Painting classes

[Brettex]

Hi guys, apologies if this is somewhere already on the site, but I can't find anything, I'm looking for a good painting class to join. I'm pretty much a beginner but very keen. Looking to learn how to use oils, I think i'm done with acrylic. I wouldn't mind a bit of sculpture either so a general art class would be great too though. I'm thinking evenings, but any time is fine. Any recommendations are much appreciated.

Also, if anyone knows a decent artist supplies store in or around San Telmo, or a decent and not so expensive one worth traveling for it would be great to get some advice.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers!

I recommend strongly a good friend of mine, native of Uruguay but she has spent +10 years in NY (that helps to have a 100% english fluent teacher).
Furthermore she is an exceptional human being.
She has many groups during the week, in a very nice place in Palermo SOHO (Cabrera x Bonpland).

She has LIFE DRAWING classes

Her website & curriculum are here :
