"Keita broke down classical painting into logical, easy to understand procedures and principles with his expertise and knowledge. Painting started to make more sense, and I was starting to see what made a painting successful instead of "paint and hope for the best." Through Keita's guidance and teaching, I discovered new ways of understanding painting from idea to technique, and slowly finding my own sensitivities about painting."

"Studying with Keita was one of the most important steps I took in my learning process for painting. He is a wealth of information and fantastic teacher who is as obsessed and enthusiastic about painting as I am. The experience truly helped me as an artist and I have not had instruction of that value at university or ever since. If you take these courses you will come out more knowledge of anything you seek to learn, whether you know what you need to improve or not. Keita is the man to guide you. A true gift to the arts in all of Canada."
