Artist Mentorship
For the beginner, or experienced artist, who would like to enhance their practice!
Emily's experience as an art teacher and mentor for creative interns at her various places of employment in the design industry has provided her with the skills and knowledge to gently guide students to discover their innate creative desires.
Hire her to either teach you various skills and techniques in art and design that you are looking to enhance or to just simply hold you accountable in order to meet your goal-oriented deadlines.
This is a great opportunity for support in active critique for constructive growth.

Foundations Drawing
We will explore the basics of 'seeing' and connecting to our surroundings by investigating objects and landscapes through the elements and principles of art and design. Emphasis is placed on exploring the individual's expressive line work, attention to texture, and value for shading.
Clients who purchase a series of lessons in advance will create a sketchbook of their work, and learn how to create dynamic visual studies for more interesting drawing investigations.
Includes the use of paper, a drawing pencil, a viewfinder tool, ink, and paint brushes.*

Imaginative Creature Drawing and Painting
Do you see creatures or other images in your everyday surroundings and wish that you could bring them more to life!?
Great for all ages! Includes practices of art critique to hone the observation skills for envisioning and focus. This can be taken as a one-class session or expanded into a 4-5 week workshop to enhance creative practice and a well-crafted final work of art.
We will explore abstract expressionism paired with intentional drawing methods in order to create the qualities of believable eyes and features of an imaginary creature.
