Student Testimonials

"In the past two years, I've studied with Eliza on several occasions and with each opportunity, I grew as an artist because of her wealth of knowledge and her ability to share it in such a logical and articulate fashion. In the world of classical drawing and painting, it is vital that foundation concepts are clearly presented and understood - these are skills that Eliza possesses which allow her students to thrive under her tutelage."

Trudy M, student from Wethersfield, CT

"I am fortunate to have studied drawing and painting with many talented artists and I count Eliza among them. As a teacher, she imparts her knowledge through thoughtful, logical instruction and individually guides each student with constructive feedback. As an artist, she conveys her passion by generously sharing her work, inspiration and thoughts on various art topics, further enriching the learning experience. I enjoyed the relaxed and positive atmosphere of her classes and am a better artist for having studied with her."

Deanne N, student from Wethersfield, CT

"I've been hoping to find instruction on how to paint like the great masters for several years. I was delighted to find exactly that in Eliza Moser when I took a portrait workshop with her at the Springfield Museums. During the workshop I learned that she taught private lessons. I began the private lessons with her last winter on a weekly basis and have been delighted with the results. She is an excellent teacher and has helped me enormously to paint several oil portraits over the past several months. 

Her own work is exquisite and I feel honored to be taught by someone who is so talented and experienced. Her teaching style creates an experience that is both comfortable and collaborative."

Denise M, private student from Springfield MA

"I took classes from cast drawing and painting with Eliza Moser as well as a few of her portrait classes and have been very satisfied with the quality of her teaching. 

She has an academic step by step approach that will absolutely help any of her students wanting to improve their drawing and painting skills.

her training from Florence Academy is strongly showing in her classes and I feel that I benefitted tremendously from it."

Veronique F, student from Wethersfield, CT

"My daughters and I have been Eliza's private students for over a year, and the instruction we have received is invaluable. Eliza is an amazing teacher, who not only has a world-class classical training and is an outstanding artist herself, but also is very generous in sharing the most important concepts and techniques with her students. 

Eliza teaches art as a rigorous discipline, with keen observation at its foundation. At every step in her instruction, Eliza teaches us to discern the subtleties in each element in the work, such as composition, color and lines. With her experience in art, she can always help find the most needed area for change, and is always patient and encouraging in helping her students to come up with a good solution. 

Even though I have received much instruction before, none have helped me improve the quality of my paintings nearly as much as those from Eliza Moser."
