Every time our family is in Santa Fe we book a group painting class with Robbi at Santa Fe Art Clases. It is such a fantastic class Robbi is so dynamic and engaging she makes the experience so fun even my teenagers love this class! It’s such a great way to spend time together as a family being creative and making art together! We love having the paintings we made to take home, best souvenir!! We look forward to this class on our visits. It’s become a tradition!

Robbi Firestone is a talented artist and a fantastic art instructor! She’s very professional and wants you to produce quality work. I spent 4 hours in a private portrait drawing class with her. She reviewed my current work by phone and determined that we should concentrate on painting the eye. She was well prepared for the class and makes it fun, interesting, and informative! She helped me paint more freely and more creatively with color. I loved the results!! I highly recommend spending the afternoon with such a talented and enthusiastic artist- you won’t be disappointed!

Dear Cam, I am so happy you feel the time we spent together was enriching, inspiring, and time and money well spent! Your portrait class with concentration on painting the eye was so much fun for me. As you know painting portraits/pictures of people are my very favorite thing to do. I'm thrilled that you feel more free and creative with color in your painting. Please send me a photograph of your final piece framed and hung in your beautiful home. I'm grateful for this kind review and that of all the things to do in Santa Fe, you feel spending the afternoon with me was a great day. I hope to see you again; next time let's do a private painting class with that wonderful husband of yours! To your creative freedom! Much love, Robbi

Robbi’s class was so much fun and her studio is adorable and located in a lovely area. I took a class with my family and we all have very little painting experience but Robbi put us at ease and showed us great techniques and we each left with a feeling of accomplishment and an amazing work of art. Robbi is incredibly kind and patient and I learned so much and feel inspired to keep painting! I would highly recommend taking a class at her studio or one of her many virtual classes. It was a nice way to connect with the vibrant local art community in Santa Fe during our trip!

Dear Christina, I'm thrilled you and your family feel enriched by your creative time painting at Santa Fe Art classes. Of all the things to do in Santa Fe, I'm thrilled that you brought your family to enjoy one another and create exquisite memories together in our sweet little art studio. I feel so happy that you loved my sweet downtown Santa Fe studio; who knew an adobe farmhouse could be SO cute? And that you had an amazing fun time with your family. I'm glad you felt at ease and had a lot of take her home value in great techniques. Yes it's amazing to feel so accomplished having created your very own artwork. Thank you for your thoughtful compliments; the biggest compliment is that you feel you learned a lot and feel inspired to keep painting!

We were so glad to find this gem of an activity. Robbi and Maria were gracious hosts and gave us the encouragement and guidance we needed to create two truly one-of-a-kind paintings even though we had ZERO experience. I strongly recommend this place to anyone including kids, teens, families, singles, couples and groups.

My teen and I took an art class with my work team and some of our favorite clients. It was a wonderfully fun and engaging experience. Most of us were intimidated by art going in, but by the end, everyone felt like an artist. Robbie has a magnetic personality and you can’t help but adore her. We look forward to seeing her new space on the plaza when we return.

Wow, super fun experience! Robbi is very nurturing and encourages exploration so my painting ended up being crazy and wonderful. I gave it to my dad for his 80th birthday and HE.LOVED.IT. We're all smiling...thank you Santa Fe Art Classes. We'll see you again!

Hey Gypsy Girl! I'm so grateful you found me all the way from Idaho! Your painting is an incredible expression of you; vibrant, dynamic, esoteric, abstract, exciting. I am grateful that we created and nurturing space together for your creativity. You are definitely an adventurer! I absolutely love painting with you. And your 80 year-old Dad? He is as wild and feral and exciting and creative and interesting and fantastic as you are. I love that the two of you created an incredible father daughter experience in Sante Fe at Santa Fe Art classes. I cannot wipe the grin from my face thinking of the two of you together. And I cannot wait to paint with you again. All the Best, Robbi

The Santa Fe art class we took yesterday with Robbi was memorable in more ways than one. We not only came home with a personal momento, but we learned that we all can create art and it is not only in the ‘eye of the beholder’…it is what others see as well. What a fun two hours! Robbi is passionate about her business and only will work with other ‘artists’ who embrace her teaching methods. If you (or your group) are in the area and looking for an authentic art class (not the standard ‘painting with a twist’ method), make plans ahead and schedule it!

Dear Patty, thank you for the amazing review! I'm so grateful that you mentioned we are not your typical "paint and wine" class. Yes! You make your own personal, happy hour, but even better…A total beginner painter comes into our art studio and learns tons of technique... inspired to continue creating no matter what! You're right, that is absolutely our passion here at Santa Fe Art Classes. Of all the things to do in Santa Fe, I'm so grateful that you and Kathy found your way to us; speaking of passionate woman! I look forward to continuing our creative pursuits together and our conversation… whether swimming in Florida or skiing with you two in Vail! I'm looking forward to seeing you both again, and hope to continue inspiring your artistry… Your friendship is stunning. Big love to you both! Robbi

My family and I enjoyed taking a class from Robbi. She is an extremely knowledgeable and talented artist who has a knack for teaching and sharing her knowledge. We enjoyed learning and applying new techniques and walked away with 4 unique paintings. Kids 10 and 14 both enjoyed - we highly recommend.

Dear Alaina, I truly cherished my time with your family. It was such a beautiful painting class. Thank you so much for your very kind words about my love of teaching, and sharing my passion for creativity. Most of all, I'm thrilled you feel you and your family learned a lot, and created the best possible souvenirs from Santa Fe New Mexico; unique paintings you created yourselves. Plus, lifelong, cherish-able memories. Your children are an absolute delight. And I'm very grateful for your high praise! And I hope that you all will come back and paint with us again and again. LOVED my time playing and paint with your beautiful family. Blessings, Robbi

My girlfriends and I had an amazing class with Robbie! We stopped by Susan’s to grab a bottle of vino for the experience. Robbie recommended the local spirit store and it was lovely!
Robbie is not only very professional and informative but she’s also hilarious and we just loved painting in her company. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! The studio is so welcoming and cozy, just a walk away from the rail yard and the plaza area. We were able to walk over from the hotel. We all left feeling confident about our artistic abilities and now have beautiful paintings to be proud of!
We will definitely return the next time we gals get together! We’re local and this is the perfect activity for a Saturday afternoon!
LOVED it!!!

I highly recommend Robbi Firestone's 21 Days to Creative Freedom Course! The daily tips and tricks are easy and simple to do, but also deliver! There were numerous times throughout the course where I had various a-ha! moments when something finally clicked. Having 21 days where I made art more regularly has done great things for my creative output, while Robbi's insights and pep talks helped to hone in both what I was currently doing and what I wanted to achieve artistically.

In the time since completing the course, I have been both making art and writing with more regularity than I have for a very long time. Regardless of if you're getting started on your artistic journey and need some guidance, or you've been at it for awhile but are looking for more support and encouragement, this is the course for you!

Dear Lilliana, I'm thrilled that you felt the 21 days program supported your art and your writing! You are a brilliant creative with so much to offer the world… It's exciting for me to be witness to your artistic journey, to support you and be guide, and encourage your creative genius. You're an extraordinary young woman and I am thrilled every time your beautiful face shows up in class, on one of our create and connect calls, or on the street in Santa Fe! Big hug and keep going girl! I'm proud of you, Love Robbi
