Review by Scott
"I have been familiar with Marc’s artwork for many years, and over that time his painting abilities and technique have grown and developed, bringing his al
ready natural abilities to an even higher level. Marc always remains engaged in the art community, and is also knowledgeable in art history. If you spend any time with him, you will quickly get to know his cheerful, fun, (and at times slightly eccentric) personality. He pushes himself to create artwork with a variety of different techniques to maintain versatility in his painting abilities, and this makes him well suited for teaching, because he will be able to help you with whatever you want/need to learn for your own paintings. I would recommend Marc to anybody looking to improve their painting abilities while also enjoying the learning process."

About Amber
I am a mother of two beautiful children 12 and 9 years old. They both enjoy doing art as well. I began treating art as a career the first Art Show I was in, high school, I am so glad schools are now doing elementary student shows it gives a sense of importance to those that see art as their talent to show the world. I love being a teacher, the questions, the discoveries of concepts and of ourselves. I continue to take my own classes and train as I teach, There are interactions then there are new things to learn. I hope to be able to assist in your journey of art discovery.

Students will have simple step-by-step instructions that break an image down into basic lines, shapes, and layers coupled with visual examples. You will have a project during our in-pe
rson or online sessions together followed by an assignment or goal to achieve before our next session. Children will focus on solidifying their artistic strengths while learning artistic techniques in every aspect of art. I will tailor the teachings to the student's area(s) of interest that strengthen their artistic style with visual art tools, especially for children and teens. Adults will rekindle their passion for art by revisiting the foundations of art.
I look forward to unlocking your or your child’s creative potential and strengthening existing talent with artistic techniques!
*Caution: If you or your child has cat allergies, I own a cat. Depending on the severity of your allergies, I am flexible to confining the cat to one room during our in-person lesson.
