Over the years I have encountered unskillful amateurs with slick formulas at the teaching helm.  They lead their unfortunate followers into a great void that is as far removed from the world of fine art as it is possible to be.   

Although painting can be a relaxing pastime, it requires concentration and discipline.  Above all a painting must be good.  There are no “three easy steps” and unless one is sketching, a painting should be worked on over a period of days, not minutes.

My Master Classes are designed to develop the potential talent of the student and to give a new appreciation for painting in the true sense of the word.

So let’s not be kept ignorant on the subject, but let’s begin to look at art with new eyes and a passionate heart for not only what is beautiful, but also what is good.
