Fun and Skill-Building for All Levels and Abilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Teaching is a thrill: seeing students enjoy creativity and acquire skills they previously thought were impossible. Everyone is fully capable of being artistic. By teaching with openness and a sense of adventure, the magic of it all is for everyone to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

All classes are for all levels: first-time beginners and those with experience to improve skills, with individual attention to advance at your own pace.<\/p>\n

“Linda Luisi is delight to have as an instructor. Her lessons are clear, packed with insight, and directed toward what each student needs most. Kind and thoughtful, Luisi is an asset to the art world. I have learned much about composition, technique, creating a vibrant color palette, and have a better overall art aesthetic. Being in her class is a wonderful investment that I highly recommend.” – Cherie Kephart, author of A Few Minor Adjustments<\/em><\/p>\n

Linda teaches perspective. Above are examples of her mural and painting commissions requiring perspective. Realistic, expressive, and abstract art require perspective for subject matter to look well grounded and for objects to be sized properly depending how near or far they are. A solid knowledge of perspective will add more depth and dimension to your work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
