2021 Online Class And Workshop Schedule
An example of a class demo broken down week by week for you to replicate at home.
This COVID pandemic has left many of us finding our silver linings where we can. 2020 forced us to find new ways of doing things; for me that involved mask wearing, curbside delivery and bringing my art classes on-line. I never expected that making such a pivot would transform my teaching practice as much as it has. This has involved purchasing new video equipment and learning how to use video editing programs like Adobe Premiere. I have now taught over 60 weekly online classes and introduced a new 4 Week Adult Beginner - Intermediate Online Class as well as an online workshop.
In 2021 I plan on expanding my repertoire to include 10 new online classes, expanding upon the 4 Week Adult Class and adding an abbreviated 1 day - 3 hour workshop every other month. All my classes with the exception of my Teen class will be focused around a changing still life theme.
Still Life has a lot to offer the beginner to intermediate artist and that is why I am focusing on it for my online classes. For the beginner student it gets you off to running start very quickly teaching you how to handle your materials, composition/simplification of shapes and value control. For the more intermediate student it opens up the world of textures and edge sensitivity which is crucial on your journey to becoming a master. Everything I teach in these classes can be applied to working from life which is invaluable to your studio practice. The lessons you learn working from life will animate all your work - especially any work you do from photography.
I am offering the following classes for 2021. I hope some of you will join me!

Online Classes
Finished oil painting demonstration for the upcoming “Sunflowers and Pumpkins” workshop.
One of the few silver linings during this crazy COVID time definitely has to be the ability to take online classes.
I have recently rolled out my own online art classes for both adults and teens. Next up will be my “Sunflowers and Pumpkins” online oils workshop for beginners - intermediate level painters.
During 3 hours each day, I will demonstrate and break down my painting technique in simple terms so that students can follow along at home. Students are encouraged to email a photograph of their finished painting for feedback once the workshop is over. A Zoom conference link and materials list will be emailed closer to the start of the workshop.
Sept 19th & 20th. 1:00 - 4:00 PM. I hope you will join us!
