Ogden Art Studio

Francis is a very talented artist. He also has an amazing studio.

I commissioned an oil painting of a beloved pet from Francis and cannot adequately express how delighted we are with the piece. The piece evokes such emotion and I know I will treasure it for years to come. I have been an admirer of Francis’ talents for many years and would highly recommend him for commission pieces. He was able to deliver this oil in time for the holidays and shipped to my home in California carefully packaged. Truly a fantastic experience!

Just had our Girl Scout Troop outing experience here. The girls worked on their requirements for their painting badge. Francis was so knowledgeable and interacted with the girls. The girls had a great time and had beautiful paintings too. I would totally recommend this if you're a troop leader and you need a nice space to work on your painting badge.

We recently had our Girl Scout troop earn their painting patch. They had a great time. Francis provided more than enough information and time to the girls. They loved being able to draw what they wanted and had lots of colors to choose from. The price was also very reasonable. Thank you!

Just started my third class with Francis, my artwork has changed so much for the better. Francis is so informative and up to date in all media's of art. The learning environment he creates with his knowledge and professionalism makes this studio one of a kind. I really recommend working with Francis if you want to learn the basics or want to advance.

Francis is a genuine, hardworking and social individual who will help you with any of your Art needs. Whether you're trying to learn how to paint and draw; or have Francis create a piece of work for you in his studio, it will not disappoint! His studio is a hidden gem in Downers Grove that is stocked with creative work and various for sale items that would make a great gift for a family member, friend or for yourself!

I had recently purchased my second painting from Ogden Art Studio. There is a variety of paintings that the artist, Francis Penavic, will walk you through. He is available for custom work and provides options and ideas to match your needs. I return to the studio because of Francis's passion, remarkable talent and customer service. Most importantly, he has remained committed to delivering a piece that I will undoubtedly cherish. Take a tour of the work and meet him for yourself. You won't regret it.

Commissioned Francis to design a tattoo to honor my grandfather who is a fallen CPD officer. He was very professional and took my initial idea, sketched out something immediately and gave many more ideas on things to enhance it. Never pushed me into anything I didn't want on it and turned out a great design. Even made 2 flags out of the design for my father and uncle. Could not be happier with the results!

If you were looking for a place to learn the basics or just expand your existing talent, this is the place to go. I've visited many times and it's a comfortable atmosphere as well as an awesome instructor. Francis has amazing talent and he's willing to share with everyone. A+ place to go !!!!
