In my "open studio" classes, there is no curriculum that the entire class follows together. Instead, each person works on projects of their own choosing, in their own style and at their own pace. I will come to each easel for personal mentoring at least once during each class period. I discuss the principles of good painting both on an individual basis and through occasional short lectures (mini-lectures) and demonstrations. The mini-lectures take place only during the 15 minute break. Occasionally longer demonstrations make take place during the entire class period. Most of the class time is devoted to working on individual painting projects. Although my personal style is realism, I encourage each artist to develop his or her own personal style.

general class information and pricing
Since 1992, I have taught oil painting classes in my downtown Frederick, Maryland art instruction studio. Painting classes are limited to approximately 16 students, and are open studio-style with mini demonstrations and mini-lectures. All art classes are for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced skill levels. Currently the classes are held on Tuesdays, both in the morning and the evening. The important fundamentals of good oil painting are draftsmanship, an understanding of the principles of sound composition, the study of light and shadow, and working from life as much as possible. The emphasis in the classes is placed on improving observational skills, artistic "seeing", painting techniques, color mixing, value recognition, and appreciation of the Old Masters as well as contemporary masters. The basic important principles of classical oil painting or acrylic painting are provided, along with inspiration for creative and personal expression. Study still life, landscape or portraiture in an encouraging and positive environment. Join us!
