The Art Academy

"I've been taking classes at the Art Academy for a couple of years. I've had studied with different teachers and mentors throughout my life. I started at square one at the Academy and from the first class i've learned useful tips and information that was missed elsewhere. The program has a structured no nonsense approach that provides a solid foundation and a linear progression. I highly recommend the Art Academy whether you're just starting out or wanna take your art to the next level!"

"My daughters have been studying oil painting under Kevin for more than four years now (I myself took some painting lessons with him too) and it has been an exciting and rewarding experience for all of us. I should be used to all the amazing paintings that my kids created at the Art Academy by now, but I still often find myself in awe with the many "masterpieces" that they brought home after their classes. My kids especially benefitted from the Art Academy's summer programs and the difference it made has been phenomenal. I highly recommend Kevin and his Art Academy to anyone who is interested in oil painting. Even if you do not believe that you have the talent, trust me, Kevin will show you otherwise. He is kind, encouraging, supportive and of course multi-talented. He is the best out there."

"My daughter went to the 4 week summer program. She had no prior painting experience and her improvement in such a short time amazes me. She loved it and she is continuing with regular lessons. Kevin is the best instructor I have ever seen and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning to use oil paints. Visit his studio and you will be amazed by the art work of the students. You cannot see the difference between a photo and the painting. His teaching method is both in depth and easy to grasp. In just a short month, results are phenomenal."

"The summer program is amazing! My daughter was a six grader, she has been taking art classes, but never had oil painting classes. She sent up a four weeks program this summer, at the end of the program, she had made such great progress. I simply can’t believe it! Highly recommended!"

"Phenomenal! An absolute must for any art hobbyist or aspiring artist. My daughter has been a student at the Art Academy for more than four years. After only a few years in the program, I am able to call my teenage daughter a masterclass artist. Many of her oil paintings cannot be distinguished from photographs. She puts in the work and the results show. Kevin is a true professional and an exceptional instructor. 5 stars is not enough."
