Painting and Drawing:
I have taught art for more than 20 years to students of all levels. It is a great pleasure to share my knowledge with others, especially individuals who are just starting out or are in the intermediate phase and want to develop a solid base from which to explore their own ideas.
A typical workshop runs 6-8 hours over the course of two days (usually an evening and then a full second day). The emphasis of the workshop can be geared to the needs of your organization.
Areas of instruction:
Each material listed below can be taught independently or as a package of two or three.
- Painting: watercolor, ink, gouache
- Drawing: pencil, pen, pastel, charcoal, colored pencil
- Mixed media: All the above materials work well together when handled correctly and combining them make for an exciting extended workshop.
Students supply their own materials
