Online Classes

In keeping with the times and current state of affairs, I’m offering online classes in painting and drawing.

The format will be that I provide a subject we’ll both paint from, usually either a still life I’ve photographed or a painting or drawing to copy. I begin the classes with a demonstration of what we’re going to paint or draw. I explain how to begin, what materials to use: pencils, brushes and colors, and what to think about as you enhance your skills and learn some tricks of the trade.

Class times vary. Lessons are available at 1 – 2 hour lengths for individuals and 2 – 3 hour lengths for groups of 2 or more.

Prices:

Individual: 1 hour: $45; 2 hours: $60

Groups: 2 hour: $35 per student; 3 hours: $50

There are 2 instructional videos on YouTube:

About mbwilsonart

I’ve been drawing, painting and sculpting for more than 50 years and teaching, drawing and painting for 20 years. As a teenager I began to study to be an illustrator where I had classical training in the fundamentals of drawing and painting realistically, which I still use in both my own work and is the basis of my teaching. After graduating from the Boston Museum School I set up a studio in Waltham, MA, where I still work.
