Clara is truly amazing! I have been wanting to take painting lessons for some time as I am very much a beginner. I researched several different places online but after discovering Clara on Yelp and reading more on her site it was an easy choice. Clara was patient and beautiful in her approach which made me extremely comfortable and confident in my work. Her studio is very inviting and the outdoor space provides a serene and tranquil environment allowing you to completely let go. I highly recommend everyone to experience the beauty that is Clara. read more

Clara creates such wonderful and thoughtful paintings. She is a joy and has an infectious happy energy that warms everyone around her. I highly recommend her for any of her painting classes or if you are looking for some lovely artwork to hang in your space. read more

My adult son treated me to an art class with him at BertaArtStudio. Not only did we have the best time with our lessons but Clara, the owner, is so warm, knowledgeable and patient. We learned many methods and materials of painting. The hours flew by and my thoughts were focused on the art not the daily issues. It was like a mini-vacation. We love the art Clara has produced displayed in her lovely large natural lit studio that transformed us to another world and gave us inspirations to create. Try this for at least one lesson and you will bring home art you will be proud of and can hang up! read more

I am an avid collector of Ms. Berta's artwork - 8 pieces so far. They range from her fascinating collages to colorful acrylics. They brighten up any room. Part of Clara's vibrant, mystical personality is imbedded in that work. This is an artist on the rise. Her works are gaining in value, which make them a good investment as well as decorative art. Check out her website for a nice visual surprise. read more

Clara's art is filled with vibrancy and life, much like the artist herself. She has such a way with color, it leaps off the canvas.

Clara offers an amazing talent both as an artist and as someone who thrives on helping others unlock their artistic gifts. I have given Clara's art to my pickiest friends because even the toughest critic sees the beauty and excellence in what Clara creates. Her studio for teaching classes is so beautiful, that alone would inspire a surge of creativity even without Clara's effervescent coaching. If you want to indulge your senses, spend some time with Clara and her art. I doubt you'll regret it... read more

I have attended many of Clara's workshops and I come away with a completely new experience from each one. There are so many aspects of art and Clara has the knack of letting everything unfold according to what you want to see. I find her workshops fascinating and not like any other art workshop I have ever taken. Her classes are small leaving lots of time and space for individual instruction. You will go home with at least one completed work. read more

My daughter and I loved Clara's ladies night out. Clara helped us to create some beautiful and personal pieces of art. I never knew I could create anything, but with Clara's guidance read more

Clara Berta's art is a gift to the viewer, a gift of lush and vivid color, of depth, of perception, and a passion that refreshes the senses and leaves the soul at ease. From the perspective of one who works in a gallery, I also find Clara Berta to be the ultimate professional artist, attentive to detail, constantly refining her craft, exploring new directions of concept and creativity, and at all times of positive outlook and a total pleasure to work with in the gallery setting. read more

Clara is a fantastic art teacher. She is patient, encouraging, and fun. Her studio is the perfect place to create. With just the right music, the tools, and the ambience one can't help but to enjoy the creative process. I highly recommend Clara and her classes. You are in for a treat. read more

Clara is simply a force of creative energy. Her disarming charm is the key to her restorative art classes. Not only does she provide a beautiful space for self-expression through art, but she also inspires her students to go deep within themselves and explore their inner emotions. Her nurturing guidance and spirited encouragement are what give her students the confidence to discover their own, unique talents and creatively express themselves through the canvass. read more

This is MARVELOUS!!! I've bought couple of artworks in France before I moved to California with my family this year and I must say none of those paintings can stand Clara's. Her artwork creates some kinda dialogue and message to me and I just can't stop staring at it for few seconds every blessed morning. It's just inspirational. Don't look further, just get to Clara studio and trust me, you'll get a perfect match of the type of art you've always craved for.... I'm looking forward to buying more of her paintings this Christmas. Keep it up Clara. Thank you read more

Clara is a phenomenal artist and teacher! She brings a new and interesting twist to art that is so refreshing and fun. Being a Feng Shui Interior Decorator myself, the energy and vibe of her studio allows the inner artist to creatively come out - all while - thoroughly enjoying oneself in the process. I highly recommend everyone experience Berta Art! read more

Here you will find an incredible and vibrant space to create art. I really enjoyed my experience with Clara. I am very happy I went and took these reviews seriously! read more

Clara's art is beautiful and transformational. The setting is peaceful and conducive to centering to find your true expression. Her energy is supportive and inspiring. Thumbs up! read more

My wife and I have experienced Berta's gallery and she is a genuine artist. She loves her work and is truly connected to each piece that she creates. read more

I just spent a rainy (in LA!) Friday night at Clara's DTLA studio/gallery for an extremely enjoyable pre-Valentine's Ladies Paint Night - an idea concocted in the class I attended a couple of weeks ago. Another student and I brought friends but, like at any good party, everyone clicked quickly, and chit-chat, cheese and wine flowed before the paint did. We began working by letting loose on a large canvas, each of us squeezing different colors as we pleased as we circled it together. We made a mess, but had fun doing it! Then, as always, Clara shared the inspiration for a number of her techniques and how she developed them into her own. We worked with textures, mixing colors, and strategically adding and taking away paint on the canvas. While things were drying, we played with charcoal in the style of an artist she's been studying. The evening was fun and very relaxing but energizing creatively. Everyone did something very different than the others and left the room with an interesting, colorful, abstract painting - a great reminder of a great night! read more

I attended Saturday 3 hour workshop and found it very inspiring and exciting. I brought back a couple of nice abstract paintings of my own to hang at my house. Clara is very open-minded, friendly, warm and very good at teaching this very difficult subject of abstract painting. She encouraged me to keep painting with multiple methods (hands, sponges, rollers, pallet knives etc) being focused on my emotion and imaginagion. Process was very intuitive, improvisational and spontaneous. It was one of a kind experience unlike other more traditional art schools. I highly recommend her class. read more

I LOVED this class it was so fun and free. I learned a lot and many different ways and techniques of art. Also Clara is so sweet and kind and a EXTREMELY talented artist herself. I would definitely recommend this class to my friends. :) read more

I live about 2 hours away from Clara's studio so I researched carefully to find a class which would fit my needs. I loved the class! I do not consider myself an artist but rather someone who is curious about what could be hiding in the depths of the right side of my brain. Clara is most certainly very talented and accomplished but she is just as warm and sincere and she encourages people at any level to be creative without judgement or regard to level of expertise. read more

A few years ago, I discovered a new passion: painting and mixed media. Having a background in architecture and graphic design, I have been able to "walk alone" through the path of "self-learning", at least in the beginning stages. As the years passed by, I only found time to start a painting during each school summer break. I started to feel frustrated, because each piece took me too long, and at the end I lost the inspiration necessary to finish them with an acceptable result. This year, I decided to find a teacher who could inspire me and help me develop my abilities before the summer would end, so I could continue painting during the year without interruptions. It took me one class to find myself again inspired, and by the end of my third class, I could not stop the ideas flowing from my head. Clara is an amazing teacher, but even more important than that, she is an amazing human being. She helps her students, provides ideas and creates an atmosphere that is conducive to creating and expressing the students' inner self. read more
