Student Testimonials
“I had to email you again because I just finished a mural class in CA and it brought to mind how superior the class was that I took with Pascal earlier this year. Your whole school is by far more professional and I longed for Pascal's style of teaching. Although the class I took was more about how to construct a mural than to paint it, the comparison to your clean and organized school is unsurpassed. I just wanted to let you all know that I loved the class. It was an incredible experience and I am amazed at the trompe l'oeil that I completed. I am in awe of Pascal's talent and his ability as a teacher was unsurpassed. I feel privileged that he would share his knowledge with me and I hope I will be able to take other classes with him in the future. Also, your organizational skills from the class notebook to the lunches, and right on to your assistance in rolling my canvas (by the way it made it home without any damage) were invaluable. I finally had a chance to read the notes when I got home and they were more comprehensive and useful than any other notes I have from other classes. You guys have a dream team there…. I just wanted you to know that the class exceeded my expectations and I am thinking of everyone today and wishing that I would have taken the cherub class too. Keep in touch and put me on your email list if you have not already. Thanks again”

“I wanted to tell you, and hope that you will pass on to Sean, what a worthwhile experience I feel we had.
I am finding myself looking at new ways to represent form on a two dimensional surface. I didn't want to mention it because I felt that I could not live up to the hype, but I have 3 degrees in Fine Arts, including a Master of Fine Arts and 8 years of teaching in area universities. The reason I mention it now is that Sean jokes about being a poor student when he was younger as well as being self taught. Results count and he has mastered his own technique and, not only does he do his own work well, he can impart that knowledge and confidence to those in his classes. I certainly enhanced my own repertoire by taking his class. Do keep me informed of future classes.”

“As a largely self-taught artist, I am normally skeptical of the value of decorative painting classes. However, the dynamic, in-depth, comprehensive teaching style of Pascal and Sean deeply impressed me. This is the first decorative painting class I have ever taken and I am extremely pleased with the results provided in only 5 days. It has truly given me additional confidence to further realize my artistic pursuits. Thanks to the entire team at The Mural School - keep up the excellent work."

"Thank you for such an amazing mural class. What a terrific opportunity you have given us to learn so many techniques in just one week. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Now that I have come down from the clouds, I am even more excited about painting. You are blessed with wonderful talents. Thank you for sharing them with us. I am looking forward to taking another class with you in the near future. Thanks also for all of the detailed information in the class notes!"

"I am so truly pleased with the level of instruction I received at your class. I have had the opportunity to show the mural to the design group I work with and to several clients. They are all just “blown away”. It is inspiring to study under people who have such a passion about their work and who are so willing to share their knowledge. There was never a time during the week that I felt uncomfortable asking questions, or asking for assistance. I have shared my experience with several other artist friends and have recommended this class any others taught by Sean and Pascal. Your studio facilities are well organized. I will be back at your studio to study again."

"Thanks for a fun week. I didn’t know trompe l’oeil painting could be so fun. Oh yeah, I learned a lot too. You guys are a great team; there’s a real balance. I’m motivated to get going in this business…learn, paint & laugh!"

"I can't begin to say thank you for your teaching ability and patience with a novice painter. Your coaching ability and careful guidance challenged me beyond what I had ever expected. I created a masterpiece with techniques that I'll have forever. You were attentive, approachable and patient with each one of the students. It was with your guidance that made me complete the piece. I will use it as a model and have already booked two new jobs as a result of the piece. So glad you're here on this earth to help folks like me gather enough courage to tackle such a project. You have a gift of teaching far superior to anyone that I've know. I know since I was a teacher myself."

"Sean is a very inspiring and easy-going teacher. One of the best experiences I have had studying various faux techniques. He would stay late and when we needed something, Sean would provide it. The insight that he provided through his experience and talent has brought me to another level. I will definitely be taking additional classes from him."
