"I have studied under many instructors, but I have enjoyed my largest spurt of growth as a painter under Daniel's teaching. The effectiveness of Daniel's exceptional teaching stems not only from his deep understanding of technique, but also from his commitment to giving his students undivided and personalized attention. Rather than reciting broad instruction from the front of the class, Daniel takes the time to help move ideas into practice, all while ensuring development of my own unique style."

"Daniel Raminfard’s artwork is extremely impressive.  So is his teaching style.  I’ve learned so much from him, in a very short time.  From the initial foundations to advanced artistic expertise, Mr. Raminfard can teach it.  He is incredibly perceptive and can teach visual learning with a few strokes of a paintbrush.  If you are looking for a patient art instructor, with the talent of a master, take this class."

"As a novice to the world of art, it is imperative that I find a special teacher to nurture and to guide me, especially in my embryonic stage.   Daniel has instilled a level of comfort and confidence I needed to overcome my insecurities as a new student.  Not only is he an astute artist, but he is an outstanding instructor with an ability to aid his students to realize their potential or simply to discover the possibilities.  His passion for art and his love in sharing his talent and knowledge to those willing to learn are truly an inspiration."

"I came to class to learn about painting portraits and feel that I've come a long way in developing my skills for painting all subjects. Daniel has helped me to see things from the perspective of an artist and has taught me how to use color and light placement to really bring a painting to life."

"Daniel's class is fun and enlightening, and he always challenges me to push myself as a painter.  The individual attention he provides to each of his students' specific needs and artistic goals provides both objective and subjective instruction and encouragement.  His wisdom and experience as a seasoned artist and instructor make a tremendous impact on the speed with which his students progress.  Every minute spent under his careful tutelage is worth hours in the studio.  I can't imagine a better experience learning oils.  This is definitely the class for me."
