You don't have to attend an art school to become an artist. I'll teach you how to draw and paint from photos and from life, anytime, anywhere.
Foundations classes are perfect for those starting from scratch, and will also offer more experienced artists essential skills.
I have developed a clear and unique path to learning how to draw the figure that anyone at any ability level can achieve success with. You can do this without a studio or even a dedicated art space, any time of the day or night, and with very little in the way of materials. And, I will be there to personally guide you along the way with lessons, demonstrations, and direct feedback on your work.
