There is nothing happenstance about my classes. Art is like any other subject; if you want to be good at it you have to STUDY and WORK! Just like math or science you start at the beginning and build skill upon skill through many years of work. Art doesn’t just ‘happen.’ Sometimes people will ask me how long it took me to paint a painting. My reply will often be something like, ‘Oh, a lifetime.’ Here is just a small part of my preparation for this week’s classes.

Upcoming Art Classes
Gathering supplies for my new students - can’t wait to meet them! Classes start SOON and I am gearing up! I have a couple spots left in each class so look up www.hisclasses.org or www.ttcclasses.com and let me know if you want in. These are formal, weekly art classes for homeschooled students ages 9-18 through the entire school year. The websites:
And, a little known fact about me - I almost never erase to get rid of a mistake. Not that I don’t make a LOT of mistakes, I just draw so lightly and loosely in the beginning that the mistakes simply get covered up. Do you see how these art erasers are flat? That’s because they’re for oh so much more than deleting bad stuff. They’re good for drawing in ‘light.’ They do highlights, reflections, light lines, smudging, strands of hair... all this can be erased out of dark values with the edge these babies have. Love these things!
Want to join in on the fun and creativity? Check out the websites and let me know!*
* If you’re interested in privates, I give them as well. Just ask.
