Woodside, NY Watercolor Painting Lessons

I have been teaching water painting for almost 10 years..
This is a very exciting class! Students will learn How to Paint Watercolors, How to hold a watercolor brush and Basic Brush Control Exercises etc...
I will get you started and perhaps inspire you, as a watercolor painter. I can supply lessons on the craft and skills, but purpose is what is driving you to want to try to create art. What that vision is, is unique for everyone. The footsteps of the path that lies before you are yours to follow until you can find your own path.
So what are you waiting for ? Sign up your lesson today!

I have over thirty years experience teaching both privately and in group situations. I teach all levels from beginning and as young as six years old to the most advanced students. We never stop learning!

I started a very successful after school art program for kids grades 1-6 and taught it every day for over three years. I then expanded and had other artists teach it, eventually giving it to a non profit art organization in the San Diego area, after a successful ten year run.

If you are a beginner, I will help you to feel confident on your skills.

I began drawing in three dimensions at the age of two (it was a stuffed panda bear doll if you must know). I am a keenly visual person, and began winning awards in art in elementary school, and eventually went on to become student artist of the year in New York state while a sophomore in high school. That same year I had a show in a gallery in Manhattan. The following year I made my own short animated film and was hired by a private academy to do all their creative print marketing. My approach to teaching art is similar to my approach to teaching communication. Sometimes art is about telling a story. Often it can be about making a point (even if that point is just about beauty or dysfunction, or beauty in dysfunction). But whatever its purpose, art is *always* about seeing, with more than your eyes. The best forms of art capture and captivate all of who we are and how we perceive, whether we’re talking pencil sketches or making movies. While I teach lots of different styles,

you learn variety of painting
card making
water color painting
embossing
glass painting

there is big section of clay painting which includes wall paintings these are bit costly.

Visual Art is another dimension, another reality. It can be true or invention. It can be poetic or logical. Is where you learn to recreate and express it to others.

I encourage people to develop their own art technique. I can provide courses and tutoring all levels of development. Starting from the Art fundamentals for the more advance sense to advance composition and creation. I always consider carefully what are the interests and goals of my students to develop a custom course for them. I have a Bachelor Degree in Visual Arts from the University of Puerto Rico and a Master Degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, from Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain.

My course can range from traditional drawing methods, to experimental painting technique. I can flourish the course with cool art history facts.

I think is the most important part in the painting class is to know where do you want to head up. And then, lets go!

I have advanced realist techniques similar to Bob Ross in watercolor and in oil intermediate abstract techniques. Focus will be primarily on brush stroke practice and on color mixing. Also offered is face painting. Can also focus on speed painting for intermediate level painters (beginners shouldn't try speed painting, brush stroke techniques need to be comfortable with before beginning). I have a lot of meditating practices and games to build these skills as well as creativity.
