Foropoulos Studios of Fine Arts, Clearwater FL

Amazing Studio. One of my families most valued art pieces was done by Paul Foropoulos some years ago and we will treasure it forever. If you haven't taken a class there you are missing out on learning from a true master.

Paul is a great artist that has an even greater passion for teaching others, he never forces you to draw something you don't want to, and even while helping you, he will ask you if you like it so far, he tailors your experience to your likes and dislikes while still challenging your skills! And I think that's a great skill for any teacher of any kind to have:)

Love this place! My daughter has really been able to hone her craft! She’s made so much progress!

The time, patience and ability to teach while enhance anyone's ability is priceless. The positivity in the class is inspirational and encouraging. Worth every penny!

I have been taking the painting class and I could tell you it is the best thing I have done for myself. I recommend everyone to try it if you are serious to learn how to paint.

Foropoulos Art Class helped me to develop drawing, shading, and sketching skills. The teacher is very skillful at communicating and guides me in the right direction in a professional manner.

I painted in a few different mediums over the last few years however my passion has been with oils. I am mostly self taught but have taken a couple of lessons here and there. I felt my art skills were disjointed and I lacked the basic knowledge needed to become a great artist. After a couple of years of research trying to find the right art instructor, I found Foropoulos Studios of Fine Art. I feel so truly blessed to be a student of Paul's and to have found this studio. His art and teaching skills are fabulous. He has the patience and keen artistic eye to take each student to an advanced skill level. He has taken me back to the basics and I walk away every week feeling my skills have improved because of him.

Paul's wife, Dina, works with Paul to organize and run the studio. They are a wonderful team. Paul instructs and Dina organizes our classes and schedules. She also is very talented. Dina matts and frames not only all of Paul's art work but accepts commission work from others. They are both very kind and very nice people.

I highly recommend taking classes from Paul regardless of your skill level. I am amazed each week watching him teach others and seeing their accomplishments.

I had never taken any art classes before, and Paul has been a terrific instructor. I was surprised that, under Paul's masterful guidance, even my first sketch was lovely enough to frame and display on the wall. I have no doubt that Paul can help anyone become a better artist, and I look forward to seeing Paul's and Dina's friendly, smiling faces in class every week.

Wonderful and inspiring instruction by a very experienced instructor. Paul is a patient teacher and is methodical in teaching the arts. It is an honour to learn from him! This class is helping me truly refine my oil painting skills. I highly recommend this class. His lovely wife Dina makes sure to ensure that It is a welcoming environment for all people who love the arts. Everyone is truly made to feel welcomed. From beginners, to more experienced artists, there is something for everyone to feel engaged. Hands down 5 plus stars!:)

I just recently started art classes at the Foropoulos Studios of Fine Arts and have enjoyed the welcoming warm art loving environment. Paul is a very successful and knowledgeable artist with decades of experience and he provides you with a rare opportunity to learn from one of the best! I feel very fortunate to be around such talented aspiring artists in an excellent learning environment. Paul and his lovely wife Dina are very kind and encouraging and have the unique ability to bring the hidden raw talent out from the students thru proper art instruction and mentoring regardless of the students prior art experience. It's a fantastic place to grow your artistic expression among others who also strive to become better artists.

I found Foropoulos Studios when I was looking to expand my art endeavors. I searched several options in my area before I decided on working with Paul. And boy am I happy with that decision. Paul is a wonderful teacher. With his encouraging manner, he is able to push each student to their utmost potential. In the first couple of projects, I was able to create quality drawings that I did not think I had in me. Foropoulos Studio is like a family. We all share our work and support each other, no matter what level of an artist we are. I highly recommend you consider Foropoulos Studios to start and/or continue your art journey.

Paul and Dina are a great team. They are very in tune with their students. Paul is a fabulous artist and a great instructor. He puts a tremendous amount of energy into connecting with everyone and mentoring to each level of ability. I am so glad they took me in. I couldn't have received a better experience. I would highly recommend them if you want to build your skills and further your talents.

I have been a student at Foropolous Studios for about 6 months now and have just completed my first major drawing. It turned out more incredible than I could have imagined. I am so proud of and excited about the skills I am developing as a result of Paul's teaching. I have always experimented with making art, but never had any formal training or real skill to speak of, but now I see that changing. I am looking forward to the day that I can call myself an artist, I know that this course of study will get me there! If you are an artist or even someone who wants to be and you have the opportunity to study under Paul Foropoulos you should. He is a once in a lifetime teacher and we are so lucky to have his expertise.

We love these art classes! The teaching, community, and intention for development and success is superb!

I am a new student at the art studio. I have always wanted to receive instruction from a professional to see what talent I do have. I found the right place. Not only am I getting great training, everyone in class is great, we have great fun, learn from a great artist and the cost for the training is great (don’t tell Paulo). If you have always, or just recently decided to try your hand at painting, I suggest you pick up the phone and schedule an appointment.

I have been looking for a studio like this for so long! I've always admired art and wished I could create it myself but I never felt I was good enough. I decided I wanted to take lessons from an expert and someone who could really teach me the craft for real. That is exactly what I found here! In just a few lessons I feel like I've improved so much. I went from drawing flat and disproportionate objects to creating art with real perspective and dimension and I can't wait to see what comes next. Thank you so much Paul and Dina for creating a wonderful studio that I look forward to going to every week.

I came to Foropoulos studio of fine arts in hopes of expanding my knowledge and love for art. This is the perfect place. Paul and Dina are the sweetest people and Paul is an absolutely amazing teacher that has allowed me to already learn so much in just a few lessons. Dina works so hard to keep everything organized and everybody happy. She truly brightens everyones day. I look forward to this class each week. I 100% recommend:)

Paul is an excellent teacher. If you really want to develop into a true artist this is the place to go.

It has been an honor to learn from Paul. I have been able to improve my technique and be more aware of my potential. Paul is an amazing artist who has a heart to teach and transmit his experience and knowledge with such patience and dedication. I definitely recommend taking art classes here!

Paul is an amazing teacher and is there to guide you every step of the way throughout your painting journey which has made me feel more at ease. Also Dina ensures that there is a welcoming environment and that the studio is a comfortable place to work at. It feels like an art family. Overall I highly recommend this place if you want to get into art.
