What Students Say
My "Stroke of Color" art class is the highlight of my week! Lynda is truly gifted, both as an artist and an educator. I love that she encourages her students to be true to their own style. Personally, I've experienced a fundamental shift in my creative approach and artistic development thanks to Lynda's teaching and mentorship.
I have been a student of A Stroke of Color for twenty-five years. During those years, Lynda has presented and demonstrated new ideas, supplies, and support to help every student feel comfortable. I always look forward to my classes because she has helped me reach the next level. Her purpose in teaching is to take students out of their comfort zone and on to the next level.
I have been studying painting with Lynda Montefusco in her A Stroke of Color studio for over 20 years. Lynda is not only an exceptional teacher but also an accomplished artist. There are three things that stand out about her — (1) Lynda is an expert in color in various mediums (oils, colored pencils, and acrylics); (2) she has an uncanny ability to see where a student's painting needs to change and provide apropos instruction for improvements; and (3) she opened up the vibrant world of painting with transparent oils, which has been transformative for me.
