Teaching Method
My teaching style is a balance of structured lessons based in the foundational principles of painting and individual freedom of expression. My classroom is always a non-judgmental and supportive environment. And while I have a proven program that I follow, I also taylor my teaching to suite each students natural interests.
Learn to Paint Lots of Things
Explore a variety of subject matter including landscapes, still lifes, peoples, urban scenes and more.
Beginner
The bare-bones beginner learns the foundational principles of realism and Impressionism. We will explore techniques, color theory and application, and composition. Intermediate students receive instruction suitable for their level of experience.
Advanced
Advanced students comes with a painting they are working on. I circulate during class offering suggestions and new technical possibilities. Experienced students are shown how to bring their own originality into their artwork.
How It Works
All my classes are ongoing, payable at the beginning of a month. A student can take one month, a few months, or as many months of classes as they desire. New students always start on the first class of a month. Students are always given new material each week no matter how many months they take classes.
