Private Live Online Abstract Painting Lessons

Abstract art, to be really effective, usually comes about when an artist has mastered all forms of realism and representation and is ready to push the envelope. The artists then can expand their vision to see real objects and scenes as a microcosm in a macrocosm or vice versa. Therefore, I teach realism first and then expand to abstraction.

I specialize in Expressionism, Surrealism and can direct cubism or representational (life-like) styles.

Inspire student's creativity and courage, teaches basic painting technique and abstract art history and theories

I've been teaching/studying/practicing abstract painting for over 7 years. Medium of choice is acrylic paint, but I am also proficient in watercolor and oil. Main focus is in color theory and composition as well as specific mastery in chosen medium. My teaching is based on hands on approach and the goal is not only teach how to do it, but also why.

Art from the Heart! It is my opinion that, as an artist, Art is supposed to be affordable so that all may own a special piece. I will teach you to paint using your photos or 'en plein air' (outdoors). Painting will be done in a park near my home or a coffee shop on Cass Street so that we can flick paint all over the place. We begin with the basic color wheel and move on to other subjects as you continue lessons. I will supply all colors. I only use paint from a supplier in LA which provides the studios with their paint colors. They have the most true pigments of any paint that I have used in my 40 years of painting. They are the same exact price or lower than local art suppliers paint products. The main focus is to slow your mind and concentrate on details no matter how long it takes. As artists we are our own worst critic; the public painting will also expose you to positive comments from the public who love to see people paint outdoors.
