5.00Superb! Fabulous location in a very fancy hotel (but in a quiet, beatifically decorated room) which was easy to find - just tell the doorman you are there for the painting experience and he will direct you as reception can get busy. My husband came under duress but even he enjoyed the mix of practical art (mixing our own oil paints and painting a small canvas) and history talk (on Amsterdam, Rembrandt, painting, pigments, etc.). Eric was genuinely interested in what we knew as well as sharing loads of information. No artistic skill required, attend and enjoy it at whatever level you are.
Favorite activity of our trip!

5.00This was an amazing experience! It was located in a perfect place with relevant Rembrandt history. Learning about the colors that he used and then mixing them yourself was very fascinating and will make you appreciate the art that you see from the time period even more! You’ll also paint a small piece for yourself! Eric, the instructor, is extremely knowledgeable and really makes the whole experience very special. I highly recommend!
Worthy of Consideration

5.00The instructor is so knowledgeable, and he mixes a bit of history while guiding participants in the mixing of pigments and linseed oil in the way Rembrandt would have in his time. I’m very glad I went!
