My comments on tutoring Painting : I have been painting and teaching in the Rochester area for 27 years. At my studio I teach acrylic painting, decorative painting and beginning colored pencil lessons and workshops. We paint on wood, tin, glass or canvas. No experience is necessary to produce beautiful work at my studio. STudents can use a pattern if they have no drawing experience and I teach students to base paint, shade and highlight their work to give it dimension and make it "pop".
I am a relaxed teacher. I love to help student's explore what they'd like to learn or paint. I offer as much or as little direction as a student needs. I like to challenge my students to paint works that may be just a bit beyond what they think they are capable of because they always surprise themselves. Painting is nourishing. It is a privilege to teach and watch how it enriches lives!
I have 27 years of painting and teaching experience. I am an Assistant Professor at MCC whre I teach in Health Education. I have taught in numerous places and with numerous populations including at BOCES, Penfield and Perinton Recreation Dept's, Michaels Crafts, Catholic Family Center, and currently at my own studio (Hope In Art Studio, Frpt NY).
