EXCELLENT Based on 110 reviews Posted on Melanie Fallis I’m so glad I signed up for a workshop with Nancy at Atelier123. She made the whole experience so welcoming, effortless and enjoyable. She is a bundle of positivity!Posted on Gazal Amin My husband and I co-painted a piece for our anniversary and it was a beautiful experience. We had so much fun and we felt so proud of what we created. This piece will live on in our home for decades to come. Thank you Nancy for your guidance, your easy and flowing energy and for your confidence in us artists.Posted on Kirsten Jordan What a beautiful experience. Like many adults I probably haven’t really picked up a paint brush in years. Nancy guided me through the whole process and at the end I was amazed at what I created. Highly recommend everyone treats themselves to this. You deserve this time and space.Posted on Grace Westcott I had a wonderful experience in my Atelier123 private painting workshop. Nancy's positivity and can-do energy is confidence-inspiring. You know you have excellent advice, guidance and encouragement right at your elbow. That took the intimidation factor right out of what was, in my case, a steepish learning curve. Nancy provides her charming artist studio, the canvas, the paints, the brushes, the painting smock... You bring what you've got, which in my case was plain enthusiasm, coupled with complete innocence of any painting techniques. Had a lovely time! And now I have a pretty painting to show for it!Posted on Shannon Laliberte I’m so glad I signed up for a private workshop with Nancy! The session went by in the blink of an eye and before I knew it, I had created a piece of art I couldn’t wait to hang on my walls. Nancy made the whole experience so smooth. All the equipment and materials were set up when I arrived and after answering a few quick questions about the words and colors I wanted to work with we were off!Nancy guided me along a clear process teaching me different painting techniques along the way. I learned so much and can’t wait to start practicing what I learned at home. This experience offers so much, I highly recommend signing up!Posted on MEB My daughter (8) was delighted with the whole experience. Nancy is a true professional and she has a special touch working with children. They worked for almost 2 hours straight, which is very hard to do with an 8-year old. I would recommend this experience to anyone with young children who are interested in art.Posted on Elesha Singh We loved creating this special painting as a family. It represents our most cherished time on vacation together enjoying the sunset on the beach. Thanks to Nancy for bringing my vision to life. It was such a wonderful afternoon painting in your studio. We will definitely be back!Posted on Paula Wemp Such an amazing experience. Nancy is wonderful at guiding with perfect tips and helping with the process. Finally I learned about the discernment part and I can’t believe what I created. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to do it again.Posted on Keethai Tharmaseelan Amazing experience with Nancy. She was able to share new techniques and create beautiful piece with my daughter.Posted on Judi I have tried painting off and on over the years, but have truly struggled to find my creative flow. My overthinking kept getting in the way. But working with Nancy truly changed that for me. Her guidance and support was so invaluable. She truly made me feel comfortable and gave me the confidence to create a beautiful painting. I am so thankful to have met her and am more than pleased with the art she inspired me to create. Thank you Nancy!
