It does not matter whether you are a small kid, a teenager or an adult, anyone can start painting at any age. You don't need inborn talent, you just need enthusiasm to learn. You can become an artist at any age by guided practice. So here is the right time to find out the artist inside you. Sign up for my lessons and see the hidden potential within you in just 1 class.

In my classes you can expect to learn both the basics and advanced material:
-Painting realistic skin tones, composition,using a grisaille and verdaccio, glazing, methods and materials of the Old Masters, achieving a likeness in portraiture, accurate color mixing and matching, the use and preparation of painting mediums, translating what you see or envision onto the canvas successfully and much more. I enjoy teaching people that are passionate about art, regardless of their skill level.

With 12+ years of experience, I have a long history of practicing visual art. Drawing and painting are some of my favorite practices, and I love helping others take what they see and express that through their own hands. Together we'll explore what it means to perceive and express through creative visual means!
