Online Class in July: Simplified Forms: Methods for Oil Painting
It’s never simple to keep things simple- especially when you are talking about painting complex forms. Translating your ideas into paint and getting them down on canvas simply requires mastery of skills and materials. It also requires focus and good painting habits.
In this weekly class, we will discuss limits and how they offer a way to organize your paintings and thought process.

do it anyway
In the midst of the pandemic we are all experiencing together, I notice that I am having a lot of negative thoughts about art making. Thoughts like, “What you’re doing is not important,” or “You’re not saving lives here, ” or perhaps the most negative of all- “No one cares about art at a time like this, so stop sharing.” Does any of this sound familiar?

So I’ve been waiting. Waiting for these thoughts to turn positive or to go away before … Read more ...
