Testimonials

I've been taking online painting classes with Mr. Mano for the past 5 months and it has been a very enjoyable experience. I'm from Chicago, US and ran into Manomaya Art School while searching for online acrylic painting lessons. While I requested acrylic lessons to begin with, I soon realized that Mr. Mano has a wealth of knowledge on various mediums. So I get to learn and explore other techniques and mediums once in a while too. He is great at providing direction and feedback, and encourages us to develop our own style, not just for the pieces he teaches but for any independent works we undertake as well.
