TRAILSIDE ON 20 SEVEN

Private Guided Painting Instruction

from $130.00

One on One

You’ve painted a little — maybe taken a class — and now you’re ready to go deeper. You want more. This private session is designed for beginner-to-intermediate painters who want personalized guidance to refine their skills, build confidence, and push their creative boundaries.

Whether you’re struggling with color choices, brushwork, composition, or just want a second set of eyes on your process, this is your chance to paint with professional tools, in a calm and creative environment, with coaching tailored to your skill level.

You’ll choose your own image to work from (something meaningful to you), and we’ll focus on the art of seeing — value, shape, edges — and how to use oils to bring it to life.

🔹 What’s Included

  • 2 hour or 4 hour one-on-one session in my studio classroom.

  • All supplies and tools provided (feel free to bring your own brushes and paints if preferred)

  • Instruction personalized to your experience and goals

  • Studio tips and critique to help take your work to the next level

  • Flexible Schedule - together we will work out a date and time that works in your schedule.

🔹 Immediately after your purchase, you will receive an email requesting 3 dates/times that fit in your schedule so we can coordinate. I will also ask for your reference image that I will prepare for your session.
