Thanks very much for your great critique. I agree.

I like the idea of playing with the paints to see what I can make.

I know that with your help and perseverance, I will become a better painter.

Private Art Coaching with Barbara Simmons

I have received several emails over the years from artists who wanted to take classes with me, but they lived too far away. As a result, I have started private coaching online.

Each of these private consultations is created to suit the individual needs of a single artist. Some artists need help with their artistic goals. Some artists need another pair of eyes to look at their paintings to see what they may not be seeing. Some artists need another voice to tell them what is working in their paintings. This is a critique-based approach. The feedback comes from the point of view of the visual and organizational components of design. To understand the artistic idea of the painting more completely, I ask the artist to send me photos via email of the painting, sketches, and reference materials. I also ask for a written description of the process, including the concept, choice of color and technical approach. My evaluation will be returned via email and will include a written critique and suggestions indicated on a copy of the painting and/or sketches. If the artist would like ideas and suggestions for further study, I will include these also. The coaching is monthly.

For artists living in the Montreal area, I offer private coaching at my home studio. Coaching is scheduled to take place once a month. It is by appointment and the schedule can be arranged to meet the needs of the individual artist.

Private coaching is an extension of my OPEN STUDIO class. It has similar goals.
