What Makes My Private Art Lessons Unique
/
Downtown Forest Painting by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)
I’ve had a lot of inquiries recently about my art classes, so this seems like a good time to put out some information for everyone who’s interested. Therefore, the painting I’m including for this week’s post is related to my classes and my unique approach to teaching art.
About this painting
This week’s featured image, Downtown Forest Painting, is a small original abstract artwork made with acrylics, pastels, and sand on paper. It is part of my Little Gems Series.
I was living in the suburbs on a very busy street when I created this painting. It was essentially my version of hell and I would often put on noise-cancellation headphones and imagine being in a forest. The painting was created from this contrasting situation of finding silence surrounded by noise.
How my art lessons work
This painting was selected by one of my students. They chose this particular painting for their one-on-one Zoom lesson with me. Then during the private 1-hour art lesson, we basically go through the steps and they learn how to recreate this painting.
Therefore, the way I structure my art lessons is that you first go to my Little Gems Series on Saatchi Art. There are around 400 paintings in the collection for you to look through, so please take your time.
Once you find the painting that speaks to you, we’ll use that painting for our one-on-one session. In the hour-long lesson, I go through and I show you step-by-step how to create the painting that you've selected. I not only show you the techniques behind it, but the materials that I'm using and also the painting principles that are applied.
Before starting the lesson, please consult my small guide on how to set up your creative workspace and check out my list of the basic art materials you need to start painting.
