Gouache is an opaque watercolor, easily accessible to beginners. I am offering three-hour private lessons in my studio or virtually on zoom. Typically classes are weekday or weekend mornings from 10 am -1 pm, but I can be flexible on the timing. All levels are welcome. We commonly work from a still life set up, but I open to other subjects. I am interested in helping each student paint in the way they are most excited about, giving them the tools and skills they need to bring their vision into reality.

My teaching philosophy is built upon a foundation of curiosity, playfulness, and the belief that painting is for everybody. My goal is for students to gain an appreciation for the medium, a better understanding of composition and color mixing, and a willingness to make mistakes and have fun in the process.
