Teaching Style:

I am primarily self taught as a painter and have rejected most traditional approaches. Learning under a lot of structure and rule did not resonate with me creatively.

I will not teach you “the correct way” to do anything. I will present things that work for me, share information that I have acquired over the years, and help you feel confident to experiment, play, and find what works for you.

In this 3 day course we will be painting from the mind, heart, and imagination.

We will be working with mainly acrylic paint and colored pencils.

Being that this is an all skill levels class I will be breaking down some of the very basics. I am primarily self taught as an artist and there is a lot of info I have learned along the way. I am going to be sharing everything I wish I had found sooner. We will talk about setting up a paint palette and the various qualities of acrylic paint and how to use them to your advantage while layer building. I will be showing you my approach to painting with out a plan, adding and taking away, mark making, brush techniques and much much more.

Live demos, class discussion, solo work time as well as one on one feedback from me.

you will leave this class with 3 or more started paintings to continue working on and complete after class is over. if you would like to come back to the studio to finish your pieces, we can schedule time to have you back in the studio.

Taught out of my studio in Portland, OR.

Mirror study started as a simple challenge to myself and became one of my most powerful learning tools. In this class I will share my approach in:

Learning by doing, painting with “no mistakes”, testing new mediums in a controlled setting, world building, making and breaking rules, and some very basic rendering, proportion and color theory. I will break down the very basics like setting up a paint palette, how to read the key on your paint tube, as well as show you a variety of layer building ideas and tools to open up your paints potential and nurture an environment where you can make confident marks and bold decisions.

I will provide everything you need to complete your self study. We will be working in a limited pallet, I will be teaching with professional quality acrylic paints and colored pencils. Feel free to bring anything you’d like to work with knowing that I will be teaching you with tools I am most familiar with.

Live demos, group discussion, one on one feedback, and independent work time in my studio.

By the end of our 3 days together you will leave the studio with your completed 9×12 Self Portrait.

This class has been so fun to incorporate into my creative practice and I can’t wait for the experience you’ll gain from taking it to influence your approach in painting for yourself.
