"Paint, draw or play about something that is meaningful to you."I've been teaching art for 2 years and my students have gone on to portraiture. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to study the nature of the media you have chosen i.e. painting, charcoal, other media and as time goes on you'll be able to expand your media and move towards a style or create your own. I specialize in surrealism with my influences being Vincent Van Gogh, Dali, Frieda Kahlo, Magritte and many others. I can introduce media that is includes paint, lead, prismacolor, charcoal, ink and more.
I have also studied the history of art extensively and read biographies of many artists.

From basic beginner skills such as color mixing and showing basic brush strokes, to advanced technical skills using color for dynamic design. I have taught thousands of people from 5 year old complete beginners to advanced. I teach in a way that no one teaches. I actually show every brushstroke.
