Sharing The Journey

 

Are you frustrated with your paintings lacking freshness, accuracy, or a lifelike quality?

Do you want to feel confident in your artistic abilities and see significant progress in your work?

I've been teaching art for over 30 years and there is nothing I love more than helping people become better artists!  And that is exactly why I created Sharing the Journey, my membership group. 

Sharing the Journey is designed to solve these challenges by providing clear, practical lessons that enhance your ability to see and capture the essentials on the first pass. By improving your observational skills and knowing "what to look for", you'll make fewer initial mistakes which will mean you'll create stronger, more dynamic paintings.
