through her drawings, but also allows her to be creative with the subject. I can tell that her sketching skills have improved a lot since she came here. Russ is also very flexible with his schedule and make-up policy, which is also a plus for working parents. :

Not what I was expecting, over priced Graphic Artist. A live and learn experience is what I went through with Russ, Over all nice guy but I could pay a 15 year old to do what he did for me. Btw Im a new age Apparel Company and he did not provide the quality & vision I had and was lead to believe.

My husband purchased a Groupon allowing me to attend a one hour class with Russ. Although my Groupon had just expired Russ was kind enough to honor it. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his studio. It is a smaller studio in a quiet location and I took the class with two other people. During that hour he was able to help me get an idea of how to sketch and then work on the full picture with colored pencils.

For someone like me who rarely ever draws it was very exciting to leave with a semi finished project. Russ is good at helping you understand the mechanics of drawing and to feel comfortable as a beginner. I would highly recommend his studio to a beginner or an advanced student as he is more than qualified to work with those as well.

My daughter, 11 years old, LOVES working with Russ. The class size is small and he gives everyone one on one attention. The kids decide what they want to draw, what media they want to use, etc. Russ is there to bring out the creativity and the artistic talent in them and show them the right techniques. My daughter has brought home fantastic pieces. She is amazed at what she can create. He is flexible with make up classes or changing class times. I cannot say enough good things about this studio. Thanks Russ!

My daughters, 8 and 6, have been taking art lessons with Russ the last 2 months and they love it! They have taken art classes elsewhere before and here's what my older daughter said after taking her first lesson with Russ when I asked her how it is different from other art classes. Here's what she says: "I like this class better because Russ asked what I would like to draw today.

The other class, they just help us draw outlines and ask us to copy the same picture on the board" Russ is good with children by allowing them freedom to explore. Yet, he guides them at the same time to help them see deeper and bringing what they see onto their drawing pad with proper technique. The small class size is definitely a plus as he is able to spend time with each student.

This is a wonderful studio to get your creative juices flowing! My son has been taking classes here for the past two months & absolutely loves it. It's fun to watch his drawing skills improve with each passing week. Russ is a superb instructor!

My son started taking art lessons here and after just one class, my son has been drawing non-stop! One of the best things about Russ is that he keeps the class sizes so small that all the kids get individual attention throughout the art class. I love that all the students are working on their own projects and everyone gets to choose what they want to draw and what type of medium they will use on their project. This art studio is so relaxing from the minute you enter the door and all students have such freedom to explore and learn. My son loves this place!

My daughter started at another well-known art studio. It was very pricey and hardly got any personal attention. Russ, the owner at Fine Art Studio, is amazing. The monitors the class sizes to make sure each student has his personal attention. My daughter was at first not sure if she wanted to take anymore lessons, however, after the first lesson she was so excited!

She looks forward to going every week and seeing what she can create! I already have framed a beautiful nature scene. Russ is truly a great teacher and inspiration for my daughter! Thank you Russ!

My daughter loves her art class on Wednesdays! Russ does a great job with all the students and I coundn't recommend it more. In the short time she's been attending the class, she's brought home some amazing work. Thank you.
