I am so fortunate to be able to teach what I love to such a wonderful group of adult students. They teach me, they inspire me, the make me laugh and they paint wonderful paintings. My cellar studio is a great place to have classes, cozy, cool in summer, warm in winter. We share lots of stories, successes and heartaches. They brighten and enrich my life. And I sincerely hope I add something to theirs.
My classes all start with the fundamentals - no talent required. Beginning Art. We start here - how to hold a pencil, what kind of eraser to buy, special tools to learn to "see" subject matter like an artist, and drawing basics in preparation to paint. This truly is a Beginner art class and, if you would like to take class with me, it's better if you don't know anything when you start art lessons so there are no bad habits to unlearn - No Talent Required. I do have more experienced students who have agreed to go through the Beginning Art course. In every case, the students have benefited greatly. I have found, in my over 30 years of teaching, Beginning Art seems to fill in lots of gaps in the education of students who have been drawing and painting for a while. |
Student ArtworkMy current list of art students taking classes. Check out their artwork. They are all totally awesome! Every gallery is a work of art in itself. My students work hard and are very determined.

Class information Betty Edwards' book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is where you start. She has made it possible for anyone to learn how to draw. After 4 years in an art college and many years taking art classes - I finally figured out how to draw using her book.
Painting - anything you can find written or on video by Helen Van Wyk. Another life changing moment for me. |
