Students in an Acrylic Painting 101 workshop

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do you teach
​Acrylic Painting 101?

• I generally teach it as a workshop once or twice a year in Calistoga, California, in the Napa Valley. It's taken me a year to work on recovery from the 2017 Tubbs Wildfire, and I've finally scheduled my next one for January of 2020. If you are interested in having me come teach it for your own group, please contact me.

• I also teach Acrylic Painting and Mixed Media classes on a regular basis at the Calistoga Art Center, in Calistoga, on Friday afternoons, from 11 AM to 2 PM.

• I will eventually be offering it as an online class, I hope beginning in 2020. 
• I am looking into teaching Acrylic Painting 101 workshops at other locations in Northern California. If you're interested, let me know!

Do you teach landscape painting?

• Yes, I teach workshops on both Landscape Painting and Abstract Landscape Painting in Calistoga. Acrylic Painting 101 is designed to give you a good foundation, so you can go on to something more complex, such as painting landscapes, if you choose.
• If you are interested in having me come teach painting landscapes for your own group, please contact me.
• I also teach landscape painting to students who want to study it in my regular Acrylic Painting classes in Calistoga.
• I will be offering instruction in landscape and abstract landscape painting as an online class.

Do you teach mixed media or collage painting using acrylics?

• Yes, I do. You can learn more about my Adventures in Mixed Media workshops at NapaValleyArtWorkshops.com.

• I also teach workshops in The Secrets of Color Harmony, Drawing and Sketching, and Soft Block Printing — and occasionally a few others, too.
