About Patricia M.
Close
Using the classic European Atelier Style of teaching, I start all students with basic drawing, tone and color theory before embarking on either water color or oil painting. This is to ensure that the students have a solid foundation upon which to apply color to achieve the desire d effects. No amount of pretty color will make up for a poorly constructed work. Students learn to create dimensional illusions by understanding the principles of perspective, light and dark and various techniques.
About Patricia
*** Lesson Details ***
I love to have fun. For me, learning is a great source of fun. My goal is to make the process of your learning music fun while effective. I do have high standards for participation. I do not ask anything of you that I haven't done myself. I know, from many years of experience in performing and teaching, what it takes to make progress in a learning curve, Are you excited? Are you dedicated? Are you willing to jump in and get busy? I will give you the foundation of theory and technique to support your performance. I will expand your understanding and appreciation for music in its many styles and formats. No every other week or schedule as you go lessons, please.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living room - Steinway piano, cathedral ceilings ... good acoustics.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Must have piano or quality keyboard. I definitely prefer piano.
*** Specialties ***
I was trained classically in both piano and voice, but spent many years in musical theater and singing in supper clubs, as well. I am capable of teaching most styles of piano and voice except rock and rap.

I originally took her lesson because I had an audition for Christmas Carol, and I wanted to at least go over the song I was going to use. Instead, she gave me another song to sing for the audition. I have never been able to get in a show where singing is the main dish; however, after her advise with the new song, I was thrilled to see an email from the casting director when I was chosen to be in the show! I can never thank enough her for this. :D

From beginner skills such as choosing the brushes to creating dynamic designs this is the class for you. Using special water based oil paint this will be the easiest way to paint fine detail.
About Lynn
Ms. Buettner has studied at several of the most prestigious art schools in the Northeast including: Rhode Island School of Design, The New York Art Students' League, the Paier College of Art in Connecticut, and the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the United States and Canada, and is in collections worldwide. Summering on the East Coast on Martha's Vineyard Island, Ms. Buettner's work quickly became known and collected by local residents and returning island guests. Most originals were sold while still on her easel.
To keep up with demand, sh
The publishing company that licensed her designs flew her to China to do an art signing at the Canton World Trade Show.
Enthusiastically sharing her knowledge, she has taught all levels of art to both beginners and adults for the past thirty years. She created and taught a very successful after school art program for kids for over ten years as well. After devoting the last twenty years to painting scenes ranging from realistic to impressionistic, Ms. Buettner is venturing out with her accomplished techniques and abilities, into the exciting and unusual world of intuitive expression. Letting go of conscious thoughts, an exciting, creative and sensual world emerges to be shared with the viewer. This work has been coined Neo Biomorphic.
Her work has been used on many different commercial projects including the Nash Bridges TV Show and the TV movie Diary of a Mad Housewife.
Starting a very successful after school art program for grades 1-6, she has extensive experience in all age groups bringing the student from beginning drawing to the most advanced painting techniques that took over 40 years to acquire.

About Jess F.
Close
Painting has been one of my strongest points as an Artist since childhood. This practice was further explored in my art education at Pratt Institute, BY,NY. I utilize many different inspirations and styles to continually create new and exciting ways to learn and develop methods. This process comes so natural to me, therefore teaching it to others is second nature. I create a customized curriculum/lesson plan for every student after discussing their unique needs and areas of interest to formulate an approach.
I have heard many people say, "I wish I could paint!", without realizing that they already can! Everyone has their own style; it's just a matter of exploring and finding what works for them, through utilization of the basics!
About Jess
My name is Jess, and I am a Professional Artist and Tutor (of all listed subjects) who is very creative, genuine, and intuitive. I have been teaching for many years, and I have been exploring and expanding upon many art forms since childhood. I am very light-hearted, and have a deep passion for Fine Art, Writing, Poetry, and Performance Art.
My ability to interpret and communicate on a deep level is innate, as is the connection I share with my students. I find fun and creative ways to educate, so our time together is something to look forward to. I create a personalized and comprehensible curriculum/lesson plans for each student depending on their areas of improvement, areas of interest, and goals. I have wonderful experience and have formed great relationships as well as positive results!
My rate depends upon length of session

About Audrey C.

Digital painting is an art form that is very rewarding, but daunting at first. I specialize in painting stylized portraits and will teach you the fundamentals of digital painting as well as techniques that will help you on your creative journey. The programs I am familiar with are Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint and Firealpaca.
About Audrey
I have always enjoyed art and seek to mentor those with similar interests. My lessons will be informal, but instructive with an emphasis on hands on learning. I believe that it is important to try things for yourself, rather than be told something is against an art law. My grandmother always said that rules are made to be broken when it comes to art.
I am experienced in using drawing tablets such as the Wacom Intuos Manga, Wacom Intuos Pro, and a Mono Price.

Painting is a great creative outlet for people to spend time relaxing and make something beautiful that brings you pride and joy. Anyone can paint! All it takes is time and a willingness to make mistakes and learn from them. I’ve been painting for 8 years and teaching for 1. I welcome all students who are interested in picking up painting as new hobby or returning after a long time away. We’ll build out your painting techniques and color theory so you can paint from real life or something abstract.
About David
Through introducing or reviewing the fundamental principles in art and applying those to the lessons and exercises I assign for after class hours, you’ll see yourself improve week after week and gain more confidence in your artistic ability. I create a custom syllabus for you to review and work in things you’d like to try, certain mediums or subject matter to make it more appealing to you.
Making art should be fun and restorative! There’s a reason all of Bob Ross’s trees and clouds were so happy! Often times my s
