My lessons are encouraging, structured, and tailored to each student's age, experience, interests, and goals. Students can explore drawing fundamentals, proportion, shading, composition, portraiture, color theory, and painting techniques using graphite, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, or oil paint. I believe anyone can learn to create art with patient instruction and practice. I break each technique into approachable steps and provide a comfortable space where mistakes are part of the learning process. Students do not need any previous experience.
