Art School of SF Bay (San Rafael) — Attraction in San Rafael

Next week I will begin my third class here. I've been on a quest to be more creative and searching for something more instructional than the "Paint and Sip" classes offered. I am so happy to have found Art School of SF Bay in San Rafael. The studio is inspiring, bright and well appointed with all the supplies needed for class. They have an abundance of paints (oils and acrylics), pencils, easels, lighting, fabrics. So far I've taken a painting series and an impressionist series. I'm both challenged and able to express creative freedom. Cody is a truly gifted teacher and artist. He gives every student the level of attention they require (some more, some less). He's never too busy to show a reference from the masters and break it down or walk you over to the color wheel to help mix the right shade.

Definitely recommend the art...

I had lots of painting experience when I was younger but stopped making art during high school. I returned to painting in my late twenties, and Cody's class was the perfect place to reinforce techniques I wanted to refresh and pick up new ones. I never felt too behind or too advanced. Cody tailored every lesson in a way that met each student's needs. His pointers and guidance truly elevated my work and abilities. My confidence and capacity to expand my art practice have increased so much! I followed up the painting class with the figure drawing course, which I highly...
