"A testimony to the value of this program: I just sold my first abstract piece of art!"
Andrea has every requisite skill so critical to being a great teacher; she is inspiring, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. All her video lessons are excellent; they are objective oriented and easy to understand. Her exercises on color were more meaningful than anything I’ve ever read or learned before; they really helped me to understand how to use and mix color. Taking this course has opened the door to a whole new world of possibilities as it relates to abstract art...and I love it!-Audrey Markowitz
“I am an absolute beginner in the visual arts in general, and certainly in abstract acrylic painting! I was afraid I would not have the basic tools to take an online painting class, but this was not the case. Andrea’s class is an brilliant collection of video demonstrations and lectures (starting with the bare basics and progressing to how to tell if a painting is done), live on-line critiques, and homework. I learned enough to create paintings while having fun! Andrea has so much expertise in teaching, she makes it look effortless. Shecreates a safe and exciting environment to learn for beginners, as well as intermediate painters. I feel inspired to continue!”
Tina Carlson
“I now look at paintings…mine and others…in a new way. Too many art classes simply teach/reflect the style of the teacher in place of core principles and encouragement to craft one’s own style. ”
Jan Patterson
“I had never painted before, but Andrea made it so easy to get started. The demonstration videos walk you through Andrea's process but also encourage you to experiment, step out of your comfort zone and find what works for you. I have really enjoyed the group critiques that pull everything together. They are a supportive forum for getting feedback on your work and a space where you can ask questions if you’re feeling stuck or want to learn more about materials, or process. Andrea has such a generous spirit and shares her wealth of knowledge and experience in ways that really help you grow as an artist. After taking this class, I feel like I now have concrete foundational skills and principles that have really built my confidence.”
Alexia Lewnes
“Andrea is a phenomenal teacher who has a gift to teach the technical aspects of painting and encourage you to find your own voice as an artist. I have grown in my work from her support, encouragement, as well as her kind and meaningful constructive critiques of my work.”
