Teaching Art



I love to teach students who want to learn to paint!! There are so many different ways to interpret a subject: a tree, a sky, a flower ---- each person will want to create an image of the inner vision he has in his mind. My purpose is to give examples, direction, and encouragement as they start a new visual journey.


Recently we have been exploring the seemingly endless variety of colors, their values, and the many moods expressed with only three primary colors and white.
