I love to design and particularly enjoy painting florals in a Zhostovo 'like' fashion, but without a doubt, my greatest joy and I believe my worth, comes from teaching. I am a 'skills' teacher. The subject can change but my teaching remains focused on technique. I have analyzed brush strokes from the loading of the brush....to the movement of the hands/shoulders...to the angle of the chisel...and so on, and love to show students how beautiful, rhythmic strokes can be accomplished...and how combined they can lead to masterful creations.  If you have painting related questions be sure to visit the "Ask Heather" page.  I hope you enjoy your visit to my site and please do let me know if I can help you in anyway.
