Teaching Philosophy
I have always focused on fundamentals when teaching painting. I find most students, even those who have taken classes previously, benefit from concentrating on understandings of the formal qualities of painting; color, light and shadow, edge quality, tonal relationships. 

When the student is taught to analyze their subject matter and their painting in terms of these formal qualities they feel more confident in approaching any subject matter and painting. The objective of my instruction is to help the student to develop a more perceptive eye and be more sensitive in using their materials.
