What participants say about Mitchell’s contemporary painting classes:
” I am really enjoying the class with Mitchell. I feel like we have needed someone like him for a long time! He is such a natural teacher, and I can tell that he is dedicated to touching on all the things that folks wrote down that they want guidance on. I feel like we are just touching the surface, and he is introducing things that are getting us out of our comfort zones and learning. I can’t believe we only have 2 more sessions! It is going so fast.”
