I will cover as much as possible about my classes here. If you have a question on something I haven't covered I will be happy to answer them for you, use my Contact Form. You will have an answer within 24 hours. By the way, If you already paint, I would love to hear from you too!
Classes Taught:
Beginners to Advanced Welcomed!
=Painting landscapes, farm scenes, seascapes, snow capped mountain scenes, waterfalls, still life (On Canvas),
=Decorative Painting On Home and Garden Decor from outdoor tables to flower pots) and also
=One Stroke painting is really having control over your brush and making use of completing a leaf, flower petal, tree trunk, branches, etc. with just a one stroke technique (on most anything) and the way the brush is loaded. It simplifies and makes decorative painting fun and fast.
=Greeting Cards by YOU. Always be prepared for that special day at a moments notice.
Classes and Workshops Can Be Most Anywhere ~ Church Groups ~ Garden Clubs ~ Including Home Classes. The Kitchen is the perfect place because of tables, seating and access to water. No less then 3 students for any class.
Since we have moved and down-sized, I no longer have a Studio that is large enough to accommodate teaching. This is great savings for you! No overhead costs of a studio, lights, easels, etc., plus I am more interested in making painting friends.
I can go to your Home, Church, Club House, Recreation center, etc......
Keep things simple, no need for cooking or snacks and everyone can bring their own bottled water or soft drink. We don't want our hostess to spend her time serving. We want to keep it simple!
Never picked up a brush? No Problem!
Learn to Paint on anything from Greeting Cards to Mailboxes, Canvas Paintings to Fabric and Furniture. Paint Trash to Treasure items pretty enough to give as gifts for your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors... Incredible Fun and Satisfaction!
Keep a few yard sale finds or a pack of new pillow cases or just some blank Greeting Cards around to paint for last minute notice of Birthday's or whatever pops up, be ready with your personalized gift and make memories!
