Join Me - Learn To Paint

Do you love the 'look' of quick and loose brushwork? Do you labor for hours over a painting without much success? Have you ever felt timid about going thick with paint? If so then Speed Studies is for you! Speed Studies is a fun and fast paced way to learn painting fundamentals and grow as an artist. Build your skills, speed, and confidence with Speed Studies as we cover a wide range of topics.

Arizona Art Alliance is an active group in Tempe Arizona. Not only will you get to enjoy the beautiful weather and landscape, but learn how to paint it as well! Can't make the workshop? Join me for the instructional demo. 

Join me on Thursday's for a 10 week Speed Study Class. We'll cover a wide range of topics including color, brushwork, viewpoint, material exploration, multiple painting approach, and much more! 

Explore the Tuscan hillsides with me and document your experience in paint. This trip will be an excellent balance of cultural immersion and painting time. Not until 2016 so plenty of time to save up and join me for an Italian adventure!

Can't make the class? Join me for a weekend Speed Studies Workshop in Sacramento. We'll be covering a wide range of topics including: color exploration, unusual materials, brushwork, get thick and chunky, lighting situations, new subject matter, and unique viewpoints. Sign up today.

January - Florals

One of my most popular classes is Speed Studies. It's also a process that I like to keep up in the studios. Speed Studies are paintings created in a limited amount of time. I set the timer and attack (slightly exaggerated) the canvas. The great thing about speed studies is I can challenge myself each time by choosing the objective. For the month of January I've challenged myself to paint all floral pieces. It was nice having a great excuse to buy myself flowers. My studio is full of vases and different arrangements of flowers. Not only am I building up a theme of paintings, but it is pushing me to create unique set ups and compositions. Ideas for next months themes? Leave me a comment below.
