Testimonials


​"Lessons with Matt were enjoyable. I took up art lessons primarily to enjoy the process of learning something new, and perhaps develop a new hobby. Matt adjusts what he teaches based on what the student wants, and I liked that. His explanation is clear, he is a patient teacher, and most importantly he's warm and amiable, which made the classes genuinely enjoyable." ​

"I followed weekly sessions with Le Matt for 6 months and I enjoyed every each of them. Being a specialist in oil painting, he focused mainly on this technique at my request but was also perfectly knowledgeable when it came to other media (charcoal, watercolor, pastel)... He was great at giving proper structured lessons as well as letting me experiment on my own and assisting me... It was a wonderful learning experience and, last but not least, we had a lot of fun."
