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.

This is an example of what artists have to contend with all the time. Why do they pick on us? I get these every day, along with Wanting to buy NFT or electronic funds. All are bogus. I have much better things to do with my time thank you. When I say serious inquiries only, I used to be talking about those from real people. If you are real and interested in my art, please inquire. ... See MoreSee Less
