About
I teach painting classes in my beautiful studio in deep ellum. My classes are small and personal. I not only teach students how to paint but how to enter their creativity without fear. I got my masters at parsons school of art and design in NYC and have been showing in two galleries. Please visit my work and class descriptions at Mgargour.com
I love working with people and helping them tackle the fear of
being creative.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When my students arrive we usually discuss a topic. I show a video on and inspirational topic and then I do a slide presentation on an art topic. I then do a demo and then the students begin working on their project. I usually begin with Drawing, composition, then value and then color mixing.

I got my masters in painting at Parsons School of Art and Design and I have studied with many teachers over the 30 years.
