Art Instruction

Sharing the process and joy of creating art is a very important part of being an artist.  Brush and Sketch Art Studio, founded by my wife Nancy and I provides inspiration and instruction for young artists and adults.  We offer group and private art instruction in a variety of mediums:  watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, pencil, gouache, oil, and digital.  Nancy works with our younger artists and I work with adults who are passionate about growing their skill and creating fine art. 

Our studio offers workshops and critiques; coaching with paintings in progress or series of paintings; plein air painting and studio work; from basic principles to advanced.

It would be a privilege to work with you and help you take your art to the next level.
