Pastel Class at Susan Sternau Studios
I always look forward to art class with Susan… when drawing or painting on my own I can get a bit too concerned about making sure every line and shadow is right. Susan encourages me to loosen up, dive in and draw/paint and enjoy the experience …

Susan, I had so much fun today, and I feel like I learned a lot! Thank you for today…it was truly a wonderful experience.

Painting Group Participant
I have had the pleasure of taking 10 classes with Susan. The classes were always well-planned, well-explained with a lot of study material to cover. I have learned about shapes, values, composition, creativity, perspective, head and face proportion, drawing and also painting. Susan has been able to guide me according to my interests and motivate me to get the best out of me. It was an excellent experience, thank you.
