It was a great class. I loved the subject that we were learning and Alicia is a wonderful instructor. She was very patient.

This was an awesome experience. Intimate and the teacher was very knowledgeable. It was nice being in the space with all the artwork to look at. I made a gift for my daughter and it was very unique.

Alicia was wonderful. So patient, knowledgeable and helped me create a beautiful painting despite my complete lack of artistic capabilities!

Alicia was so sweet and so easy to talk to. If you had any questions, whether it was related to painting or not, she was always there to answer. She was very patient and very positive. If you didn't like your painting or felt like it was my going in the direction you wanted it to she would always find something nice to say about it and help you if you wanted her to. Overall fantastic experience, I would definitely do this again.

I always was impressed by what I saw at art galleries. When I went to modern art galleries, I always thought, "I could paint that". But, the point is, I didn't and I hadn't tried to paint it. Someone else had. This was a great intro paint course. You learn just the very basics, but you get a chance to paint a small picture. I will probably never be a famous modern artist. But, I have a much better appreciation for the things that go into constructing a painting. Well worth your time.

We had a great time. I felt like it was a good mix of using existing pictures for inspiration, instruction, and being able to be creative.

I had a wonderful time in this class! Alicia is wonderfully talented (as you'll see as soon as you enter her apartment), but most of all she was such a kind and patient teacher. Even a simple novice like me left with a painting I could be proud of, and I would definitely go again!! Thanks so much Alicia!

I absolutely loved this class! Great introductory knowledge of art and painting techniques. Fun and comfortable environment, super easy to get to. So much fun! Looking forward to taking this class again! Alicia was VERY nice, energetic, great teacher and extremely patient.

Amazing! Defiantly recommend, hope to attend again soon. :)

I hace never had a painting class before. I love colora and I love art but I've never been good at drawing or, I thought, painting. This class was great first of all our teacher made us feel like we are abke to do whatever we want to do. She gave us an overall theory knowledge before starting to paint and then we just started to have fun with colors, brushes and a blank canvas. She really knows what she's doing and knows how to help each one of her students with their particular problems. At the end of the class I discovered a new part of myself.

We had an amazing time with Alicia! Would absolutely recommend this class to anyone, and may even take another with her myself.

Seriously, so accommodating and great instruction. Kickass!

It was a wonderful time. A+

The teacher was lovely and great. The atmosphere was beyond perfect.
A lot of cool people were there. Definitely try this class out! So worth it :)

The class was taught in her home, adorned with ample paintings that act as examples of what you can choose to paint. One of my favorite aspects was that as a class, we weren't required to all paint the same image. We had free range to paint whatever we wanted- an image she suggested or one of our own ideas. She gave a lesson on basic painting regarding color, perspective, etc that was very helpful and she went around to each student throughout the class to give assistance and direction.

Alicia was a great teacher and hostess! Her lesson on design and basics was helpful in our creations. She was knowledgeable, helpful, and her expertise assisted the experience. I would definitely take this class again!

Alicia was fantastic. We had a small class, which I loved. She was able to spend time on each of our pieces. You can absolutely tell this is her passion and that she truly enjoys sharing it with others. She has pieces for inspiration or you can bring your own like I did. She really helped with technique but still allows you to make it yours! Thanks Alicia I had a lovely time and really love how my piece came out!

Alicia was amazing. I attended this class with a friend and both of us had really no previous painting experience. The weather wasn't amazing, and so the class ended up just being the two of us. We were incredibly lucky, but Alicia still held the class for us.

She went through some basics and techniques, helped us select an 'inspiration', and mix up our paints. She was an amazing, patient teacher.

Very surprised and pleased with the product. Would definitely recommend.

Really great class. Only about 8 people there and there was clearly enough room for more. She did a mini lecture before which was super helpful and gave helpful tips on how to make a visually appealing painting.

Very fun! I went by myself and still had a blast! Teacher is very helpful and my painting turned out very nice, even though I am severely lacking in artistic ability. I loved that the paintings weren't all the same. I will be back again for sure!

So much fun!! First time painting and it turned out a LOT better than I was expecting.

I really enjoyed this painting class. It was the first time I've ever done something like this and I diffently loved it! I will be doing this again. Thinking about doing a private party for my family or a kids party. Alicia was great!

I did the paint class for my birthday and me and my friends had a great time. I would recommend this class for anyone. Instructor was great for first time and experienced painters.

Highly recommended, very positive atmosphere :)

I had a great time! I haven't painted since middle school but my painting came out great. There is a lot of personal attention and it's a lot of fun. I loved that it is cheaper than a lot of other painting classes out there AND you get to paint whatever you want, rather than be forced to paint the same thing as everyone in the class.

My boyfriend and I attended Alicia's class, our first dabble experience, last Saturday and had a great time. Alicia explained some of the basics of design and painting and then we got right into it. While we were painting, Alicia moved around the room and provided a lot of help and useful pointers to everyone who asked. One potential piece of advice for class-goers would be to think about what you want to paint and bring a printout. Alicia provided "inspiration guides" that had tons of helpful ideas, but I ended up going with a photograph from my phone so I was doing more flipping back and forth in addition to putting my phone right in the danger zone near the paints. Otherwise, the class was really fun. Would recommend to anyone waiting to get a little more creativity into their day.

I had a great time in this class. We all entered with no artistic experience, doubting we would make anything worthwhile. Alicia gave us all pointers and advice on different techniques, helped fix mistakes, and showed us how to mix colors. By the end of it, we were surprised to all have created paintings we were really happy with and excited about! The set-up was also very nice, everyone had all the supplies they needed within arms reach and a main table was set up for us to pour ourselves our BYOB drinks, with glasses and corkscrews. Tables were set up in groups of 4-6 people each, and we ended up having so much fun with our table-mates that we all went to dinner together afterwards!

Absolutely would take this class again, and bring more friends next time.

Had a great time painting with Alicia. She was very attentive to all of her students and assisted with various techniques as needed. Would love to take this class again. So much fun going with groups of friends

I had an absolutely fabulous time at this class! I have minimal at best artistic abilities and Alicia created a warm and welcoming environment. The class is non-threatening, yet caters to all levels. There were people there who were very talented and she was able to provide a level of education appropriate to the student's ability and desire. My painting even turned out to be quite nice. I recommend this class for individuals looking to expand their knowledge or meet new people, friends/couples who want to get together for nice night out or groups looking for something different and fun! I would definitely do it again!

This was an awesome class! I have always wanted to take a painting class but never did. Alicia gave wonderful tips and advise on technique and how to put what you see on the canvas. Her attention to detail and welcoming environment made this class superb. Taking Alicia's class was a wonderful experience and I am so excited to take it again and work on another painting!

The class was a blast!!
We came into the class not knowing anything about painting or what to expect, and left with a memorable experience and an awesome painting. Alicia was very accommodating to all levels of painters and gave one on one attention to everyone in the class. If your looking for a night out on a weekday or weekend we would definately recommend this. We can't wait to sign up for our next class with A&L Designs!!!

This was a great class! Would definitely take it again.

This was my first painting class, and I really enjoyed it! I learned a lot from Alicia, including different ways to create various "look" for my painting. I know for sure that I'll take more of her classes in the future, and continuing learning and having fun! :)

My husband and I just completed our first painting class with Alicia. We both had a lot of fun and were very excited by the results. We like that she started off the class with helpful techniques and information, and then she came around to help us and offer suggestions when stuck. We would definitely join another class and recommend it to our friends.
