Why Choose Paint and Practice?

Unleash Your Vision: Purposeful, Passionate, Powerful Oil Painting

🎨 My Artistic Style & Teaching Philosophy:

 

I specialize in realistic oil painting—but not the hyper-detailed kind that imitates a photograph. My style brings together classical technique with a personal, expressive touch. Each painting reflects not just what I see, but how I feel about the subject, blending observation with artistic interpretation.

 

In my courses, you’ll dive into the essentials of oil painting—from understanding your tools and materials to mastering brushwork, color mixing, composition, and more. Along the way, I’ll guide you in developing the artist’s eye—learning not just to paint what you see, but to truly see like an artist.

 

We’ll start with realism as a strong foundation, exploring how light, shadow, and form bring a painting to life. From there, you’ll learn how to break the rules intentionally and creatively, giving rise to a style that’s entirely your own. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your technique, you'll leave with more than new skills—you'll leave with confidence, clarity, and your unique artistic voice.
