What No Teacher Can Do
With 14 years of teaching art behind me, I have reached a few conclusions. Every art student wants to become a better artist. Some students have more teachable spirits, and that’s a real bonus for them. However, the instructor also needs to work hard on communicating art skills to each student at their own individual level.

Art Critiques
Such an enjoyable afternoon yesterday with the Brush and Palette Club doing art critiques for them! Thanks for inviting me. And now anyone can have me critique paintings too, by email. After you have clicked the “buy now” button in the right column of this page, and paid for the number of paintings you would like critiqued, you simply emal a photo of your painting(s). (You don’t need a Paypal account, just a credit card to do this.) I will respond by email with a detailed critique of your painting – both strengths and weaknesses. It’s a great way to grow your art.
