Class Experience

My favorite part of teaching this painting is watching students realize that they can create a painting and proudly share their success with others.  I strive to have time and space for each artist to watch my live demonstration, ask questions and for them to explore and ask me for direction and feedback.

We will utilize the class web page were there will be additional resources, a place to post questions between classes, and upload images of your work to share with the rest of class. Before class begins students will have access to pre-instructional content: Materials list, care and use of materials, and vocabulary.
