““Robert is a remarkably skilled and insightful artist. He’s also a very generous person. He articulates the learning process by showing you how to paint in logical steps using techniques that you will return to again and again throughout your artistic journey. What sets him apart from other instructors is that he will stick with you long after the workshop are over. He cares about each student and gives every person the equal time they deserve. His demonstrations are fun, concise, and easy to follow. 15 years later I can still rely on a quick and cheerful response when I call on him for advice. I truly appreciate his continued support.””

“I consider myself extremely fortunate to study art with Robert Spooner. I had previously studied with other teachers but when I started painting with Robert, I really internalized, learned and grew. I benefited while he generously and infectiously taught basic technical skills, as well as igniting a curiosity within me to keep growing individually. I personally see Robert as a curious, fearless seeker that is constantly pushing himself to learn and grow, and is a very hard working artist. As a teacher, he is dedicated to each of his student’s individual best. He assessed my strengths and weaknesses while patiently guiding me with a sound instructional foundation that I always fall back on as an artist.”
