John Keeling Paintings

Johns’ work is beautiful. It was a pleasure to be able to see some of his art. He was so kind and patient, even though I have zero experience. Definitely going back. A wonderful teacher.

John was an excellent teacher. He really helped me with my technique. I did watercolors years ago but was pretty rusty. He helped me with what tools to use and many helpful suggestions on ways to improve my painting. He watched me paint and showed me better ways to get the effect I wanted. John is very patient and always makes you feel relaxed and makes the experience fun and pleasant. John can help you at whatever level you are at, I highly recommend John as a teacher

As a beginning painter, I was nervous about taking my very first class. John is a wonderful teacher, and my nerves were quickly put to rest. He explained the importance of using quality supplies, he demonstrated (and we practiced) several techniques, and then he helped us create our first painting. We left the class with a finished piece! On top of being extremely talented, John is warm and kind and fun to be around. His small group class was a great experience!

I took a Watercolor class with a friend at John Keeling’s studio last year. I had done watercolor paintings many years ago. My friend was new to watercolor. I learned so much from John that I have put into practice since the lesson. Everything from techniques to the type of equipment to use. He was able to help both of us even though we were at different levels. John is observant, thoughtfuL and an excellent teacher. He has a very pleasant personality and always makes you feel good about your work. I highly recommend him.

John worked so well with my son! We loved that he met David, our son, where he was, listen to his interests and worked those into art lessons while challenging him to go outside his interests as well. I also loved that John would search for ways to challenge David, bringing various art books from the library or looking for an art contest for him to enter. We moved last year and miss having John work with our son.

I just love working with John, he has a way about him that just makes you feel so comfortable and confident. Truthfully, I was very apprehensive about reaching out to a professional artist for lessons. There were very specific things I wanted to learn in order to improve my style of painting, which is very different from John's. He listened to me and totally understood what I was saying. John shares all of his knowledge and years of experience without hesitation. I have to say that John Keeling is by far one of the best teachers that I have ever had the privilege of working with.
