"Wonderful experience learning to draw and paint at Swarthmore. Relaxed and encouraging environment. I highly recommend this excellent centre of education."

“I did Oil Painting for Beginners and loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed, I learned a lot and enjoyed the company of my classmates. I'll be back - in fact, I've signed up for next term!”
