FOR MORE INFORMATION Contact Robert for more info.

Based on the Power of Positive Painting© method, with Robert Maniscalco: Robert will teach you to think like a painter. He presents a short drawing/painting lesson at the beginning of each session. Students may work in any medium and subject. Rob will provide/suggest reference material as necessary. We will set goals together and tailor the work to the individual needs of the student. Goals can be as broad as mastering an idiom like portraiture or landscape. Or they can be as specific as learning to develop a greater variety of edges in oil painting. Honest observation will be the key. The instruction will be tailored to allow for a deepening of the individual’s unique approach and response to the project at hand. Expect lots of individual attention here. These small group classes will be at the artist’s studio at 5440 Ansley Trail, North Charleston 29418.

Let me know if you want to be part of a class in my North Charleston studio.
