TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I am a classically trained artist who has benefited from a long lineage of teaching artists dating back to 19th century France and beyond. As part of this tradition, an important part of my artistic practice involves sharing the knowledge that's been passed down to me as well as the lessons I've learned from experience in my own studio.
I strive to create a professional, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in my classes to keep the focus on learning and allow students to calmly approach what can be the very difficult task of creating art.
I'm available to teach a regular art class or a one-time workshop. I am qualified to teach drawing, oil/acrylic painting, and watercolor classes. If you're interested in taking a class or need teaching faculty for your organization, please contact me at art@ericmarch.com.
