Virtual Acrylic Painting 101

Testimonial:  "Because I was new to painting and navigating Zoom for the first time, I had no idea how a virtual class would go for me when I signed up for Kathleen Spencer Johns's virtual painting class. I really enjoyed the Zoom format! Whether you're a beginner or a highly skilled artist, Kathleen knows how to meet you where you are and to help you cultivate your skills. She, also, is adept technically and is able to navigate the computer/zoom medium while giving personalized instruction. She makes it easy for you.

    Testimonial: "The pandemic has forced us to rely only on zoom for art classes but Kathleen has designed some zoom classes that will be beneficial even when we are able to return to her in-person classes. We learn by painting, along with her instructions, and by showing her our progress for immediate critique.  With multiple students in the class we also benefit from her constructive criticism of the others. It is surprising how much Kathleen is able to teach in this mode."  Gary Z
