You know that painting is a wonderful thing to be able to do and yet most people are a little nervous to start. You do not know whether you will be able to paint, you are nervous about looking like a novice in front of strangers and you may have been discouraged at some point in your life. You likely do not even know what materials are right for you. You might not know all about art and other artists. You might not even know which eye is your dominant one. No problem. 

The good news is that you can paint and that you have found the perfect teacher to introduce you gently to this special world. Gary’s classroom is a safe place to experiment and try exercises that bring awareness of visual concepts. You will be delighted with the experience.

Even though the classes are for beginners this does not mean it is a babysitting class. Yes you will have fun but YOU WILL ACTUALLY LEARN AND DEVELOP. Join us!

Maximum of 10 students per class
