This class will cover basic composition, lighting, and different acrylic painting technique like scraping, dabbing, thin and thick brush strokes. This will be a step by step class. I will paint along with my students and pause for questions after each step. Learners will be following along with me as we paint and interact. I consider this a beginner/intermediate class. A little bit of painting experience is ideal for this class. I recommend at least 3 acrylic paintings worth of experience.
Learning Goals
Basic acrylic painting skills will be taught. Students will learn how to compose a painting and some different acrylic painting techniques.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Alberta College of Arts and Design
I love to teach art, and specialize in drawing (wide variety of styles and techniques), procreate, watercolour, and acrylic painting. When I teach, I like to lead by example. This means that I draw, paint and create with my learners. Throughout class I make myself available for questions, assistance and feedback.
I’ve been teaching art for over 6 years, and I have been creating art professionally since 2011. I have illustrated marketing materials for Denny’s, Newman’s Own, Duane Reade, Discovery Children’s Museum, The Mendes Foundation and other clients.
I also have extensive experience in advertising. I’ve been working as an art director/creative director for over 17 years. I worked in New York City for 10 years, Cambodia for one, and I currently work remotely out of my home office in Canada. In my advertising career I've made TV commercials, print campaigns, radio spots, online ads, videos and billboards (even some in Time Square.) I love thinking of cool ideas and bringing them to life. I am excited to share this skill with my students.
I believe that art is more than an applicable workplace skill. Art is a form of healthy self-expression and personal reflection. I also believe that art teaches the importance of patience and persistence. It is an education for the mind and soul.
For me, art is meditative. I own dozens of sketchbooks filled with drawings I’ve done throughout the years. Many pages contains a memory, emotion, thought or experience. As a mother, I find additional inspiration through my daughter and new son.
Art is everywhere, if you look for it. Children especially have a gift for finding beauty in the world. I hope to harness this gift so every child in my class can find their own unique, artistic voice.Reviews
