Artists Training Center Of Foropoulos Studios Of Fine Arts

This is not your ordinary college or art center place of artist training. It is the extraordinary privilege of studying with Master Artist, Paul Foropoulos. Once he accepts you as a potential student who is 'trainable' he will challenge your abilities to become the best artist you can be. His method teaches the whole person and about the whole industry. Art as a business. He will start your training where you are at and coach you through a series of skill training exercises. He also offers master classes and private lessons. His time is very valuable, as he is also a working artist taking on commissions and his own works. His beautiful wife, Dina, is not only a wonderful framer, but she holds down the "fort" by managing all the organizational tasks as well as occasionally modeling in very unique character poses that can lead into wonderful paintings and drawings. Paul's experiences are remarkable from NYC to the islands of Greece with much success. He is offering his time to share his gifts and talents and passing them down to those who are willing to put in the serious work!

Paul Foropolous studios offers a unique and rewarding experience, and people that you work with can really become like family. To respond to what Miriam said: Quality art supplies are generally not cheap. It was made clear that the art supplies are not included in the price of lessons and the ones that you get are reasonable priced; at the same time, both Paul and Dina are aware that art supplies can get expensive, and they do their best to work with your financial situation. Depending on how much experience you have, it may take you awhile to finish a piece of art, but that’s because it takes more time to do something right the first time. Results really reflect the time put in. And another thing - The artist’s wife Dina is extremely sweet and thoughtful, and she is very respectful to the students. Before you begin a class, you should talk to Paul, Dina, and also some of the current students in order to get a better idea of what to expect. If you start out a class with false expectations, then you could waste your time as well as Paul’s. As someone who has been teaching art for longer than I have been alive, Paul knows how to work with people of different ages and backgrounds. If you have the passion for art and even a smidge of potential, he will help you improve as an artist. But! If being an artist is something you really want, you will have to understand that these classes are a commitment and will require you to invest a certain amount of money and time. Overall, my experience has been great, and I love Paul and Dina. They don't deserve to be disrespected in the way that some of the ex-students did -_-.

I enjoyed painting when I was younger and I was pretty good, but life happened. I had been looking for an instructor to help me. I found Paul & Dina. They are an amazing team and amazing to work with. One look at Pauls work and I knew I could excel as his student. The instruction is personalized to your skill level and goals. I recently finished my first horse painting. Something I had always wanted to do. Dina did the framing and it came out amazing. I would highly recommend the studio. This is a professional level art studio, if you are serious about your art, this is the place to be. Dina runs the office and does the framing. She is very open and caring.

If you're serious about developing your artistic abilities this is the place to go. I've been to other places for painting and life model classes and this is the best one. It is excellent quality artistic training that is reasonably priced and instructed by an accomplished artist and instructor. I have been attending for a while and won't go anywhere else!

I've been training at this art center for many years after trying and rejecting other art classes all over the county. Instruction, guidance and encouragement is the mission of this Master Artist and teacher who genuinely cares for his students. He will challenge you to do more than you think that your level of talent is, pulling from you your very best work. Dina Foropoulos provides a variety of choices for the best priced frames for the students art works. The studios class makeup policy to recoup missed sessions is generous and beyond fair. Other art class programs don't let you make up classes, it's just your loss, oh well. With Dinas compassionate understanding of busy schedules allows all the students to have a full value for the class price. Dina and Paul are caring and generous and once you become a student here you are spoiled and pampered. Classes are reasonably priced and the friendships I've developed will last a life time.
