I love my oil painting classes with Dori at Red Dot! I am a somewhat experienced painter as I had lessons growing up, and took several painting classes in college. Dori's teaching style is excellent and she explains things in a way that's easy to understand and remember. Even though I have painted a lot in the past, my technique has leveled up from her coaching and guidance. Classes are also really fun and I have met a lot of wonderful people. I had originally planned to come for a 6 week run to get back into painting but this is now a part of my regular routine that I look forward to every week. Thanks Dori!

I’m so sorry for the person who left such a terrible review that may negatively impact anyone looking for art instruction. I’ve been attending Dori’s class for a little over a year and am considered a newbie still. Most of the students in my class have been with her for a very long time. When I came in for my first class, I brought in my existing supplies also, but I appreciated Dori’s evaluation and recommendations. I mean, I’m going to art class to develop any skill I may possess. Gaining knowledge of the right tools is a gift. Art classes are expensive, and the supplies certainly are too. I’ve taken art lessons from three different instructors for well over 10 years. Their experiences and opinions with paints, brushes and palettes may differ but they all are passionate for art and teaching others. Dori is a beautiful example of this passion and dedicated her professional life to art. For anyone looking to develop their art skill, please do yourself a favor and contact Dori at Red Dot.

Whether you’ve been artistic your whole life and want to broaden your portfolio, or you are simply curious to learn if you have even a drop of artistic creativity within yourself, Red Dot is a fantastic place to learn! Dori is extremely adept at helping students connect with their inner talent in a welcoming and low stress atmosphere. Even though I have been artistic my whole life, oil painting always seemed daunting to learn. Under Dori’s excellent tutelage and encouragement, I added oil painting to my repertoire and I haven’t looked back! Within months I was creating works I was proud to share!

I’ve enjoyed my oil painting classes with Dori. I’m a novice. Dori has been encouraging, patient (extremely!) and helpful as I attempt to develop my skills. My interactions with the other members of my class have been so much fun. Highly recommend Dori if you are interested in learning!

I have loved taking oil painting classes from Dori at Red Dot! It is a highlight of my week. I have learned so much about oil painting and she also mixes in some art history lessons which are fun since I have no art background. Dori is an amazing teacher and just someone you want to hang out with! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the other people in my class too - would highly recommend to anyone looking to refine their skills or just wanting to try something new!
