"I am an artist that specializes in realism and some abstract art. My favorite art tools would surprise you: I like the typical pencil, acrylic, and oil paints, but when it comes to drawing in ink I always draw with a BIC Crystal pen. I specialize in freehand and traced portraits. I can do all kinds of 2D design but I specialize in realism. I can teach how to paint with acrylics, oils, and spray paint. I also can teach how to use the different tools for drawing and painting. I hold a BA in anthropology and history from Augusta University, a MA of Heritage Preservation from Georgia State University, and I am a graduate of Art Instruction Schools.

In regards to my tutoring methods I start off by having the student bring to me examples of their artwork and we start based of off their experience level. I start off teaching them how to draw and erase properly, how to hold the pencil or pen, and how to apply lines to the paper. As the student progresses I will have them draw more complicated objects. If the student wishes to advance to the painting stage we will take finished drawings and use them for the paintings. I will show them step-by-step how to go through the painting process." less...
