You know that pile of unfinished paintings you have? What is keeping you from finishing them? Maybe something’s not working in your painting and you don’t know how to fix it. I will point you in the right direction and help you to resolve problem areas. Whether it’s technique, color mixing, composition, or value, I’ll help you improve your work and your skills.
