Teaching
I offer instruction in observation based, representational painting and drawing. My goal is to give students the tools to express their own individual artistic perception by structuring, simplifying, and ultimately representing on canvas or paper what they see. See current opportunities below, and contact me with any questions about current classes, or to arrange private sessions.

No experience needed for this sequential beginner’s course. Through the means of still life and informed by the work of the masters, Academy trained artist Beth Stoddard introduces you to oil painting fundamentals of value, color mixing, materials safety, and methodology. Teacher demonstrations precede hands on practice; participants will create at least four 'alla prima', or one session, paintings including value studies, color sketches, and more. Optional homework enriches the studio instruction. Whether this is your first studio art course or you come to explore a new media, you will come away with a robust toolkit for painting in oils directly from life.
