Artist with 25 years of teaching experience, RISD & Yale degrees: Teaching drawing, painting (watercolor, acrylic, or oil ), and Art School Portfolio Preparation & Counseling

Perfect! I just completed a tutorial with Stephanie, a RISD-educated art professor, during which she reviewed my sister’s art portfolio. She gave a thorough and insightful evaluation, clearly identifying the portfolio’s strengths and areas that could be improved. Her feedback was specific and practical, and she explained how each suggestion could strengthen the portfolio for art school applications. Stephanie was patient, professional, and generous with her expertise. I finished the session with a much clearer understanding of how to develop and present my sister's work effectively. I would highly recommend her to any student preparing an art portfolio.

Perfect! She has an excellent background in art and drawing and is enthusiastic about teaching. I am looking forward to learning from her!

Perfect! Very pleased with the introductory call. Stephanie was polite and helpful and took the time to get to know my personal interest in the craft. Recommend!

Perfect! It was awesome! They were very knowledgeable, supportive, and easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone.

Perfect! Stephanie is a patient, talented teacher. Highly recommended!

Perfect! Stephanie is super friendly and welcoming. Has a way of putting you at ease even if you are a beginner and don't feel confident in your drawing just yet. Definitely recommend!

Perfect! Stephanie is a gifted drawing teacher who combines real artistic expertise with a warm, approachable style. She makes complex techniques accessible and creates a supportive environment where you actually improve. I’d recommend her without hesitation.

Perfect! Highly recommend Stephanie! She's warm and friendly, non-judgmental (which is important to a beginner like me), is organized and prepared for our lessons, and just makes me feel comfortable despite my anxiety around learning a new skill. Stephanie's experience and background allows her to bring a variety of opportunities to our lessons; I'm loving my class with her!

Perfect! Excellent teacher, very encouraging and an expert in her field.

Perfect! After trying to teach myself to paint with oil paint for over a year, I was lucky enough to find Stephanie Snider. How do these meetings happen in the churn of the world? I am so lucky. In a few weeks, she has taught me about mediums, surfaces, brushes, and answered all my sometimes bizarre beginner questions. She demonstrates as she explains, and she encourages that one experiment with mediums and surfaces etc., even at this stage. My favorite aspect of these lessons is that Stephanie knows about historical (and contemporary) painting techniques, as well, of course, as the history of art, and it's wonderful to talk to someone who can, for example, talk through what Diebenkorn was doing with perspective, or the beauty of grays NOT not created from black and white, etc. These lessons have changed my thinking and my approach and I can't thank her enough for her intelligence, humor, and knowledge.

Perfect! What a fun class!!!
Stephanie is an easy going, excellent teacher.
I've learned so much about drawing with colored pencils.
What I liked most was, whatever Stephanie demonstrated in class, she would take pictures and send it to you, so you could use it as a reference.
Stephanie was also willing to talk about water color, acrylic and oil paints, which I was also interested in.
I wish there was a way to attach the picture I completed in class - amazing for a novice.
Thank you so much Stephanie. I will definitely be taking more classes in the summer.

Perfect! Very helpful
