Ready to fall in love with painting? In this PRIVATE paint a long class, the student will work one on one with me ( Mrs. Muse ) to create a painting of your puppy. ( A general puppy Painting or other animal can also be chosen from my "By request" Outschool gallery ) https://outschool.com/teachers/Heather-Muse Please send me a class email message a minimum of 24 hours PRIOR with the puppy breed and fur and eye color you'd like to create! This needs to be established at minimum 24 hours in advance of our scheduled class for supply prep and communication. Thank you. All class time will be used for instruction, so supplies ( including paints ) must be set up prior to entering the waiting room. Thank you so much for your understanding. Students will follow along step by step, as I paint each detail. I will demonstrate how the paint colors work together and we'll layer these to create beautiful paintings with depth. Students will learn painting terminology and some easy to remember techniques to use in their own artwork. If they choose, students can always share their masterpiece at the end of the class. Some may prefer to upload via a file in the classroom once completing their amazing "final" touches. It's really exciting to see how proud they are of their work. Watch their skills improve with each painting they create! PLEASE NOTE: Cameras will be asked to be on during class for attendance purposes. As you know, Outschool classes are specifically for children. Per Outschool's policy, each painter must be registered separately. One student per class for 1:1 To respect the privacy of children as well as my art, I have elected to not share videos of my paint -a-long classes. Thank you for your understanding

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
I'm Heather Muse. I am so BLESSED to instruct my favorite artists each and every day!
My passion for creating stemmed from a very early age. With education focusing on Art and Design, instructing both children and adults in the creative process, has always been in the mix.
Picasso said that "Every child is an artist."
I truly believe this.
Giving a little guidance, my goal is to help others grow in confidence with their own artistic abilities.
I just love seeing their joy and the sense of accomplishment, when they realize they are capable of creating something amazing.
I hope these classes spark something inside and encourage them to continue creating.
I strive to add NEW paintings regularly for budding artists to practice their skills and develop into the artist they were created to be. ❤️
CREATED TO CREATE.
