Students' comments

"I have taken both portrait painting and drawing from Noah Layne and found him to be not only a brilliant artist but an exceptional teacher. He is both kind and patient but most importantly I have noticed an improvement in my skill level. I intend to take more classes from him."
Mary Conley

"Noah is an excellent draughtsman and a caring and attentive teacher. I have taken his portrait drawing class twice now and have learnt a lot of techniques which have greatly improved my representational drawing. I highly recommend his class to anyone looking to enhance their observational skills-the knowledge will benefit your artistic practice immensely!"
Melanie Furtado

"I have had the opportunity to take two of Noah's workshops. The first was "Portrait Drawing" the other was "Portrait Painting". I was very pleased with what I learned in both classes. Noah is a wonderful instructor, very well prepared and very generous with his time and knowledge. I would highly recommend Noah's classes and would definitely consider taking another class in the future." 
Sharlene A. Stushnov

"Noah is a teacher in the true sense.  He observes, appreciates and values where each of his students are at, then offers suggestion and direction appropriate to let the artistic lessons he knows come naturally and internally to them, rather than forcing exercises or instigating reproductions.  This sharp perception is reflected in his own art, where flawless rendition of form is matched by appreciation and portrayal of a subject's inner magic.  A fantastic artist and teacher, I can't recommend Noah enough."
Greg Horne

"Thank you so much for your wonderful class. It was such a great experience. You are a terrific teacher who has an ability to instill confidence in the learner. I look forward to many more classes with you" 
Deborah Thoun
