Experienced tutor in Painting in New Braunfels, Al offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

As a beginner, the first thing that Al taught me was the importance of value studies when it comes to trying to get the right colors. He also taught me about depth.

Before I took his class, I had never painted anything in my entire life. With Al's guidance and patience, I am very proud of my first two paintings. I never imagined that I could create this level of art. I have posted my paintings on my social media accounts and have gotten many compliments. I have rightly given credit to my talented art instructor. I recommend Al Slavin to anyone regardless of your level experience.

Mr. Slavin is a gregarious, engaging instructor. He delights in sharing his knowledge and is willing to change his teaching style based on the needs of his students. He effortlessly juggles students of varying skill levels. Keeping his good humor throughout the numerous questions, he answers them all with intelligence and in an open ended manner that encourages discourse. I cannot think of someone I would enjoy learning from more.

Al readily shares his talents and techniques through demonstrations and individual guidance. He displays patience with our individual levels and does this all with a great sense of humor.

He is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge in painting with oils. He is also very patient and kind with all artists whether they are just beginning or have been painting for a while. He also has a witty personality which makes him a very likable teacher.

Al is a wonderful artist and great teacher. He is very patient with us as we are introduced to new concepts and we strive to understand them. He takes the time we need to get to that understanding until the “light” goes on!!
