A Passion For Teaching

I am a national workshop instructor. For 30 years I have taught privately and for numerous organizations. I strive to make my demos and lectures passionate and inspiring. A comment heard often is that I make the painting process look easy. My methods of teaching and my ability to convey information continues to inspire and influence students to forever change how they view and paint what they see before them. I'm excited to get you started on this journey towards new artistic growth and to share my passion with you online!

"You can find random stock photos for free all over the web, yet they offer nothing of substance for the landscape painter. My Photo Reference Library for artists are high resolution images of great spots to paint all throughout New England. They are photo references taken with the eye of a professional landscape painter who wishes to share them with other painters."         ~David Lussier
