Phoenix Art Workshop

Great shop with friendly, helpful staff, offering quality service and workmanship. Excellent selection of products for both the artist and the collector - media, tools, frames, and more - with art classes available for art enthusiasts of all ages and skills. All at very competitive prices! Well worth the travel from in town or anywhere else. Do not miss this shop! -Keith Martin, a very satisfied customer

Very expensive, but otherwise the staff are very nice.

Great service from Mark, Bronwyn, Michelle, and the whole team at Phoenix. Excellent array of supplies and incredible knowledge and creative insight from staff!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Classes are great value. As an instructor, Mark is highly skilled, incredibly generous with his knowledge and very encouraging.

I came here to buy a small paint brush and some art supplies for painting a model car. Phoenix Art Workshop had just what I needed :). Will check out their art workshops soon

Very helpful staff. They offer great classes too. Check out my final project drawing - so much fun!

Simply, Phoenix Art Workshop and Studio were my saving grace this past autumn. Mark's online and in-studio workshops were absolutely amazing. I personally preferred attending workshops in-person to receive more feedback as I painted along. Mark is a very helpful and generous teacher - and the staff at the store always treated me kindly. Highly recommend! I'll be back in 2022!

I took multiple art courses throughout high school and have currently been self-teaching for a couple years, aiming to apply for art school. I recently attended some workshops at Phoenix Art Workshop with Mark and it has helped me improve immensely. I've taken the Open Drawing Studio, Drawing the Portrait, Saturday Life Drawing, and Beginner Drawing II workshops. These courses have helped me strengthen my foundations and learn new methods for drawing accurately. I’ve noticed large improvements in my compositions and shading techniques that help me create pieces that allow me to guide the viewer’s eye to the points I want their attention drawn to, whether it’s a still life or a portrait of someone. These courses have also helped me build a much stronger portfolio than what I initially had and Mark was so kind for taking time after class to give me some feedback on my portfolio. He is such a nice and patient person who is both an amazing artist and teacher. When I just started, I was scared to be in a class for the first time since I left university due to anxiety, but Mark and my classmates were so friendly and welcoming that I immediately felt very comfortable in class. I’ve been having a great time learning new skills, meeting other artists, and working on my confidence. I would highly recommend taking some workshops at Phoenix if you’ve always wanted to learn how to draw or paint or want to improve your current skill level. It’s a great way to meet friendly artists with similar interests and it will help you elevate your work quickly!
