Edward Mallory Fine Art

I met Edward at an art show in Loomis, CA. I immediately signed up take a lesson. Edward is a great teacher. I have learned so much from him. I have taken five classes from him and hope to take more. He as such a great ability to help the student see how to mix the paints and lay them down on the canvas. Each class I have walked away feeling great about the experience.

Edward is a great teacher. He is very knowledgeable and explains color very well. His classes include great handouts for me to review at home. Hes friendly and is willing to help me personally with my art questions.

Having taken many classes from Edward, I find him to be a patient and talented teacher, good in private or group lessons. As an impressionist painter, he takes a “painterly approach” by blocking in, putting in darks and cast shadows, then transition lights and then lightest lights. He taught me value. He said , “If the values aren’t right, the painting won’t work’. Additionally he goes over saturation, temperature, color mixing, warm/cool colors, and when/how to gray down color and many other things. He taught about keeping edges soft until the last minute, and how to achieve atmosphere. Edward does a good mix of demonstration/teaching, and working with you to help your painting achieve it’s goals. I learned about brushes, tools, and techniques as well. Great all around instruction!!

Edward knew his subject, was well organized, taught the full time, and answered questions as they arose. I particularly liked his sharing his palette paint choices, both limited and expanded. He was personable and knowledgeable and I enjoyed the class.

Ed is a fantastic teacher for me!! I am new to oil painting and nervous about it. But he has taught me much in 2 months period with his years of experience. He is the most patient, kind, and encouraging teacher you could ask for!!

Edward is very helpful and caring. He is uplifting and a great teacher. I have enjoyed the classes I have taken from him and look forward to taking more!
