About this Event
Come to my studio and I'll teach you what I know, while encouraging you to find your own creative voice.
My philosophy
I don't believe there is a right or wrong way to paint - there are a thousand different ways to approach any painting.
However, there are results; some results you like, some you don't. The process of becoming an artist is in part- learning how to replicate what you did to get the results you like.
I guide and instruct while encouraging students to think for themselves and take creative risks.
It's good to know the basics, but painting is ultimately a form of expression. Think of it like this: toddlers can express themselves, but they do it better once they get a better grip on verbal language. Likewise, once you understand the language of painting, you'll be better able to express yourself on canvas.Private painting lessons are open to adults and kids age 12 (or so) and up.
Private lessons are available in oils or acrylics, and can be structured, focusing on color theory, technique, composition... learning the basics and applying them to paintings.
They can also be less structured for students who need help with a specific painting or are feeling stuck and need a bit of guidance.
Either way, the sessions are custom tailored to individual interests and experience levels.
Areas that may be covered: (based on your experience, knowledge and what you want to learn or create):
- materials
- color theory
- fundamentals of art
- blending
- brushstrokes
- technique
- expression
- finding your own style
- brush cleaning
- perspective
- composition
My style of teaching is fun and supportive, never rigid. I don't beleive there is a right or wrong way to paint. I am self-taught and have been painting since 1996 (and teaching since 2010.)
If you'd like to learn with a friend, semi-private lessons are also available.
