I teach students to create beautiful, lifelike, realistic drawings and paintings using a combination of time honored classical techniques mixed with contemporary color methods. 

If you study here, your journey will begin with a set of 4 private lessons and a review of your personal artistic goals. As you practice and demonstrate mastery of each new drawing and painting concept you'll graduate at your own pace through each level of the program. At each step, you can move as quickly or slowly as is appropriate for you.
