PAINTING
CLASSES
I teach oil and acrylic painting classes from
my studio. Classes meet for eight 1 1/2 hour
sessions. Every painting class is tailored towards each
student's abilities and interests. Students of all abilities
and experience are welcome.
Over
the course of eight weeks of classes, I will help each student develop
their techniques and painting experience through practice and
demonstrations of techniques and painting concepts.
Each
class is geared to each individual's painting level. I have
taught beginners as well as more advanced students to help them achieve
their own goals. Students can choose the subject matter, and
I assist with composition, paint application, color mixing, values,
form and teach some of the concepts of great painters with my knowledge
of art history.
I
believe in practice and learning through doing. While some
classtime will be devoted to the basics of painting, the main focus of
the classes is to allow the student to practice painting and develop
and use the lessons learned to build their own confidence and
abilities. It
is my desire, after eight weeks of classes, to give the student the
tools they need to continue to paint on their own. Many of my
students have a love of art and painting that is undeveloped or lacking
in the knowledge of how to achieve their goals. I believe its
my role as the instructor to get over bad habits, lack of knowledge and
allow the student to bring their talents to their full potential.
CLASS
INFORMATION
Classes are filled on a first come, first served basis.
Each class session is one and a half hour.
Classes run for eight weeks.
The full eight weeks of classes costs $300.
Palettes,
easels, rags and liquid materials will be provided. Paints, canvasses,
and brushes are the responsibility of the student. I teach both
oil and acrylic painting, but recommend beginning students to use
acrylics, as they cost less, are easier to clean, and generally
take less time than oils, which allows for more progress to be made
during the class sessions. I have a basic list of materials that
can be picked up at any art or hobby store upon request.
Class schedules are fairly flexible, with advance notice, classes can
be rescheduled during the week or in case of vacations or other issues,
a week can be skipped without losing your classtime. I just ask
that you not abuse this and notify me as early as possible if you won't
be able to attend an art lesson.
