Painting and Drawing
Alexandra Rozenman was born to be a teacher-- inspiring, very smart & funny in a good way. She knows her art in depth. The atmosphere among the students is lively, friendly and you learn at your own pace. It took me a while to start painting-- my work is very analytical and my soul really needed some balance. I wish I had done it sooner-- I feel recharged and full of ideas. Her studio is also in a conducive place, a converted charming old building in a quiet area in Somerville. Plenty of a parking (a must for me). Great experience and I´ll be signing up for more. -

Can I Paint Like That? (Drop-in)
Under Alexandra's guidance/teaching, I now have four impressionist paintings hanging in my apartment! Each painting took 3-4 sessions to complete. Alexandra is not only funny, sweet, and kind, but also a great teacher. She would let me pick out a painting that I would like to "replicate", teach me the techniques to get it "right", but also let me know that there is no right or wrong way to paint and allowed freedom to incorporate my own style into the replicas. I enjoyed learning to paint from Alexandra! -
Art Lab
Alexandra is kind, funny and patient. She quickly assesses your skill level and instructs from there. She encourages play and experimentation which helped me lessen my need for "perfection." I bought a 3 session groupon package, but found Alexandra's class to be exactly what I need to increase my skill, have fun and relax. I'll be going back for additional classes! -
