Lessons & Critiques

Having a background as a licensed New York State Board of Education art teacher, experience with college portfolio development for teens, extra curricular art with children and private lessons with adults… has led me to now offering a variety of private virtual lessons and also will be offering a Painting Masterclass in the future.

Live, one to one

Virtual Private Lessons

Seven focused lessons. Each one is a live video with me, and the teaching is based on your desired focus. You will appear with your ideas, artwork or questions depending on your lesson choice.

$60 for 30 minutes, $100 for an hour, $180 for two hours.

In production

The Painting Masterclass (Fully Recorded)

Being filmed now

A fully recorded course, with live painting, time-lapses, technique, narration, questions and answers. Watch a piece go from a blank surface to finished painting. Move at your own pace, as many times as you wish. Modules are being recorded now. Once this is complete, you will be notified via the studio letter. The live sessions are a perfect way to learn until then.

Group lessons will be up and running again once the demand allows for them.

Want a group demo?

Say so and you go on the list. When there are enough people, one gets scheduled.

Straight answers

Before you book

Am I too much of a beginner?

No. The drawing sessions start from nothing and assume no prior training.

What will I need?

For a live session, whatever you already work with. A materials list goes out with the recorded course.

Is the course live or recorded?

Recorded, so you can go at your own speed and rewatch anything. The private sessions are the live option.

Do I keep access to the course?

Yes, including future updates to the lessons.

Can we work on my own piece?

That is what the private sessions are for. Bring it.

The course opens to the studio letter first

No launch noise and no countdown timers. One email when it is ready, and an early price for the people who waited.
