Stav who is 12, yrs old, has been a student at the Art of Excellence Studio since the end of 2020.  She has learned to allow the values to create edges in her paintings rather than using lines.  She has tried pastels, watercolor, charcoal, oil and acrylic mediums.  "My perception has definitely improved. By using certain techniques, I am able  to make the objects or people I draw  in the proper proportions."
Stav finishes her projects quickly.  Here are two of her recent works.

Mariana has been a student at the Art of Excellence Studio since she was 5 years old (2013).  At 15, she has a passion for selecting interesting and challenging subjects that require the application of all her skills.
In recent years, Mariana has focused her talents on figure painting and portraits. This project took moths to achieve the layered effects of the clothing using oil paint.  In addition to oil, she also works well in pastels and graphite.
