I love teaching and I have been teaching watercolor painting and drawing for 30 years. Here is what sets me apart from other painting and watercolor painting instructors:
I am very organized and I like teaching concepts as well as techniques. For example, I developed my own watercolor method to help students thoroughly know how to use watercolor to achieve the results they want, loose or more controlled styles, and I focus on understanding why a technique is used so that students learn to think on their own, versus just copying what I am demonstrating.
I have expertise in all subjects, including portraiture and abstracts. Becau

I am very patient with first time painting students. With over 15 years of oil painting experience, and 5 years of teaching experience, I bring decades of personal workshop attendance to your easel. Many of my past adult students have gone on to exhibit, won awards and successfully sold their paintings. They must have had a great instructor!! I am available for private and group painting lessons in the SF Bay Area.
FYI, Oil painting is not a quick process you see on the older "Bob Ross" 30 minute videos. I recommend a minimum of 2 hours per session to get maximum value of your painting experience. Just like golf and playing the piano, it

Most schools don't teach fundamental observational drawing and painting techniques. When Abstract Expressionism took over in the 1950s, realistic drawing was shunned and the techniques lost. Why? It was associated with Communism. Ironically Abstraction with its extremely open ended interpretations was used in Fascist Spain to promote their propaganda as well. Artistic skill can be used to communicate whatever it is you choose. Choose well please, because I will give you some powerful techniques to improve

I have taught art from the ages of preschool all the way into adulthood. I am passionate about helping people and children find their own and most rewarding way for self expression. I believe in true empowerment so that anyone can look upon their creations and feel progress and triumph. Art is symbolic for demostrating meaning and what it means to be a spiritual, thoughtful, and feeling human being. Seeing that ah-ha moment and the sparkles in their eyes is why I love teaching so much.
Proud of having many of my works published and decorated with many awards- please ask if curious about all my credentials.
