Classes
I teach Kennesaw State University KSU/Olli Courses, including an advance oil painting or All Prima.
All these classes are very economical and financial assistance is available too. Come over to the Olli campus for the studio classes. I have a good group with varied skill levels. The new All Prima class is for those wishing to push into intensive and more advanced still life and portraiture.
The Plein Air class meets in locations around the area and if the weather is prohibitive I teach fundamentals inside that will improve your outdoor painting.
