Creativity is intelligence having fun" ~Albert Einstein

I've worked with children for over 25 years in varying subjects and capacities, and I love to invest my time and talent teaching young students who desire to explore the world of art, drawing and painting.

I teach private lessons so that the students have my undivided attention, and feel safe and relaxed while learning. I focus my painting and art curriculum around the individual needs of each student based on what they enjoy, what they hope to accomplish at the end of the 6 week course, and based on their current skill level.

Topics most likely to be explored based on beginner or intermediate:

Caring for your art brushes
basic colour theory
intermediate colour theory
Sketching techniques
Perspective
Composition
Shading
Classic artist styles
Texture
Brush strokes
essentials for landscape paintings
Beginning portraiture
Soft and hard edges
and more....

The student will finish each lesson with a fun challenge to explore and learn during the week to help build into their lessons with me.
