About
Scottsdale based artist who also teaches and mentors one on one art lessons through workshops and video correspondence. I have a versatile background teaching classes in
Oil Painting, Acrylic Painting and Watercolor Painting. Drawing in graphite, Charcoal and Pastels. Portraiture, Animals, Landscapes, Still Life, Abstract and more.
I have workshops for groups on storyboard series and life transitions. My website is www.robinoden.com.
I am a life long learner myself so I really enjoy the moment a student recognizes they are skilled and they are happy with their work. The joy of teaching is also in the learning. Students teach me so much.
It's all about fun for students who are beginning arts classes. Just the exploration of the materials and learning how to see as an artist is a great start! For more advanced artists, goal setting can be a great way to change things up. From one working artist to another- change is GOOD!
