Drawing & Painting

Description

For artists of all levels who wish to learn and master painting fundamentals, this class helps you with friendly, one-on-one coaching as well as inspiration from others. You will explore different mediums and techniques, color theory, conceptual developments and composition. Students will receive expert instruction in a low-stress and welcoming atmosphere. 

 

Format 

This class is an Open Studio format and features regular mini-lectures, short demonstrations and coaching to help you explore concept development, learn how to mix paint, create new compositions, and textures. Class sizes are kept small so that we can personalize each student's projects according to their needs and goals.

 

My mission for you is simple: I want you to create paintings, not pictures. I want to get you comfortable with the creative process. If I can help you make your own artwork using best practices in technique and composition, and get you further along the path of art through a wider appreciation of art history, even better. It is about finding your unique artistic voice.
