"Great Drawing Teacher! I have truly enjoyed my drawing lessons with Rachel. She is fun to work with, patient, and good
at getting concepts across. Excellent!" - Mickey F. on March 23, 2008
"Rachel, you have taught me how to paint, how to
improve, how to draw a mural. But most of all you taught me to see myself as an artist. You've given me confidence.
Thank
you for investing in my future." - Judy H on Sept 20,2008
"The participants absolutely LOVE the mural especially the toddlers who play eating the fruits and are constantly touching
the cat and dog. We have received
compliments upon compliments on how great the place looks." - Yadia Hinds, M.H.A, CDN, CLC, Director, WIC
Program, Woodhull Hospital on July 18, 2009
Individual classes for artists. Beginners welcome, including the young students in grade, junior or high school.
Portfolio development. If you come to the studio we can paint together and talk. Our talks combine critique, answering questions,
my giving suggestions. Our work will be dynamic, and you will always have either a brush, pencil or stick of charcoal in your
hand. Two hour painting sessions are ideal. If you want, you can copy what I am doing on my canvas, observe what I am doing
and apply it to your own unique effort. If you have the time and the resources to come to 2 hour private lessons each week,
wonderful, or we can meet every other week. Home work, can be given, and all art that you do develops the artist within and
without. Learn to leave the details for the end, find and develop the big elements of your drawing or painting first. Discover
the dynamic line and develop manual dexterity with eye hand coordination. Train yourself to see, and then draw what you see.
Perspective and the Landscape. Drawing interiors, magical or realistic. The self portrait. Color development. Composition....how
to set up and draw a still life...the metaphysics of the ordinary object. Where to position your lighting and why. Drawing...how
