Creating a 2-D rendition on canvas requires either the ability to masterfully wield a paintbrush or the strength to flatten a fruit bowl. Discover your artful brawn with today's Groupon: for $99, you get one art course at Art School # 99 in Allston (a $200 value).

Boasting both classic and conceptual training, experienced artist Alexandra Rozenman leads three different courses designed to bring out the inner creator in students of all skill levels. Budding painters can start with a Can I Paint Like That? course, where Alexandra delves into the mystique and technique of great artists to show students how they utilized color, light, space, and paintbrushes made out of deflated basketballs. Alternatively, Art Lab workshops inspire painters with five weeks of discussions and thought-provoking readings alongside plenty of time for painting. Taking artists far beyond their comfort zones and Georges Seurat connect-the-dots coloring books, the month-long, specially created art program lets students blaze their own paint trail based on a custom schedule and curriculum tailored to goals, interests, and abilities.
