Casual adventures in Plein Air oil/watercolor

Join me in oil painting/pastel/watercolor in and around Detroit.  Weather permitting per session!  Call in advance.

first contact me at: u4sales@live.com

One must have at a minimum: drawing ability to understand general perspective.  From there, we can progress with color even ifyou're not familiar with pastel/oil/water paint.  ( I can advise and will help, yet you do need a commitment to yourself to be open and ready to accept helpful criticism)

Due to the nature of this matter, the site will not allow exact location(s). Therefore please contact me well in advance of any proposed date such to review your ability to draw/paint etc. further, I will assess whether or not you're capable of the work. 

I am looking to create a small group of dedicated painters to work with and give instruction on color, color theory, composition and general craft of painting.  Of course I do understand there are many of you who have levels of ability and will work with you as long as you are dedicated to the work.  I am a professional artist/designer and have a considerable resume if you wish to discuss such.

The fee above represents three sessions. A maximum of  3 students will be accepted at any one session. Please be prepared to bring all you own equipement, including plein aire paint box, easel, stool, lunch, water, etc.

My works have sold in the "Our Town" show and at Mullaly's 128 Gallery along with the Kona Gallery in HI.

I've painted many different locations around metro Detroit for years and especially like the river front.  Please see the attached photos and for more information regarding studies and outings, contact me at: u4sales@live.com
