Holiday gifts

Happy Holidays everyone!!

The season is in full swing (since October in the retail shops!!) and the weather is turning a bit cold as well. I can do without the snow though...even though a little dusting of white would be nice on Christmas Day!!

Of course with all the season's cheer, comes shopping for loved ones. A wonderful Christmas gift to someone creative would be lessons on pottery, oils, drawing, or any of the arts for that matter. I am now accepting reservations for my beginners classes (oil and drawing) for people of all ages. Classes will be offered as well as individual lessons if that is preferred.

In the beginners classes, you will start with simple lessons dealing with shapes and light effects on the shapes. You will start with a limited palette of blue, red, yellow and white. Even though this is a limited palette you will learn color theory and how these colors actually provide you with more color range than all the tube made products. We'll develop your eye to see color (this is very important)! After completing the lesson paintings, you will be able to choose a painting you want to do and we'll work together in creating your first painting. There will be some formal instruction and then 1:1 instruction while you are painting. The first class session will be a 10 week term.

The same will occur in a private tutoring session, but you will be one on one with me the whole time. Of course, private sessions cost more than the class sessions. Appointments for the private sessions will be made at each session, no term rates will be offered for private tutoring--providing more flexible scheduling for the student.

Don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions.
Enjoy the seasons and we look forward to working with you to make 2007 a great and colorful year!!
