Everything happens for a reason, and I believe finding this place and meeting Sandra and Fred were part of that beautiful plan.
I’ve been taking painting classes with Sandra, and since I started, I’ve been so happy. Her calm and gentle energy feels healing she’s always positive, kind, and full of light. You can truly feel how beautiful her heart is.
She gives her best, teaches with love, and shares everything she knows. I’m so grateful to be part of this place even though it’s a 30 minute drive from my home, I come with joy every time. 💛

My friend and I came in for a class with Fred and we learned a lot! Fred was able to show me techniques with brushes and palette knives, answer all of my product questions, and helped me paint a beautiful picture! Now I feel like I can pick up this old hobby again with confidence, and I will definitely come back to learn more.

I highly recommend Urban Art Studio for art classes. I’ve been taking drawing classes with Fred and have really enjoyed them. The classes are very reasonably priced, flexible to schedule, and the one-on-one teaching allows you to progress through the lessons very quickly. I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in my sketching in only 3 classes.

Stephanie Pilieci⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful date night at the Van Gough Sunflowers paint night – Fred and Sandra are lovely people who are passionate about art and fostering creativity. This is not your regular paint night – they encourage you to be creative and are there to provide guidance – they are very patient, attentive and help you as much as you want – very good value for money with some talented artists! We will be back 🙂

Royal Mobile ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My wife is taking art classes here and is really enjoying it.

Farhad is really fantastic and supportive with his instruction.

She purchased a package of sessions with no regrets and looks forward to continuing her sessions at his and his wife’s art studio.

My wife has taken other classes through the City and I can tell this has definitely been her favorite. She even took our daughter for a session and they both came back with incredible pieces of work.

I encourage anyone looking for classes, beginner or advanced to check out this studio.

I would highly recommend Urban Art Studio’s events for couples who would like to try something new. Fred was an amazing teacher making sure to teach us the right techniques to use while we progressed through the class. We ended up with a painting that I would proudly hang on my walls and it’s all thanks to Fred’s efforts.

Did the Starry Night Sky date, and it was an excellent two hour evening date! There was so much joy in the room, encouragement and creativity. The guidance and instruction was very inciteful and manageable—resulting in a fantastic painting at the end, a lot of learned techniques and an all around great time! The studio had a bunch of great snacks and it was such a thoughtfully crafted experience! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone.

Jonathan Kraft⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fred was honestly the best art instructor I have had and was very keen in getting to know how I envision art and taught me how to use my skills to showcase my art to the fullest potential. I am amazed how knowledgeable he is and the love he has for art and getting to know how people like myself envision art and to showcase me how to get better. I love when I come here and have a peace of mind knowing that this art studio lets you showcase art how you are supposed to envision it

Svitlana Kolodko⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fred and Sandra are fantastic instructors, I was working in the studio every day for two weeks in June. I amazed myself with the incredible art I produced. Fred is a lexicon of art in all aspects, willing to dispense his knowledge with joy and enthusiasm.!
I miss them. Now I am working in Yellowknife, but as soon as I can, I will be back. If you have dreamed of becoming an artist, let Fred and Sonya lead you on your path! I did… no turning back now!
William Porter⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing art classes! Mr. Fred is a fantastic teacher – very calm, motivating, inspiring and understanding person! I am a level lower than a beginner when it comes to art. I joined the art classes around August 2025 and when I see the tremendous progress I made in drawing, I see that as unbelievable! Thank you Mr. Fred for believing and keep pushing me towards my best.
Jain Sam⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I signed up for watercolor classes with Mr. Fred, and I’m very happy I did. The studio feels super cozy and welcoming, it’s got this creative, homey vibe that makes you want to paint all day. It’s a family-run studio, and both Fred and his wife, Sandra are amazing artists who make everyone feel comfortable.

Each class comes with really good-quality supplies, and every time I go, I learn something new, different techniques, new ways to look at colour, and just how to enjoy the process more. Fred is such a kind, funny teacher. He tells great stories, cracks jokes, and somehow keeps you learning without it ever feeling intimidating.

They even keep snacks and drinks out for students, which is such a nice touch. One evening, Sandra lit a candle for me before heading out and leaving me with Fred for class, such a thoughtful little moment that made me feel really welcomed and showed how much they care about everyone who comes here..

If you’ve ever wanted to try water colour or any painting classes they offer , I can’t recommend them enough. Great prices, great supplies, the best atmosphere with the most talented teachers.
