I offer multiple workshops and classes in both drawing and painting. Most of my classes are taught at The Academy of Realist Art Boston, where I trained. See current offerings for both online classes and in person classes below.
I also have some FREE or low cost instructional videos and handouts over at Gumroad.

Brush Set
I have a brush set offered through Trekell. These are the brushes I use for all of my work. If my set is sold out, you can buy them individually as well. I prefer the Spectrum Brights for color studies and my rendering/detail work, Hog Bristles for my first pass of paint or fur/hair texture, and the Golden Taklon Fan brush or Mop to soften edges or to knowck down unwanted texture. Use this link for the general Trekell website. I am also trying out the Cat’s Tongue shaped golden taklon brush and I’m really liking it for a more organic shaped stroke (the brights give a bit more of a boxy shaped stroke)
