Fall 2025:
​THE MIXED BAG!
​Jumble it up!
After last autumn's rigorous COLOR THEORY classes, this autumn we are exploring a mixed jumble of topics, blending creativity with the intellectual aspects of painting.  Some topics are brand new......some topics are being revisited, looking through a new lense.  

 I believe there is an artistic growth that happens in bouncing around between topics.   It stretches you, it opens up new techniques and ideas.  You do not have time to become stale.......It keeps creativity alive. Each class will offer a path forward in your artistic journey.    
               
 Included in Fall 2025: 
~  Palette Knife Painting....Bold and textural
~ "It's all in the DETAILS"   When, where and how to add details to a painting. 
~  Thinking (and Painting) in 2D & 3D .  Utilizing intellectual know-how with creativity
~  To Glaze or not to Glaze, that is the question.  
~  Color Psychology- Moving beyond Color Theory
~  Fast and Furious - How to make quick decisions and trust your judgement.
~ The Master's Palette- Discovering (and painting with) the chosen pigments used by some of the world's great artists.

NOTE: The topic schedule will be fluid.  Rather than stick to a rigid schedule, each class will move through the lessons at a reasonable pace.  
The above 7 lessons contain a lot!  You will want time to execute new ideas and techniques.  If we do not complete this curriculum, it will be continued into the following Jan/Feb 2026 session.

Make-up classes are available within the M-T-W schedule.  
​


 ABSOLUTE BEGINNER LESSONS
Have you "always wanted to try painting", or maybe you painted years ago and wish to revisit and begin again? 
Please feel free to reach out!   It would be my privilege to be part of your journey. 

​Beginning something new is scary, exciting, sometimes overwhelming.... but when it comes to painting, it is always FUN! 
All beginners will start with a one-on-one introductory private class, and move to a small workshop class for subsequent lessons. The atmosphere is realxed and mellow....it is a true workshop class that is supportive and enjoyable.  
Please contact me,  text:  484-866-1113 and we will schedule a time to discuss! 
PS: I love teaching beginners!  

Private or Semi-Private Lessons
