I am getting a great response for my new class online. I have been so busy the past couple months teaching live and traveling, it was nice to get this project finished and up and running. I have learned so much from online classes myself and I try to keep the group interactive with lots of posting and conversation. It brings so much to an online class. It really creates a lovely community. I learn the most when the students are engaged and inspiring each other and that is what I hope to create for this class. I have a private Facebook page for students and myself to post and interact and I am available for critiques if requested. I understand some students are not comfortable with that and I respect that, If you feel more comfortable, I am available via email to offer that service. Critiques are a beneficial process to improvement.
All the videos are up and it is a self paced class but to keep the class alive and current, I will be working on a painting and sharing each week videos and images of my progression and if I struggle with it, all the better. Not every piece goes smoothly and sharing that struggle is so important.
Here are the images that I will be demonstrating in the class. Hope to see you there!

I am a California girl....well, I was born in Pittsburgh but moved to California in my early twenties and stayed for 30 years. I moved with my guy to Charlotte, NC in 2010 and had no idea what a life changing event was ahead of me. My current career as a print designer for the apparel business came to an abrupt end and I had to get my wits about me and figure out what I was going to do the rest of my life. I started painting and never stopped and now I am teaching. I love the creative process and I love sharing it. Life is sweet!!
