“I would highly recommend Craig’s Fundamentals of Painting class to anyone who wants to learn to paint, but thought a natural talent was necessary.  His instructions were very basic for those who had no prior knowledge of painting.    He clearly explained the different mediums and encouraged the students to choose the one they wanted to work with.  His patience and willingness to answer endless questions were much appreciated.  I was sorry when the class ended.  I left with the confidence that I can build on the basics I learned.  I’m looking forward to future art classes with Craig.”

“As an art teacher, I have had a few painting classes, which included working with oils and watercolor paints. I took Fundamentals of Painting to learn some techniques to use with acrylics. In the third class we really began working and learning processes which i found extremely helpful. I had never used acrylics as a transparent media and gained a new appreciation for the media. Craig was very helpful in instructing how to go from idea, to drawing onto the canvas and finally to painting the piece. Thanks, I wish the class hadn’t ended yet!”

“As a result of taking Craig’s class, I came away with a painting I could be proud of, along with the knowledge and desire to create more. Craig’s guidance helped me to learn hands-on about mixing and blending colors, layering paint, brush techniques, composition, and lots more. I learned a great deal, and was very pleased with the class.”
