Oil and Watercolor classes for adults



I teach beginning-intermediate art classes out of my studio in West Loveland, Colorado.  Wednesdays is the watercolor class and another group meets for oil painting classes on Thursdays. Instead of a 'copy me' class I teach students what they want to learn: to be able to paint their own vision. I teach some basic principles and techiniques from the workshops and classes I've attended, painting with peers and my college days studying for my BFA.  
 Classes have a maximum of 5 students to ensure plenty of attention.  We meet from 9AM-12 PM each week.  I do offer drop in classes as well, on a space available basis. Class costs are $25 per class if you sign up for the entire month and $27 per class drop in.  I have over 10 years experience teaching and my students end up becoming good friends.  If you would like more information you can message me for more details.

Pikes Peak Glow

Pikes Peak Glow (oil)

I was driving up out of Divide, Colorado  last September when I noticed the fleeting last light on Pikes Peak Autumn was beginning to color the Aspen groves golden yellow and fresh snow was on the Rocky Mountains.  This spectacular view turned to be just one of many on this weekend plein air camping trip.  This original oil measures 6 5/8" x 14" and is for sale.  Message me for current availability.
