Instruction in Traditional Oil Painting
Offering small, personalized, interactive classes in the relaxed setting of my own studio. Each student is guided through painting projects that will serve to build an understanding of composition, color, form, light and shadow.
We are composing and painting still lifes from the many beautiful props I have collected over the years, or from favorite objects brought into class. We are also exploring all other subject matter with the use of photo reference.
The current class schedule is Thursday and Sunday beginning at 10:30 with time available throughout the day. Studio time is flexible so artists can continue working as long as their inspiration dictates. Come and paint with us! Beginners are welcome! Fee: $140.00 for four classes.
If you have a question or would like to visit the studio/gallery, give me a call at 781 659 7567 , or email me at
