Paint a Masterpiece a Day
is a unique painting course I designed for students of all ages, abilities and levels of experience, from beginner to professional artist. No pre-requisite required, except a desire to paint.
While teaching at various venues with participants of all ages from different walks of life, from age 5 to adult, I discovered that the biggest difference between these groups is that the youngest students have the greatest confidence in their abilities. Over time, most adults acquire an "inner critic" that chips away at their self esteem. This negative inner voice can make it virtually impossible for some to enjoy the process of painting, regardless of interest.
I consider it my mission to help all my students, from age 5+ to learn to paint in acrylics and move beyond their inner critic. Using masterworks as inspiration, along with a lot of positive encouragement, I move step -by-step through each part of the painting. By the end of each session, participants will have a completed canvas. My only requirement is a willingness to use kind, positive adjectives in describing ones' own efforts. The words "can't, terrible, bad, etc." are simply not allowed. It is amazing how much we can accomplish by silencing our inner critic.
In each session, we recreate a different masterpiece from artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt and Claude Monet. In an effort to reduce the frustrations that many experience, I use 5 specific paint colors. Each student will explore what happens when they mix these colors and enjoy the process of getting to know their inner artist.
