Class Schedule / Demos

 
 
Always use the best equipment you can afford. I use only Rembrandt and Windsor Newton Artist Series (Not Winton) and buy my supplies at www.jerrysartarama.com or www.dickblick.com  for the best prices. The Micheals store does NOT have everything you need. OrdPLEIN AIR PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED

Sign up with me. Send a message for details
Tues, Sept 9 - Oct 21, 2025
We will meet at the Ellison Building at 9:15 and I will tell you where we will paint that day.
I will begin with an informative demonstration to help students see how to begin and finish a painting in one session with easy to understand instructions. I will work with you on an individual basis to help you improve at your own speed. The group will be small so there will be no crowding. This group will utilize the discipline of Academic Traditional Methods with the freedom of "Alla Prima" to help each person learn the fundamentals to create a painting that is structurally sound in color, composition and technique.

Dianne is available to do demos for your art associations. She is also great with group critiques and judging shows! Please contact her to make your event exciting!

  
She is generous with both her praise and her critiques.     She also has tremendous patience and tolerance, handling all types of personalities and experience levels with ease.   Personally I feel that she has helped raise the level of my work by firmly challenging me when I may have been blind to problems or resistant to input.     She has made me feel that there is nothing I can't paint....what a gift!
  
Her phenomenal artwork continues to amaze us here in New England and beyond.   The fact that she can transfer that knowledge as a teacher is quite special."
 
Dianne is without question the hardest working and most effective teaching artist I have ever encountered.   Her class typically begins with a demo in which she rapidly captures the subject whether the venue is classroom or outdoors.   This study is then used by the class as a live reference.   She spends the entire class teaching and because she verbalizes everything, there is always something to learn and absorb.   She purposely keeps this constant and repetitive dialogue going so that the lessons and messages are digested if and when the student is ready to hear and internalize it.      Her commitment to making sure that her students understand is remarkable.   As she puts it, "I will find a way to explain it to you, even if it takes multiple ways before it clicks."
