Scotch Plains, NJ Acrylic Painting Lessons

Acrylic is the perfect medium for a shorter time period to paint. The paint dries almost instantly yet with the techniques I teach your paint will stay wet for days and weeks. Great way to learn to paint and a medium you will switch to forever depending on the subject matter.

As my student you will learn very important basic to intermediate foundation knowledge of the painting process. This involves Color theory, canvas preparations (wood, Canvas and other substrate choices), Brush selections, Mediums and thinning, Paint storage and reusing. We will work on transferring ideas from still life or sketch to canvas. We will cover brush stroke effects, blending, highlighting and work processes for an efficient and most importantly fun workflow.

Lessons would be individualized to focus on areas that need the most guidance.

I have been painting for several years and I have studied many techniques.

I have been teaching professionally for five years with both small children and adults in many different platforms. My students can expect to develop skills of sketching in paint, rendering objects realistically, color theory, color mixing, texturing and blending, and building contrast. I work with you, where you're at, and develop my lesson plans custom to your individual needs. My students and I always have a blast and make the learning experience fun.

I've been teaching for years and my students have gone on to develop a deep love for the visual arts. Within the first few lessons, you'll understand colors and shapes and as time goes on, you'll be able to to identify your style and create your own artworks as a professional artist. See you soon!

My main medium is Oil,though i use all mediums( currently gouache and other aqeuos mixed mediums.)My goal is to help student in understanding how to approach a painting, manipulate paint and understand both abstraction and paint application, for all levels ofcourse. For each level my teaching and philosophy will drastically differ, all depend on the student's capability to understand, practice and apply.

Release your inner artist and allow yourself to explore the art of abstract expressionism.
Colors have been scientifically proven to alter moods and creating art can be therapeutic and an excellent way to release.
Sometimes, however, creating can be daunting when faced with preconceived notions of what the finished piece should look like.
If you've always wanted to paint but didn't want to do something cookie cutter or are experiencing the equivalent of writer's block when staring at that blank canvas-- abstract expressionism is the way to go.
Abstract expressionism allows you the freedom to just flow and release.
You'll learn basic technique as you explore and express yourself including how to properly hang, exhibit and care for your work.
I'm an exhibiting artist with years of experience in the field.

I love helping people discover that creativity is their birthright! I tailor my lessons to your individual needs. My experience is with creating abstract and mixed media
paintings on paper wood or canvas. I teach both acrylic and watercolor. I can't wait to see what you create!
