Testimonials

Sam’s in-person paint classes were so amazing. Sam is so patient and encouraging. The amount of thoughtful effort put into every class from the amazing snacks and beverages to the neatly ribbon-tied paint brushes is unmatched. Sam’s online tutorials are amazing. A wide variety of different subjects, a detailed and carefully laid-out accompanying booklet. Her videos are easy to follow and are step-by-step. Honestly, anyone can paint when doing an online tutorial or in-person paint class with Sam. Finally, Sam is one of the kindest, caring, encouraging, people I have ever met. The environment that Sam cultivates in her class always made me feel accepted and included, which is really important for me when I am painting, which is something really vulnerable for me
