Decorus Atelier and James, the founder and lead instructor, were fantastic. I’m just beginning my creative journey and have very little experience, but this introductory course was practical, filled with interesting tidbits, and accessible enough for me to learn real techniques. The class size was intimate and moved at my own pace which worked really well for the way my brain processes information. I felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone else. Highly recommend! -

This was an incredibly fun and helpful class. My previous teacher experiences learning watercolor made me not enjoy it as I didn’t understand the process correctly.

I signed my husband and me up for this course as a surprise birthday gift for him, and it was a blast! Vince was great at showing us the ropes, offering guidance when we needed it, and also letting us do our own thing. It felt like a day at the shop with friends. We're looking forward to more classes here in the future, and definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about woodcarving. -
Art Workshop (Thursday)
I took the Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting class and have enjoyed every minute of it! I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in drawing, whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to art after a long break. The instructor explains concepts like mark making, proportion, and measuring in a clear, systematic way that makes challenging techniques feel approachable. Learning to create a value scale completely changed how I think about light, depth, and form, and I was surprised by how much my drawings improved in just a few sessions. The class strikes a great balance between group demonstrations and personalized feedback, so you always know what to work on next without feeling overwhelmed. The learning environment is warm, supportive, and inspiring, with a small class size that encourages creativity while giving everyone plenty of individual attention. I left each session feeling more confident, motivated to keep practicing, and excited to continue taking classes with this instructor. -
Weeknight Figure Drawing
Very professional yet relaxed environment for all types of artists. The instructor was very welcoming, and everyone was very friendly. I would recommend their instructed classes as well if you are totally new to drawing. -

Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting (For Two)
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed taking Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting and learned a great deal in a short amount of time. One of the most valuable concepts we learned was mark-making (mark-mapping), which helped us observe subjects more carefully and translate what we saw onto the page with greater confidence. We also gained a better understanding of proportion, value, light, and shadow, which made our drawings feel more accurate and dimensional. Raphael was an excellent teacher - patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to provide helpful feedback that met students where they were! The learning environment was welcoming and supportive, and it was inspiring to learn alongside other students who were equally excited to improve their skills. What we appreciated most was the focus on observation and process rather than perfection, which made the class approachable and enjoyable. We left feeling much more confident in our abilities and are excited to continue building on these fundamentals. We hope to keep learning and growing as artists with Raphael moving forward. -
Weeknight Figure Drawing
This was all I could want from live figure drawing -- a great model who was creative with their poses, nice snacks, and a warm welcome. And the space is amazing -- if I'd had more time, I would've checked out the current art exhibit! I'll definitely try to come back. -
Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting (For Two)
A serious class that doesn't take itself too seriously! Great for beginners. The intimidation I felt stepping into class vanished as soon as Raul started teaching. There's a brief presentation and you are thrown into the fire! The best way to learn is to do, I guess. Raul stays engaged with everyone as they create. He gives positive feedback as well as thoughtful suggestions to how you can add to your work. He doesn't just instruct, he teaches. Class feels like a casual conversation and we even learn a little bit of art history throughout. What made me choose this course as opposed to other highly rated courses, was the reviews saying how beginner friendly this series is. And I could see in the photos of the class that everyone seemed happy to be there. All art styles are encouraged, so it's a reassuring environment. -

Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
Had a great time in the fundamentals of drawing and painting class. It took place at Raphael's cozy home studio. I'm new to art and was nervous but in the end felt very comfortable. Raphael taught me a lot and I've been able to use some of the things I've learned on my own. There were students of various levels, some regulars and some new. They were all very nice and supportive. It's a great environment to learn about different types of art not just what you're interested in. I would definitely recommend this class if you're a beginner like me. -
Long Pose Figure Drawing
I continue to enjoy the encouraging, relaxing atmosphere of the Long Pose classes.The professional models are visually interesting people of all body types. I can take my time to study different areas of the subject from different angles. I have been able to hone in on different areas of my gesture and figure drawing, helping me improve at my own pace. -
Jewelry-Making with Ken Fury
A wonderful class with thorough instruction! Great way to learn the true art of fine jewelry. Definitely a class where you’re building skills over time rather than a workshop. Would absolutely return! -

Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
This art class profoundly improved both my technical skills and conceptual understanding. I learned how to create spatial depth using two-point perspective and how to render realistic lights and shadows using charcoal. A crucial part of this process was training my eye to observe colored objects and accurately translate their relative brightness and darkness into grayscale values. Beyond these techniques, diving into the philosophy behind artwork taught me that creating art is about communicating deeper meaning and intention, rather than just technical reproduction. -

Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
I really enjoyed this fundamental drawing class. The instructor is very professional and explains everything clearly with a lot of patience. He is always encouraging and makes sure every student feels supported and confident. I also really enjoy talking with him about different topics, from art to life, which makes the class feel even more inspiring. Through this course, I learned how to use charcoal to draw still life and how to use value to create a strong sense of three-dimensional form. I also improved my coloring techniques so my work looks more realistic. Overall, it has been a very enjoyable and inspiring experience. -
Fundamentals of Drawing & Painting
We learned about mark making, proportion, value scales, blending with charcoal, using tools like compressed charcoal pencils, different sizes of erasers, tortillons (blending tool), and how to distinguish between color and value for black and white drawing. The learning environment is also incredible. The workshop is covered in art and quotes and teachings, and the experience is as much a philosophical one as it is an artistic one, which I enjoyed immensely. We learned about different aspects of Greek and Roman art philosophies, Japanese aesthetics and poetry, and how great artists like Leonardo Da Vinci thought about their pursuit of art. Our teacher provided us each with one-on-one instruction as we worked through our art, and demonstrated how to improve our techniques with each additional session. -
Paint in the Dark
Had no expectations coming into the class and was blown away about how much fun it was! Teo is super talented and for a pretty full class he is able to quickly sketch your inspiration in seconds so that you can start painting. It’s a unique take instead of everyone going home with the same painting you’re able to come to class with a few pictures and teo will let you know which one looks best with the paint. He was an absolute professional. He had different sessions going at the same time like slime drawing, light figure lamp painting and our glow in the dark panting. Would definitely come back to try the others. I will say that it’s black light glow so if you want your work to glow when you get home a cheap Amazon UV light will help.
