Glen’s attention to each and every student works. He sees where you are and with his instructions and a lot of sweat you can become an artist. It’s magical!

The Compass Atelier is absolutely the place to come for lessons in oil painting (and other media). Glen Kessler is an amazing teacher. Always knowledgeable and enthusiastic, very energetic and affirmative, and most importantly, very devoted to helping each student achieve their best in art. He has developed an outstanding program that builds your knowledge and ability step by step in a very organized manner. It is so much more beneficial than any series of the normal art classes. Could not be more pleased that I chose this program.
