My Students

“The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.” ― Vincent van Gogh. Help my art students feel alive with quality paint palettes and a variety of brushes to help them paint the images and ideas they have in their minds.

My art students are highly engaged and motivated young artists who consistently amaze me with their creative ideas and artworks.

It is often challenging to ensure that they have the quality art tools and materials they need to bring their artworks to light.

My Project

With these double sided palettes designed to keep the paints fresh from day to day, both my watercolor painting students and acrylic painting students will be able to ensure the colors they are working with will not dry out overnight. A variety of brush sizes will help my young artists in all stages of their paintings, from the beginning underlying of tone and value to the final details necessary for completion. I can not wait to see the paintings my students will be able to create for their portfolios with these palettes and brush sets!

Many of my art students do not have art supplies available to them outside their art classroom.

I always try to make sure they have a variety of high quality art materials so they can develop their ability and talent. Painting is like magic to them - in fact, my students always say when they are painting the hour flies by faster than any other class. I am excited to see how these palettes and brushes will encourage them further.
