Testimonials

“If we could give 6 stars, we would! We had an amazing, informative, well structured and fun time at The Florence Art Studio. Gary, Alessandro and Margherita taught us exactly what we came for, and so much more... They were very professional and pushed us to be far better artists than we could have imagined. We’ll miss our laugh at the coffee shop in the break and we’ll be back for sure!”

“As a cautious lawyer trying to improve my painting skills I thoroughly researched short courses at The Florence Art Studio. The testimonials were very impressive and my expectations extremely high. But could the studio be such a wonderful place to learn? Could Gary Adcock really be such a remarkable teacher? Well I’m back now and yes, yes, emphatically yes, it was all I had hoped for and more. If you have the opportunity take it and go, you will not regret it!”

“I just spent a month at The Florence Art Studio. It was my first serious drawing course, and really challenging. It was intense, and I learned a lot. I’m very happy that I now have the means to work and to progress in realistic drawing. Gary is an amazing instructor; very patient, encouraging and able to explain in different ways to help you understand. I now feel confident to practice and practice. Thanks Gary! I will definitely be back for the next step: Portrait and Live Model drawing.”
