Claude Bouchard: I had painted in oil on my own for years, learning by trial and error, but when I decided to try my hand at watercolour, I felt some direction would be beneficial and I signed up for my first class at the Visual Art Centre. Was I pleased with my decision? So much so that I ended up taking additional classes for a half dozen years and was never disappointed. Not only were my teachers talented artists themselves, they also had the ability of transferring their knowledge and techniques to their students. A wonderful atmosphere to develop creatively with other talented peers while having fun. Highly recommended.

Aya Endo: The first time I went to have a portrait made under Mélissa's guidance framed, the master framer said, without hesitation: "you must be one of Mélissa Breault's students!". He could recognize Mélissa's teachings through the quality of the work carried out...! Mélissa offers very high quality lessons, giving us a solid foundation in drawing, in a calming and stimulating environment at the same time. It stimulates our artistic fiber and we manage to paint the soul of our subjects. She's the best drawing/painting teacher I've ever had!!!

Pierre Ouimet: Student of Mélissa for two years, I would have liked to have known her before.Very professional teacher, she is great.Very generous in sharing her knowledge, she also knows how to show us avenues to explore resulting in individual and motivating discoveries.I get great learning from it in a relaxing atmosphere.Thanks to an outstanding enthusiast!

david willcock: Melissa is one of the most talented artists alive today!I am fortunate enough to own a number of her works and to have been the subject of a few of her pastels, which went on to win a number of international awards, as many of her works often do!I know her personally and can say that she puts her students above all! -The only reason that she teaches and doesn't paint full time is because she loves her students.You are guaranteed a reliable, strategic approach to becoming better artist from a world renowned master of the arts!The space is out of this world beautiful and she plays lovely calm music and offers tea 😊 - all of which, I would imagine to be much more inspiring than average - Though I'm not an artist and have never taken classes with her.I know that her students must love her and that her work is amazing.Don't even take my word for it! - Check out her website and credentials!Truly an exceptional artist and an excellent person!- You would be fortunate to take advantage of her knowledge and experience while you can!She also does contacts!

Melissa devoted time to walk around our easels to advice and check on our progress. Melissa is a devoted artist, and teacher. I am looking forward to more workshops with this great instructor.

Mireille St-Pierre: I went to several art schools before finally finding Mélissa Brault’s school. I have been taking classes with Mélissa for several years and I am delighted. She shares with generosity and availability all of her knowledge and supports us, at all levels, in our learning journey. She teaches us the different techniques, notably drawing, oil painting and pastels, necessary for the development of our artistic autonomy. It is an incredible opportunity to have this great pastel artist at our side to accompany us on this beautiful artistic path.

Jann Goodwin: Excellent teachings from a highly skilled artist in a lovely studio. Melissa is the real deal and I have benefitted greatly from our sessions.

Cindy Durack: Because I have taken many art classes over the last 10 years with a variety of teachers in three different mediums, I feel confidant in my opinion regarding Melissa’s strengths as a teacher in the field. With her guidance, my drawing skills advanced far more quickly compared to other classes I have attended, while her expertise in soft pastel makes her the perfect teacher for both beginners, as I was, as well as more experienced painters. Melissa uses a meticulous and methodical approach to teaching that quickly garners results . Whether it’s the basics you’re after or refining your work and gaining more advanced techniques, Melissa meets you where you are with patience and expertise. Her knowledge, talent and generosity, when combined with a willingness to go above and beyond to support and encourage her students, make her a one of a kind artist, teacher, and human being.
