Frequently asked questions

First, I like to get a feel for where they are in their artistic growth & what their expectations are for the class. I have an 8-week/16 hour curriculum that covers basic painting elements, such as composition, color and paint application. I demonstrate how we can enhance photographs to use them as references for our finished paintings. By then end of the class, they’ll have a finished painting, whose elements work well together & they will understand why it works. 

BS, Art Education, SUNY, New Paltz and a certificate in Graphic Design, UC, Davis, plus numerous workshops & forty+ years of painting. 

I ask $30.00 per two hour session. The student supplies all their own materials. 

I did student teaching in college & have volunteered in several classrooms. I trained my workforce development staff for over 20 years. Several years ago, after retiring, I began hosting Paint ‘n Pour Parties, which lead to teaching individual students. 

Mostly women and children. 

Awhile back, I did 30 portraits in 30 days, which really helped ease my fears around doing portraits.

Look for someone who has loads of painting experience, but who is kind & patient & interested in helping you learn & grow.
