Leslie Ehrin Fine Art Lessons

Although I am classically trained in painting from Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and have undergraduate degrees from University of Pennsylvania, I teach as an intuitive creative colorist; working with texture, color, composition, line, form, values, light and shade to develop dramatic images with emotional content.

I am known as a landscape painter and abstract painter so I teach both using a variety of creative tools such as a blender to mix paint. In drawing on a wide range of inspiration from nature,using photography and plein air sketches on site, I teach students how to create exciting landscape paintings and also teach methods for going within to paint intuitively and abstractly.

Since 2000, I have taught at numerous local and regional art centers, have taken groups painting in Italy, have taught plein air painting privately and have led team building and creativity workshops under the name of Paintbrush and Palette. I have exhibited and sold my own award winning work under the name Leslie Ehrin Fine Art at U Penn's Burrison Gallery, at Cabrini College, through commercial galleries from Florida to Nantucket,at art centers, fundraising art shows, in art festivals, art fairs, on the web and via corporate art advisory firms worldwide. My paintings are owned by corporate and private collectors on four continents. My work can be seen on facebook under Leslie Ehrin and Leslie Ehrin Fine Art and on LinkedIn.

Further, I teach painting on glass and other substrates beyond canvas. Additionally, I am an award winning children's book author and writer so I combine creative writing and journaling with art making processes in some classes to enhance creative growth. Contact me if you want to grow your artistic spirit,or heal your life by bringing color to it, through painting or By combining painting and writing for greater creative expression.

I love helping students find their own creative mode of expression, love helping others learn to paint as I love to, and I enjoy helping students find their own "voice" through making art.
