Really not a great environment, I wouldn’t recommend. There’s a very certain type of sheltered, uppity “crowd” that’s encouraged there. The painting/drawing instruction is decent for beginners, but lots of important things are left out. For example, the owner doesn’t let the students learn about brushes and instead pushes very cheap, tiny watercolor brushes on oil painting students, so that they’ll buy from them. These brushes pretty much hinder most painters because they are so small and aren’t designed to hold oil paint.nStudents also are forced to use one brand of medium, when there are plenty of others out there for different uses. Just a very close-minded environment. Especially don’t go if you want to do anything other than paint some flowers and tacky meadows. While the instructor says they can teach anything, they can’t teach portraits well and they can’t teach abstract well. Any instruction besides simple realism is going to be very sub-par.nnAlso drawing instruction is VERY sub-par. Lots of techniques are left out, and the instructor is a painter, not a drawer. I have no idea about the pottery classes, but the pottery instructor is a bit too hot tempered for my taste.

I have been taking art classes with Dori for several years and could not be more pleased with the experience. She is a caring, thoughtful, extremely knowledgeable teacher. Her paintings are so inspiring!! Taking lessons from Dori is the best step I've taken to improve my art.

A wonderful place to enjoy art and learn. Classes are available for all skill levels. Whether it is drawing, painting or pottery you will not be disappointed with your experience. I have been a student at Red Dot for 6 years and started out in watercolor and graduated to oil painting. It had been a delightful journey that intend to continue.

Red Dot Gallery has been around for years and is still a great place to learn how to paint! It’s a friendly environment that allows you to make friends with your classmates. Dori is an excellent teacher as well, very experienced and informative! And if painting is not your thing, then they also offer pottery classes. And Scott is just as great from what I hear! You also are able to display and sell your work if you develop a solid body of work, which is great if you want to get your work noticed. If you’re looking for a place to learn a new craft and to get further acquainted with your fellow classmates in the process, then Red Dot is definitely for you!

I have been going here 4+ years. Dori is an incredibly smart, competent, encouraging instructor. It is a great place with a warm, welcoming, creative environment and creative, charming, and usually hilarious conversation.
