Art Lessons With Ron Shepard

Susan Arrowood

I like his style of teaching. More casual than structured. Questions could be asked at any time. He worked with you one on one if you needed the help. You are encouraged to paint what you see and feel. You do not have to follow the reference photo so closely. Encouraged students to do their own thing. We do not see everything the same, therefore encouraged students to put their mark on the painting. Very patient with all and very down to earth. One person’s question can benefit all and he always asks if we are ok and “getting it”. He says most mistakes can be fixed. Sometimes they are good mistakes. I highly recommend him as an excellent teacher. I have taken watercolor, soft pastels and colored pencils. Love doing the soft pastels.

Ron always tried to teach what I wanted to learn. If we came across a deficit during one lesson, he tried to offer me way to practice that skill at the next lesson. He and I had different “likes” and we knew that and enjoyed exploring together. Having had little art instruction, there were so many new things for him to show me. He pushed me to explore going “with the flow” of the paint and colors that appeared, to be unplanned, to discover what just happens. I look forward to exploring more art dimensions with him in the future. He will personalize your lessons as you discover your own new expressions of your talents.

His concise and clear explanations. His knowledge of the subject and willingness to answer any and all questions about the subject. I learned so much more than I ever thought I would in a limited amount of time. I highly recommend him and will take more lessons from him in the future.

Mr. Ron is an outstanding an experienced teacher. Very knowledgeable in a wide variety of mediums. He is generous with he his knowledge, time, experience and skills. I find him to be in tune with each students needs. He meets his students where they are and expands their ability beyond expectations.
