CLASS DESCRIPTION
This fall I will teach landscape painting for the first two classes, painting the translucent subject for the third and fourth classes, and monotype painting and printing for the fifth class. All students will benefit from watching my instructional videos. These videos are usually fewer than 5 minutes long, categorized into topics relevant to study, and they are FREE for you to watch and learn.
I am committed to helping each of my student-artists achieve his or her goals. Each of my student-artists comes with unique aesthetic preferences, a different life situation, an individual level of mastery, and a specific number of hours to paint each week. Therefore, I will also be using each session to coach, critique, and instruct in the areas in which each student needs it most. Students are encouraged to bring relevant out of class work to class for critique. Enrolled Class Session students get the benefit of Individual Study and Critique ($80/hr.) at a group rate ($15/hr.)
