Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I treat all students as if they are beginners teaching paint properties , colors ,color mixing . I do a series of exercises to loosen and liven their works . Most of my students leave energized and come back for a second session . I am a certified art teacher rather than just a painter and understand process with the ability to convey my message . I can mix beginners and intermediate with success . The beginners have success as they listen to all instruction and create beautiful works They also learn from the intermediate painters. The intermediate learn from the beginners and loose there " mold" by viewing the beginners successes as good listeners . It's a win win .
