  • “Robert, I learned so much in your class. I am painting now, several days a week and I find that using just red, blue, yellow, and white in your class has enabled me to mix and get the color that I am looking for. Color was always such a difficult thing…. I am also paying attention to getting the shapes correct, and not using “artistic license” thank you so much!” – Peggy A.

  • “I can highly recommend Robert Simone as an instructor.  He is firstly an excellent painter and extremely knowledgeable about oil painting methods and techniques in general. Robert is organized, articulate and able to present material in an understandable manor, while bringing a nice sense of humor to the class.  He is caring towards students and truly wants them to succeed.” - Julie Messerschmidt, Instructor, Beach Art Center, Indian Rocks Beach, FL.
  • Robert, for no other reason but drying purposes, I propped my painting on an easel in the dining room.  I pass by it constantly and I have to say, with your help, I see “it” happening  and I’m very excited.  Furthermore, I’m getting it!  Thanks, Jeanne Salvo.
