One of the quickest and most efficient ways to improve your painting is to study privately with a qualified instructor. It is also a great way to learn a new medium. If you are a watercolor painter and you always wanted to try oils or acrylics or vice versa, starting with solid instruction makes for a much more enjoyable learning experience.

I work with teens to adults and with beginning to advanced painters and tailor my instruction to the specific needs of the student. My instruction is about traditional, representational painting. I draw and paint along with students and offer advice on such things as materials, technique, color mixing, and design. Students can select the type of subjects that they want to paint. I also have a large library of art instruction books and magazines that are always available for extra inspiration.

If the student chooses and the weather allows, lessons can be done in plein air at locations like Mill Creek park.

Flexible scheduling allows you to pick the time and day that is best for you. Classes can be scheduled 9-5, Monday thru Saturday. For cost savings, you can take lessons with a friend, or with a small group of four or less.

Areas of study include: oil, acrylic, watercolor (traditional and on Yupo), drawing and pastel. Figure drawing/painting is also available, however there is an additional model fee.
