I am an artist and an art teacher.  I have been priviledged to teach students from elementary through adults.  This page will post some of the technical notes/tutorials/and advice...etc. I use in teaching.  So I hope this page will be a resource to those wanting to practice techniques, use it as a reference, have fun, or use it to teach.
