The Jack Warner Art Instutite, a division of the Warner Museum, offers classes for all levels 

I just taught my introductory course in oil painting.. a preview of my upcoming 6 weeks course, Problem Solving in Oil Painting at the Jack Warner Art Institute, situated in the Impressionists Gallery in the Westervelt-Warner Museum of American Art. 

What a magnificent and inspirational setting, surrounded by John Singer Sargent, Robert Henri, George Innes, Thomas Cole, Mary Cassat Winslow Homer... 

This Art Institute is a joint venture of Jack and Susan Warner and the museum, offering art classes in drawing, watercolor, pastel and oil painting. 

I am honored to be a part of this newly formed faculty featuring talented artists: Dan Rountree, watercolor; John Kelley, pastel; Caleb O'Connor, portrait; Ruth O'Connor, drawing. 

The classes will be small, so those interested should sign up as soon as possible! It is for all levels, and will be a fun and exciting adventure! If you thought you could not paint, I'll bet I can prove you can!
