My last workshop I taught was in July of 2022. It was a 3 day workshop where I taught fundamentals and did a demonstration to my students. I had them choose two of their favorite paintings and had them shown in an exhibition right after the show where the public was invited to see.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First, see their paintings. Decide if the instructor's work is something your inspired and impressed by. Choosing an instructor's whose work you love will make you want to rise up and be a better painter.
Then look at teaching experience. The more experience, the better the lessons will go.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should ask themselves, "what do I want to accomplish with taking lessons?"
"Does the instructor paint in a style that I like or am attracted to?"
"Based on the instructors painting skill and teaching experience, do I trust that this instructor will help me become a better painter?"
