“I had never even held a brush before today when I took my first oil painting lesson from John.  I am so happy, pleased, and very surprised at how well my first painting came out. To me it’s a keeper! It was a plus the entire lesson was with nontoxic oil painting products since I have asthma. That way I could have more fun!  I can’t tell you how relaxed and happy I was during this lesson.  Now I want to attend John’s upcoming workshop!”  -Jessie H. (10-13-07)

SAMPLE STUDENT COMMENT: “Mr. Heinrichs exuded an obvious joy in his art. He infused our session with an excitement and feeling of creativity that inspired us to dive right into our lesson, all initial apprehension we had as total beginners evaporated in the environment Mr. Heinrichs created for us.” (Anonymous; 10-20-07)
