TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I am a classically trained artist who has benefited from a long lineage of teaching artists dating back to 19th century France and beyond. As part of this tradition, an important part of my artistic practice involves sharing the knowledge that's been passed down to me as well as the lessons I've learned from experience in my own studio.
I strive to create a professional, supportive, and non-judgmental environment in my classes to keep the focus on learning and allow students to calmly approach what can be the very difficult task of creating art.

I'm available to teach a regular art class or a one-time workshop. I am qualified to teach drawing, oil/acrylic painting, and watercolor classes. If you're interested in taking a class or need teaching faculty for your organization, please contact me at art@ericmarch.com.

"Get Some Light in Your Life"
Still Life Drawing Workshop at the National Art League
Saturday, May 22 from 10 am - 3:30 pm

Learn how light creates form as it flows over objects, reflects into shadows, and bounces back to the eye as a highlight. At this workshop you will gain a new sensitivity to how well-observed and accurately rendered light effects can weave a composition together and communicate the texture and qualities of different objects.
Students should bring their own drawing materials.
A still life set up will be provided. There will be a break for lunch.
All levels welcome.

Workshop fee is $45 - Enrollment is limited so sign up now!
Call 718-361-0628 or email me to register.

The National Art League is located at 44-21 Douglaston Parkway one half block north of Northern Blvd and two blocks south of the Douglaston stop on the Port Washington Line of the LIRR.

A 3-Week Spring Landscape Sketching Course

end of the workshop we will put all of the elements together into a
full composition of a spring landscape.
All levels welcome.
