My personal method of teaching is a step by step process helping you all the way from start to completion.  
From the various styles of holding a brush to create different effects, to multiple uses of materials and techniques, these lessons will build your skills as well as confidence, in a relaxed creative setting.  
Learn how to turn "mistakes" into happy accidents, and to master materials instead of them mastering you.  
Students range from beginner to advanced level, I teach to individual skill levels and needs. With the right instruction everyone can be an artist.
