ADDITIONAL INFO
Primary Discipline: Painting
Other Discipline(s): Dance, Theatre, Poetry, Crafts, Collage, Drawing, Music-Vocal, Photography Services:
I use visual demonstrations and facilitate observation because learning to see is part of the process. I use varied ways of teaching to help students of differing learning styles, and use humor to keep the classes fun. Classes include: Subject-based, technique-based, and incremental watercolor/acrylic-in-a-watercolor-manner; subject-based and incremental drawing classes; creativity classes using collage and journaling to find untapped creativity; and oil painting/acrylic-in-a-oil-manner classes.
Availability:
Available in the Twin Cities metro area within 30 minutes of my home in White Bear Lake on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, mornings and early afternoons.
Fee: I like to have at least four students and charge $13.50 per student, using my supplies, but may lower my price for larger groups. I keep enough brushes to lend to a class 12. I also sell sets of the supplies I use for $16.
