Learning from Brendan has been a wonderful journey!! Through Brendan’s amazing eye for detail he leads others to see how to improve. He teaches on the level of the learner without jumping in to paint for them, unless it’s applicable. He has such a wonderful, accurate professional way of teaching and bringing the artistic ability out in every student. Brendan is accepting, nonjudgmental and compassionate. I recommend Brendan to anyone looking for an art teacher!

He is a masterful teacher! He demonstrates and adds to our experience with positive instruction and suggestions for our work. He is dedicated to each person in our class, despite the fact that we are all varied in our levels of expertise! He is low key and very positive. I love class because of the tone he sets.

Brendan is not only a master at his craft, but a master teacher. He combines his skill in painting with the ability to take every student, from beginning to advanced, to a higher level. The atmosphere in his class is always enjoyable, positive, and creatively inspiring.

He gave me personalized attention to help me improve my painting skills. I learned a ton from Brendan and have a solid foundation in oil paining because of my lessons with him.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

I like to review a few basic fundamentals with each new student--We go over supplies, and personal goals, then I teach important concepts related to drawing, value, edges, and color.

After a few guided exercises, we discuss subject matter students are interested in painting and mastering. Each lesson becomes a unique coaching/mentoring effort to help new students develop their skills and realize their own vision.

My focus in teaching is to empower each student with the skillset necessary to paint in a traditional manner, and then let them explore where they'd like to go from there.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I studied painting at Brigham Young University-Idaho earning a BFA in 2010. I had the privilege of studying with the prestigious William Whikater for many year after that in his personal studio.

After graduating, I began teaching drawing and illustration for Salt Lake Community College, and online for BYU-Idaho. I have also been teaching students how to paint after a traditional manner for over 10 years.

My personal artwork focuses on portrait comission, but I love to paint all subject matters. I enjoy teaching just as much as painting!
