Select Summer Saturdays, May–June 2023
8:30am–11:30am $60 per class Meet outdoors at various Milwaukee County green spaces to begin or continue painting en plein air! Suitable for both novice and experienced painters, each standalone class begins with a 1-hour narrated painting demonstration in which students are invited to ask questions. During the final two hours, students create their own studies/ paintings from life on site with individual instructor feedback. Class taught in oils; students proficient in other mediums are welcome to use them. With a split primary (warm/cool) palette learn to use color temperature, simplification, and various mark-making to create images with a naturalistic quality of light, illusion of depth, and sense of place. Demonstrations covering key concepts, tips for working comfortably outdoors, and individual feedback set up students for future independent plein air excursions. |

Teaching
I offer instruction in observation based, representational drawing and painting. Working from an academic training and current artistic practice rooted in art history and specific to the present, my goal is to give students the tools to express their own individual artistic perception by structuring, simplifying, and ultimately representing on paper or canvas what they see. Sign up for my art newsletter to stay informed of current class offerings.
Milwaukee area private art lessons and critiques/ artistic practice coaching are also available. Contact me for further information.
