My classes and workshops are designed for students who want to build strong foundational skills,understand traditional techniques, and experience the quiet joy of creating art with intention.

​

Workshops

Workshops are short, focused immersions into classical realist methods. Each session emphasizes core principles such as value, composition, color harmony, and working from life. With small groups and step-by-step demonstrations, students gain clear instruction and hands-on practice in a supportive, encouraging environment.

Workshops are ideal for anyone who wants to try oil painting for the first time, strengthen their technique, or enjoy a concentrated creative experience.

Ongoing Classes

For those who want a deeper journey, I will offer multi-week classes where students work on a single larger painting or a series of studies across several sessions. These classes allow for meaningful progress, personalized feedback, and the development of a more intentional studio practice. Students bring their own reference or concept, and together we build the painting from the ground up—considering design, drawing, block-in, modeling, and finish.

Private Events

I also host private, customizable painting experiences for groups—perfect for gatherings, celebrations, team activities, or special occasions. These events blend creativity and connection in a relaxed setting, with flexible themes based on your group’s needs.

Whether you’re planning a bridal shower, birthday, or a fun evening with friends, these sessions offer a memorable and artful way to spend time together.

A Thoughtful, Classical Approach

All offerings follow a classical realist sensibility—focusing on careful observation, strong fundamentals, and time-honored studio practices. Classes are welcoming to all experience levels, from complete beginners to artists looking to refresh or refine their skills.
