Model Horse Painting Classes - News and Updates!

This summer has brought many surprising turns for me, the most wonderful and happiest being the opportunity to teach model horse painting classes during the last few weeks of this season!

I have several students registered for some very exciting projects. Some participants will be painting their very first pieces EVER in their class! Others are already professional model horse artists, with the balance of my students falling somewhere in between.

A few students have chosen to bring one prepped body and work from start to finish on a specific color or pattern. A few others are bringing multiple bodies so they can "play" with a bunch of media that they have never tried, such as hand applied acrylics, oils, pastels, pigments, and pencils.  One student will be doing a "practice" run of the exact bay coat color of her real horse, so she can later (with this practice behind her) apply the same color to a resin that looks just like her beautiful Morgan. Another is painting a portrait of her own varnish Appaloosa!

My one surprise is that opening up the classes to "private" instruction with just one participant and their own dreams has meant a lot more planning on my end. This is all highly worth while for me, because I know that I'll be delivering exactly what each student desires to learn.

I still have room for more classes and participants. Please remember that the price is just $15 per hour of instruction (with a two hour minimum). Why so low? A really nice "perk" on my end is that I get to work on my own project during the class, so my student can see how I work, usually painting the same color that I'm teaching. These projects will eventually develop into sales or collection pieces for me, so I can pass on that perk for me as a "discount" to my students!
