FAQs
I'm just beginning. Can I work with you?
If you are an artist with a basic knowledge of painting up to a lifelong experienced artist, I want to work with you. I just ask that you are at least 16 years old.
Will you critique my paintings?
The only way to improve is to paint and evaluate what works and, as importantly, what doesn't work. I will give constructive criticism, but NEVER make you feel badly. I will encourage you to explore throughout the process. I will help you discover what works for you and how you can make the most of your talent and skills.
Why are these classes one-on-one?
Do you want to try collage and mixed media? Do you want to learn to paint with oils? Are you developing a portfolio for college or graduate programs? Each lesson plan is unique and tailored to you. In our first meeting we will discuss your goals and the direction you would like to take.
What supplies do I need?
I encourage you to have all your supplies ready with you when we meet including, but not limited to canvases, boards, paints, mediums, and brushes. I will give you a supply list once we discuss your unique and personal direction. Each student will get a customized supply list. I will have my supplies available to try while at my studio.
Where do we meet?
We will meet in my purple backyard studio. If you'd feel more comfortable, we can also meet at your home or outside.
What is your refund policy?
Because I'm working one-on-one with you, I am flexible with scheduling and content. If you can't make a set appointment, we can just reschedule! Once you pay for a class, though, there are no refunds, but I will always make time for you. Sign up today and our first meeting together is FREE if we agree to continue our collaboration. Each lesson thereafter will be the low introductory price of $50 (a value of $100).

What I have enjoyed most about working with Ruth-Anne is how positive and supportive she has been with me as I learn new painting techniques and skills. She also gives the best feedback and I have a much better understanding of what I can improve on in my paintings because of her.
