"I feel more relaxed about what I do, and freer to try different things!”

Feedback sample FOR ARTISTS!

Therese's painting BEFORE

This is one of the paintings Therese submitted for an artist feedback session.

AFTER

Therese's painting BEFORE

If participants do not plan to submit their artwork into a juried show, and want the critique to be more like an in-class demonstration, then Lalita can provide more extensive, directly visual feedback, as seen here.

Testimonials

N. Robinson

“Thank you Lalita!! Your creative analogies and detailed, step-by-step instruction demystify the painting process so it’s not overwhelming!”

C. Evans

N. Robinson

"I enjoyed Lalita's workshop immensely. Lalita is not only an outstanding artist, she is one of those rare people with the ability to teach.”

M. Iherg

N. Robinson

M. Iherg

“In her critiques, Lalita provides honest and gentle suggestions for improvements at the same time she lets the painters know what really works in each painting. Over the past four years I have learned so much from her. What a lovely soul she is.”

L. Sykes

L. Mitchell

M. Iherg

"This course [Fearless Creating] is excellent. It has changed almost entirely how I look at myself, not only with respect to my art, but also how I manage my daily life. I feel far more free to be myself and to trust my abilities.”

L. Mitchell

“Amazing how the information you teach is relevant to all painting mediums & subjects. You have brought together info from other sources (teachers) and spoke about it in a different way to have it all just ‘click’”

C. Lantinga

L. Mitchell

“I love how the foundations of art are presented with care & clarity. I appreciate the quality of your presentation and content. Many, many possibilities, insights, and questions!

Thank you!”

Featured Art by Students - Master Copies

"Girl with a Pearl Earring"

Copy by atelier student Leslie G.

Leslie painted this the same size as Vermeer's original, 44cm x 39cm. What is most amazing about this copy, aside from the obvious likeness, is that, while Vermeer painted in in oils, Leslie used acrylics! Incredible blending.

See the original by Vermeer here

Boat with the Golden Sail by Singer-Sargent oil painting master copy in art class with Lalita Hamill

"Boat with the Golden Sail San Vigilio"

Oil on canvas 22" x 28"

John Singer-Sargent

Copy by atelier student Marius
