Dwayne N. says, "I greatly enjoyed my mentoring from Daniel. I asked him to help me explore my artistic "painting" side, and, he was wonderful. He has a personable teaching style that allowed me to feel comfortable about my attempts to express myself on canvas! He was extremely knowledgeable concerning the "technique" of painting with oils and addressing the process behind taking control of a blank canvas. It felt like he was sharing his own secrets on how to successfully paint, and was very patient & supportive. He took time to answer all my questions, no matter how detailed, and encouraged me. One thing that I really appreciated, was that Daniel was very relaxed, and made me feel comfortable because he teaches by example...he actually worked with me, painting the exact same thing whilst I was doing it. I found this to be very helpful, because it provided me with real time supportive feedback, that I could visually see through his work compared to mine...allowing invaluable assistance with my personal progress/growth. Bottom line.....I not only found Daniel to be knowledgeable in art history and contemporary artist influences, but to be pleasant and fun to learn from, which was the most important for me.
