Learn to paint the beauty you see and the art you feel. Do you ever envision a beautiful image in your mind, but when you attempt to create that same image on paper or canvas it takes on a life of its own and wanders into the abyss? Leaving you wondering where you went wrong, as well as feeling frustrated and defeated? Well, you can create the beauty you see and art you feel as long as you have the desire and dedication it takes to learn how.
The Art with Dana Childs Show takes you on a journey from foundational drawing skills, into painting with watercolors and beyond. Throughout the journey you will learn a wide range of skills, design, composition, art history and techniques and exercises that help you become a more intuitive artist, able to create your own expressive works of art. We will make the occasional side-trip to visit and interview local artists in their studios and learn about what inspires them to create, as well as take a look at what’s going on in the local art community.
