KIDS PAINTING CLASSES - HUMBLE, TX
Kids Basics Painting - Seeing in Color
A fun and focused 6-week painting class designed to help kids slow down, observe closely, and explore color with confidence.
Inspired by exercises from Color: A Course in Mastering the Art of Mixing Colors (adapted for young artists), this class helps children move beyond “guessing” colors and begin to really see them.
No experience needed.
Just curiosity and a willingness to play.
Investment: $295 (all materials included).
We’ll explore how colors mix, how light changes what we see, and how to trust our eyes - all in a relaxed, encouraging environment.
-
How to really look at color instead of guessing
-
Basic color mixing (and how to create the “right” color)
-
How light and shadow affect what we see
-
How to simplify what they’re looking at into shapes and color areas
-
Confidence in making decisions without overthinking
-
Focus, patience, and creative problem-solving
Who This Is For
For kids who:
-
love art and want to learn more
-
say “I’m not good at art” but are curious anyway
-
are creative and need a calm space to focus
-
enjoy hands-on learning and experimenting
-

What They'll Learn
This class is less about “making pretty paintings” and more about learning how to truly see.
It’s about:
-
learning how to see shapes, light, and space clearly
-
stepping out of overthinking and into direct experience
-
building trust in your own hand and perception
-
finding a quiet, focused state that feels almost meditative
Kids may be surprised by what they create when they stop trying and start seeing.
What's Included
Everything they need will be waiting in the studio:
-
All painting supplies (paints, brushes, paper/canvas, palettes)
-
Guided exercises and gentle instruction
-
A calm, creative studio environment
-
Small group attention and encouragement
They’ll leave each class with finished exercises and strengthened painting skills.
About the Artist
I’m a working artist based in Texas, creating layered, expressive paintings inspired by nature, color, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Drawing and a Master’s degree in Painting, and for nearly 10 years I’ve shared my work through galleries and juried art festivals, with collectors acquiring my work across the country. For over 20 years I've created decorative finishes and large-scale projects in homes and businesses giving me a deep understanding of materials, color, and surface.
Teaching has grown naturally from my own practice. I’m drawn to helping others slow down, see more clearly, and reconnect with their creative voice - whether they’re just beginning or returning to art after time away.
My classes are not about perfection - they’re about learning to see, trust yourself, and enjoy the process of creating something with your own hands.
What To Bring
-
Clothes that can get paint on them (the mess is part of the magic)
-
A water bottle
-
Optional snack
Between Sessions
At the end of each class, I’ll offer a simple creative prompt and homework assignments to carry with them into the week - something to keep their eyes open, their hands moving, and their ideas flowing.
