About
* bilingual lessons (Spanish & English)
I've developed easy techniques to teach painting. I make it as easy as coloring with paint. I offer to presketch a design of your choice on a canvas. You can skip the drawing and paint within the lines. I also can offee a side by side step by step lesson on how to achieve the look you're going for. I show you the importance of switching brushes and how to load the brush correctly to have more precision when painting. I will show you how to mix colors, how to shade, and how to make things look more vivid with highlights.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
It depends on the student and their skill level.
First I talk with them about what they would like to learn to paint. If they have a specific image they really want to learn to paint I will take that image and sketch it on a canvas for them. Then I can help them step-by-step learn how to painted in and make it as easy as coloring. I teach them how to mix colors, which brushes to use, how to load their brush properly, how to make smooth lines and how to create texture.
