About Scott
With over 40 years of experience as a full-time independent artist, I have dedicated my life to exploring, creating, and teaching abstract painting. My work is rooted in self-expression, bold experimentation, and breaking traditional boundaries. I believe that art is for everyone, and my goal as a tutor is to help students find their unique artistic voice—whether they’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to expand their creative techniques. I emphasize freedom, confidence, and emotional connection to the canvas, encouraging artists to trust their instincts while learning practical techniques that bring their visions to life. My classes are hands-on, immersive, and tailored to each student’s journey. I don’t just teach techniques—I guide students through the creative mindset, helping them build confidence and embrace the unexpected. Whether you’re looking to experiment, refine your skills, or completely redefine your artistic approach, I’m here to support and inspire you every step of the way. Let’s create something powerful together.

My Approach to Teaching Abstract Painting
Teaching Method & Techniques
I believe abstract painting is about freedom, exploration, and personal expression. My teaching method focuses on building confidence in your artistic instincts while introducing techniques that enhance creativity. I guide students through:
Layering & Texture – Using brushes, palette knives, and unconventional tools to create depth.
Color & Composition – How to balance colors, contrast, and movement.
Emotional Expression – Translating thoughts and feelings into visual art.
Mixed Media & Experimentation – Pushing boundaries with different materials and techniques.
This isn’t about “right” or “wrong”—it’s about finding your unique artistic voice.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Each session is designed to be immersive and hands-on, structured yet flexible:
Warm-up – Quick exercises to loosen up creativity.
Technique Focus – A deep dive into a specific skill or method.
Guided Experimentation – Creating abstract pieces with my feedback.
Discussion & Reflection – Understanding your work and next steps for growth.
Lessons are adapted to your pace and interests, making each experience personal and engaging.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
With 40+ years of painting experience, I bring not just technical skills, but insight into the artistic journey—the highs, the struggles, and the breakthroughs. I don’t just teach painting; I help students develop a mindset that fosters creativity and self-expression. My approach is:
Encouraging & Supportive – No judgment, just growth.
Hands-On & Interactive – Less theory, more doing.
Customized to Each Student – Everyone’s artistic journey is different.

These classes are perfect for:
Beginners looking to explore painting for the first time.
