Rachael Rose Art Classes
About
Hi, my name is Rachael and I have been drawing, painting, and creating artwork for many years, now. I won some of my first local, national, and international awards for my art back in high school and have been keeping up with it to various degrees ever since. I taught drawing and painting classes this past year at a local arts and crafts store and I still produce new paintings several times a month. I am a Grumbacher certified drawing and acrylics instructor and I would be happy to take on students. I have the most experience teaching beginner level adult courses, but am also willing to work with children. I love trying different things, so you are not only limited to acrylics, graphite, and charcoal. I also have experience with floral design, paper crafting, oil paint, and mixed media pieces.
I love exercising my creativity and helping others feel inspired to do the same. Art is about interpretation and style. So every piece of artwork is unique. I like helping students create an aesthetic environment that reflects the students' unique talents and interests.
