I just want to thank Paul and Konstantina for this amazing experience with learning. Paul, you are an amazingly patient and competent teacher. I truly respect the time, effort, and instinct for people and how to help each one differently that you have. I am so grateful for this time to simply be with my creative side and to relax into learning and growing. My very first project with you taught me so much. Thank you!

I arranged for my father (age 89) to take art lessons when he came to the area for a visit last spring. Paul and Dina have been so kind and accommodating to my father. My father, who hadn’t done anything with art in recent times, learned a great deal and regained his confidence as Paul and Dina have been so encouraging. When my father returned home to Wisconsin he made a studio area in his home and continued lessons on Zoom. It has been truly a wonderfully enriching experience for Dad and for me.

Paul’s instruction for all levels is tailored to meet each person’s needs. He is as dedicated as they come and gives the time needed to everyone with great care and attention.

Dina provides excellent support and they make a wonderful team.

The camaraderie in the classes is wonderful as one learns and develops one’s artistic skills. It’s impressive to see Paul work a canvas using his unique methods which are inspiring.

Both Paul and Dina make you feel like you are part of the family.
Highly recommend them if you are interested in exploring your artistic side.

I am thrilled to share our positive experience with Paul Foropoulos at Foropoulos Studios of Fine Arts. At the age of fourteen, my daughter began taking art classes with Paul and has shown remarkable improvement in her artwork. Paul's exceptional teaching style has not only refined her technical skills but has also ignited a deep passion for oil painting. His guidance and support have been instrumental in her decision to pursue a career in the art field.

Paul's dedication to his students is evident in the way he nurtures their individual talents, encouraging them to explore and expand their creative boundaries. My daughter, now sixteen, continues to learn and grow under his mentorship. She eagerly looks forward to each class, where she is constantly inspired and challenged to push her artistic limits.

Additionally, I would like to extend our gratitude to Paul's wife, Dina, who plays a crucial role in the smooth operation of the studio. Dina organizes Paul's schedule and manages the day-to-day tasks, ensuring that everything runs efficiently. Her dedication is evident in every aspect of the studio's operations. Dina also offers framing services, adding a valuable touch to the overall experience at Foropoulos Studios.

Thank you, Paul and Dina, for being such an inspiring and supportive team. We highly recommend Foropoulos Studios of Fine Arts to anyone looking to develop their artistic skills.

I've been a student of Paul Foropoulos for approximately five months at this point and I can confidently say he is an masterful teacher. Paul's vast knowledge, skill, and experience in multiple aspects of art are evident in his teaching. He is dedicated to pushing his students to become the best they can be, emphasizing the importance of fundamental skills and drilling them through practice, not just theory.

What sets Paul apart is his approach to teaching. He doesn't pigeonhole his students but rather observes and guides them to where their true interests and talents lie, ensuring they are ready for the next step when it is time. A good analogy is to reading; to read, everyone must start with the same basics, like the alphabet and grammar - you cannot rush it - but as you become proficient at reading (understanding fundamental concepts of art), and only then can you can begin to read subjects that interest you, which Paul can help guide you towards.

His personalized attention and encouragement to each student, with a total focus on practical art skills, makes the learning process both constantly challenging but signifigantly rewarding.

If you're looking for a teacher who will help you grow and develop as an artist, whether a complete novice or an experienced artist, come with an open mind to learn and a drive to want to be pushed to reach your full potential, Foropoulos Studio's is the perfect choice.

PS: It is also essential to mention Dina's support in making sure the entire operation continues to run is superb! Her efforts and kindness are next-to-none, and she helps makes the whole process seemless due to her tireless efforts.
