“I have just completed a beginners course at The Seasons Art Class in Richmond. I loved every moment. Kirsten runs the class and is absolutely lovely, welcoming and encouraging. Irina taught us so much in the 13 weeks and made us all feel like we could paint! I would highly recommend. I will certainly be taking more courses as miss the camaraderie already!”
