Y o u  C a n  P a i n t
There are no prerequisites for painting classes. No experience or "talent" is required, just a desire to paint. Be gentle with yourself concerning your expectations. A first time painter will produce a simple, beautiful painting, while a painter with some experience will have a more detailed approach. Creating is an adventure that you get better at with experience. Have fun and keep painting.

The wet-on-wet method works by applying a medium to a canvas prior to painting. This allows paints to be moved and blended right on the canvas without adding additional medium. This method works best with thick paints. Paintings are completed in one session. This method is very forgiving.

If you are a school, studio or business please contact
    me concerning fees, supplies and arrangements.

* Class fees may be affected by location costs. Some charge little if any, for classroom use while others charge a nominal fee. To offset any increase two methods are used. Increase the minimum number of attendees and/or charge a nominal palette fee. If a palette fee is necessary it will be noted. Palette fees are paid to the instructor, not to the location.

Hosting A Class

You may host a class in several ways. The class(es) may be a one time event or may be scheduled over a period of time. Private classes may be held in your home or other suitable location. Public classes should be held outside of private homes. Community centers, churchs, recreation centers, etc., are all possible places to hold a class. If needed, tables and chairs can be arranged.
Responsibilty will vary depending upon the amount of involvement you wish to have. Some may just wish to "locate" a place where classes can be held and others may want to act as a representative. The person hosting (or locating) the class will receive benefits. Contact me and we can work out the details. Phone 248.393.2631 or email opt.morris@yahoo.com

Private Classes

There are two types of private/one person classes available.
The first is a painting class. A particular painting is chosen and worked on.
The second is a techniques class. Certain areas of the painting style are practiced.
You must provide ALL of the supplies for either class.
The fee for a private class is $20 per hour with a minimum of 5 hours plus a travel fee which, of course will vary according to location.
Although private classes are best for experienced painters they are open to anyone.
Arrangments must be made at least one month in advance and a $40 non-refundable deposit is required.
Contact me with any questions. Contact info is at the top and bottom of page.

Registration

Registration is of vital importance as it allows me to prepare for the proper number of students. If you wish to attend a class and cannot register please call me and let me know. If a contact name and number is available (on the SCHEDULE page) please make your arrangements through them.

Classes are dependant on a minimum number of students and your registration may make the difference.
