Visual Arts Lesson Reviews from Students

Review by Amanda
"I had a wonderful experience with Marlisa! She communicated very clearly and reliably before my lesson to answer my questions and make sure that I was abl
e to do everything I wanted during my lesson. She was helpful and patient during the lesson, giving wonderful demonstrations and talking me through the process. I didn't think I would be able to produce anything good right away on the wheel, but with her help I made a nice cup, which she offered to fire and glaze for me. She really went above and beyond with her lesson and I highly recommend her!"

Review by Amy
"Marlisa is a wonderful instructor. My class has people of all skill levels, and I have been very impressed in how she has handled working with them all.
She is very hands on with the students new to wheel throwing, and has had a great impact on their ability to quickly learn the basics (and learn how much fun it is). I have had some previous experience, but still have a lot to learn, and she also has been focused on determining what my needs are, and helping me reach my goals to improve. She also is a great potter, and it's fun and a revelation to see her own work. She's a great teacher, and it's been fun having her in the classroom."

Review by Freyja
"I have had nothing but the best experience working with Marlisa. She is patient, she takes the time to verify that you've grasped a concept you're strugg
ling with and works to find the best way to communicate with YOU. I don't think anyone would regret spending an hour or two learning and chatting with Marlisa. I feel so inspired and more confident each time I leave a session. If you're on the fence about trying this; don't hesitate!"

About Deron
I am a San Diego native and have shown my paintings extensively throughout San Diego. It wasn't until several years after I graduated from UCLA in 1994 with a Bachelors in Fine Arts, that I really tried to show my work in galleries. Most recently, my work has been in shows at Project X Gallery, The Museum of the Living Artist, The San Diego Art Department, Sanctuary Gallery, Limbo Fine Arts, and Sushi Gallery. I have just started to show in other cities, most recently at the Rialto Theater in Corpus Christi, Texas and The Nico Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
Along with my painting career, I have created children’s book and magazine illustrations, done graphic design work, and taught others how to express themselves creatively through art. I have been creating curricula for children’s art programs and teaching them. I also have been te
Along with my painting career, I have created children’s book and magazine illustrations, done graphic design work, and taught others how to express themselves creatively through art. I have been creating curricula for children’s art programs and teaching them. I also have been te
aching adults how to paint at the San Diego Art Department for the past 10 years and, in the past two years, with Painting &Vino.
Through my decade of teaching painting, I have honed a teaching style that encourages students to balance creativity and imagination with technique and skill. I strive to help students discover a process in which they are able to express themselves creatively while also teaching paint application techniques, color theory and the Elements and Principles of design. I am often in front of 50+ people at a time presenting my painting techniques within a limited amount of time.
I look forward to coaching you whether you're someone who hasn't painted since you were a kid or you're a seasoned painter who just needs a little help, encouragement or direction.
*** Lesson Details ***
Subjects may include, but are not limited to:
-Color theory
-The Elements & Principles of Design and how to use them
-The Creative Process
-Creating a Composition When You Don't Know What to Paint
-Creating a Painting Using a Photo as a Reference
-Glazing
-Oil vs. Acrylic Paints
-Advice for Artists with Works-In-Process
I am happy to teach a student anything s/he wants to explore within the realm of painting.

I also am a textile artisan. My love is doll-making, in the Waldorf style. I teach knitting (Continental style), crochet, and sewing.
My other love is gardening. I grow tree and herbaceous peonies. My cottage style garden is planted for fragrance and naturalness. I emphasize growing perennials because their beauty increases each year.

About Gabrielle
Meet Gabrielle:
Gabrielle has coached individuals, choirs, and camps locally and internationally to perfect their tone and sing with skill and freedom. Aside from teaching, she also is a traveling performer, and a host of creative music production workshops in elementary schools and other family friendly venues.
Musical History:
As a professional singer formerly signed to Sony Records and Cherrylane Publishing she has a few songwriting credits in movies, television, albums and video games. After starring in a reality show, releasing an album, touring with some of music's biggest names, walking the red carpet, and performing at the Billboard awards, she returned home to really find her sound after her music group disbanded.
"It has been such a journey. Now that I've found my voice, I want to help others discover theirs too.

"It has been such a journey. Now that I've found my voice, I want to help others discover theirs too.
It's so important to me. As a striving musician, successes and failures have only deepened my passion and taught me the importance of knowing myself as an artist. I love helping others believe in themselves and release what's truly inside them."
She is very diverse and able to do all kinds of genres. She is also a producer and is passionate about music arrangement, song writing and recording. She currently runs RunSong Studios.
What to Expect as a Student:
* Train to hear the note, tune tone, sing on key
* Learn to create and control runs and ad libs
* Find the perfect harmonies automatically
* Strengthen diaphragm and learn to breathe correctly
* Learn to sing with emotion and let the true individual shine through
* Push the limits with the right exercises and free the voice to truly soar
* Be empowered and encouraged as a singer and a raw artist, whether this is a hobby or an epic dream
I recommend children's session be no shorter than an hour. 30 minutes goes by very quickly and children's classes are more about building confidence as well as skill which takes a bit longer.

About Alyse
I am a studio artist and live painter with an imaginative style trained in the old masters techniques of classical realism. I studied at The Schuler School of Fine Art, a renowned atelier focusing on classical realism techniques. There I took classes part time along side alongside college courses from 2011 until I became a full time artist in 2016. My classes at Schuler included drawing, oil painting, watercolor, sculpture and anatomy. I am experienced with painting still life, figure, portraits, trompe l'oeil, alla prima (wet on wet) and glazing.
I offer lessons catered to each individuals level of expertise. I can work from a guided curriculum with projects, excercises, and demos that teach the use of values, color, composition, light, and edges, or work with a student on a specific subject matter or project of their choosing.
