Testimonials

"What I really love about the atmosphere here, especially in classes, is that you meet a lot of great people." ~ Sue Lichacz
"This class exceeded my expectations! I am such a beginner I didn't even know you could paint with pastels. We learned what to expect from different surfaces, different kinds of pastels, and the effects they would create together. I came away with a deeper understanding of color. I look forward to taking more classes at the Virginia Beach Art Center." - September Lundeen
"Tons of helpful hints for technique and 'how to do' example demonstrations. 
​  Very worthwhile course."  ​~ Michelle Brackett
"I enjoy every moment of these classes.  The fellowship and the instructions received are valuable.  My confidence is always built up." ~ Marjorie Craig
