Paint With Sonny

I started teaching art to grade 2-4 kids for a year but moved to working as a painting class teacher for one of those franchise companies, eventually ending up working at Bottle and Bottega in Park Ridge. What was cool was it was so close to home, literally a stones throw away. I worked there for about a year and a half? Then I started teaching painting classes at home where I had set up a painting studio in one of our rooms. Things were going great, schedules began to fill up, then the Pandemic hit. My business never recovered. So, I had to rely on other stuff that I do to keep busy. Mostly my Live Caricature Sessions and a few Live Drawing Events, Birthday Cards and logos.

But I’ve always loved teaching painting classes, specially with kids. They’re like sponges, soaking up everything there is to learn about creating art. Not to say I didn’t have fun with the adult classes, mostly with BYOB options.

I’ve had extremely enjoyable sessions with people of all ages!
