Class Content: Paint these bright summer poppies with me! This painting is very impressionistic with loose strokes. We will be painting a 11×14 canvas with acrylics. (If you have payment issues, contact me to pay directly at the Contact Information link above.)
I will guide beginners step-by-step through the following, and of course more experienced painters might add more detail. We’ll focus on:
- Simplified shapes (no overwhelming detail)
- Loose, painterly brushwork
- Creating depth with soft drybrush stroke layers
- Building confidence with acrylic techniques
This class is designed to help you finish a painting even if you’re a newbie. I will have an outline available, but encourage you to change it up and make it your own. The style is very loose but allows for you to put your own touches on it if you like more detail.
All supplies included – just come ready to paint and have fun.
Supply List: All supplies included, just wear an apron or shirt that can get paint on it just in case
Biography: I’m an artist and teacher with a lifelong love of art. My journey began raised as the daughter of missionaries in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where as early as the age of 3 my mom said art was the only thing that could get me to sit still!
In Argentina, art is heavily interwoven into school curriculum, so it was the perfect place to fuel my creative spark. After three years at a professional art school there, I moved to the U.S. for college and continued to find ways to make art a part of my world including painting portraits for a little extra cash.
Teaching has always been close to my heart. I’ve been sharing my passion for painting for over 20 years, starting out teaching kids in homeschool co-ops. Now I’m lucky enough to teach in-person classes at seven different locations, including a gallery, local art store and a College Lifelong Learning program.
My teaching philosophy is simple: I believe that art should be fun and stress-free. I’m a patient and encouraging teacher who wants everyone to feel confident and relaxed in their art journey. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to explore new techniques, My mission is to guide you step by step in a friendly, supportive environment.
No matter your experience level, you’re welcome in my classes—and I can’t wait to help you discover your Inner Artist!
