Meet Your Instructor

Your instructor is a friendly, experienced artist who believes anyone can learn to paint with a little guidance and plenty of encouragement. With years of practice and learning under his belt, Anthony breaks down techniques into simple steps, share helpful tips, and cheer you on every splash of color along the way.

“I am not a master artist by any means, but I have experience in drawing and painting in multiple mediums and have learned the most by the mistakes I have made and new mistakes I make along the way. I continue to learn from other artists, and I hope other artists are able to learn from me. There is no such thing as bad art. There is only lack of knowledge, technique, and experience. The more you learn, the more you apply technique. The better your technique, the more freedom you obtain to create. Get outside the comfort zone and try something new!” - Anthony Farnam
