My Thoughts
Students benefit from life and pure fantasy drawing. 
It is best if you can sketch.  Learning to draw to work out ideas is a clear step to expressing visually.  I encourage the use of the Thumbnail sketch to start an art piece.
Photo References & Copy Right
Photos as information or inspiration is a useful tool. Use your own photos or ones found on copy right free sites.  Online Paint My Photo or Photos for Artists on FB are examples.


Being a Student
Technical help and support while enjoying freedom and growth

"Once you are engaged in art, you realise it isn't as easy or as simple as you may have hoped.  If you love a challenge, you will enjoy art.  Art can help you focus.  It will let you express yourself as you please.
I think it is important for the student to have a good attitude about their efforts.  It is not the production of good work that is the most important.  It can be a deterrent to want perfection in the short term.  Brilliance is hard to achieve and is rare even for the well trained.  In a classroom setting you have the benefit of the instructor and other students in understanding and experiencing new ideas. Through challenges, you will experience growth.  You start to understand and express yourself better with each attempt.  You are the one who is doing the work and creating art.
Some of my students have created exceptional pieces.  Many struggled with inspiration.  Being experimental and open is a necessity for us when we are students.  When I was a student, I was intent upon learning technique and absorbing all art information.  Being a student is a special time to take risks with others around for feedback, and technical support."

Drawing & Painting
- Realism / Abstract
- oil / acrylic
- painting knives

Beginners will learn about the variety of painting tools and how to use them.  This includes paints, brushes, knives, canvases, and mediums. Exploring how to set up a painting, what painting is about and how to apply the paint are the beginning. 
The Intermediate students will start to create an individuality to their work.  Where the student's interests lie will determine the theme and aid in style development.  In our age we have a wide variety of styles to choose from.  I am confident that I can help a student explore most styles.
Advanced students will want to explore precise finished works that are theme based and are the result of their own ideas and experiences.
