Instruction
I have taught privately, online and in my studio for over seventeen years.
If you simply want to brush up on your skills or have always wanted to be able to draw or paint but didn't have the confidence to try, if you are looking for a creative outlet that will help you relax, if you are stressed out at work and need a diversion, if you are an art student wanting help in progressing or creating a strong portfolio, a digital artist looking for some input or if you are an experienced artist looking for objective, constructive insight, then I am here to help.
I teach drawing from the fundamentals to advanced. I teach about observation, measuring proportions, the use of tone and value to create the illusion of dimensional form, how to create volume and the sense of distance and space. I teach object drawing, still life drawing, figure drawing and portrait drawing.
I teach painting from the basics through to advanced which involves color theory and professional studio practices. Incorporated into this are the fundamentals of design and composition.
I teach the realities, practicalities and discipline of drawing and painting based on my thirty five plus years working as a professional artist combined with my adherence to the historical traditions of the representative approach.
Your class will be tailored to your needs, I work with you individually. You can take classes with a friend or friends. You can take one class or one hundred.
I will help you select and buy materials.
Classes are a minimum of two hours, unless I am just critiquing or advising. We can work in the studio, at your residence or online.
Fees are $105 an hour in studio or on location, $55 an hour online.
If you are seeking in person or online critique of individual artworks (either work in progress or complete), or portfolio evaluation for university or employment I charge a $175 consultation fee.
