Acrylics are by far the easiest medium to use in painting for beginners as well as experienced painters. You really can’t make a mistake, they are easily fixed. I call it no worries painting. Acrylics are great for beginners in their introduction to painting as I provide lessons and individual instructions to guide students through their adventure into acrylic painting. We will together, explore materials and individual styles and the subject matters that interests you. Experienced artists will benefit from my daily critiques and the planned class lessons that are always optional. I work closely with you in development of your personal artistic voice while emphasizing the advantages of painting a series. I try to promote a creative atmosphere where everyone can easily communicate and learn from each member of the class. Creativity promotes creativity!
