Intermediate and advanced levels are welcome. Classes are primarily focused on oil painting, but Curney welcomes artists who work in acrylic and watercolor. The use of oil paint — from brushes and canvases to palette and technique — is the emphasis in these classes.

It's that time again! I'll be headed home from Iceland in February and will be offering classes starting Feb 11. I'd LOVE to have you join me in one of these classes, or, if none of them is right for you, we can set up private lessons that work for your schedule and your preferences.
My teaching philosophy involves offering you, the student, a rich, engaging, fun, encouraging resource-laden adventure as you begin or continue your creative journey. I recognize it can feel intimidating to begin to learn a new skill as an adult, so, especially in the Beginning classes, I teach discrete skills in a way that they can be learned then mastered. From there, you will learn other skills, and eventually, you'll be able to combine them to create paintings that will amaze you!
In the Intermediate and Continuing Education classes, the philosophy is the same - we build community as we build skills and confidence. My goal is for you to gain both the skills and the confidence necessary for you to make creating art a part of your life even when you're not in class.
Teaching is one of the things in my life that makes me happiest. I would love to have you in class!
Title | Dates | Time | Cost |
Continuing Education in Watercolor | Tues, 2/11 – 4/1, 8 weeks | 1-3:30 pm | $315 + $10 materials |

WINTER/SPRING STUDIO PAINTING CLASSES 2025
DRILLS TO MAKE YOU A BETTER PAINTER
Drills are designed to help you SEE like a painter and achieve the large value and color relationships before allowing yourself to indulge in details or second guess your instincts. You will be amazed with the immediate results when you follow the strict and clear guide lines of the drill. I have seen complete transformations in painters on a regular basis as a result of these drills. Good bye overworked, tight, dead paintings. Hello confident, loose and expressive paintings! Expect to paint one painting per class in it's entirety. I will provide reference photos for painting and will be in touch with appropriate canvas sizes to bring. If you have a plein air easel, please bring it. If you do not, let me know; one will be provided for you.
