Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced artist, this class will give you a variety of techniques to improve your skills and as you begin to master your own unique creativity. In this class, we will solely work with acrylics as our medium to create stunning unforgettable art as we explore with colors and texture. This class is a live online class where I will demonstrate the art strokes as the class follows step by step. There is always room for creative variations of course! This class is completely interactive giving each learner a unique experience, whether that is following along quietly because of shyness, or asking lots of questions specific to their own art piece. Here they will gain confidence in their art and encouragement during class time. Reinforcing responsibility is essential, so in this class, each learner will be taught how to properly clean and care for their brushes, as well as cleaning up their workspace at the end of each class time. Week 1: Painting Flowers Week 2: Painting Landscapes Week 3: Painting Cityscape Week 4: Painting Whimsical Art

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have homeschooled for the past 18+ years (It's been so long I'm losing count). My husband and I have 5 children: 3 self sufficient adults now), 1 College and 1 in High School!
My teaching background has been primarily based on teaching my own children K-12. It is where I found a passion for learning! I have one child with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia. I had to learn how to teach to each child differently based on their learning styles and needs through workshops, books and classes.
Outside of educating in the home, my background is quite diverse. My writing has been published for feature articles in magazines, business writing, and resume writing. I have a strong professional background in sales and marketing and staff recruiting.
I consider myself a lifetime learner and always will. My hobbies include history, true crime (yes, I try to solve each and every one, haha) crocheting, quilting, cooking, art (pen & ink and charcoal), photography, homemaking. What do I love to teach? Things I am good at of course!
I try to bring hands on learning to most everything I do. To me, it's more enjoyable and leaves a lasting impression on your mind!
When not home schooling and teaching on Outschool, you will likely find me hiking with our boys, or quite possibly at a football game, baseball game, basketball game...you get the picture, basically on a field of some sort!
