Margi Hansche

May 2, 2015 by Julie Gilbert Pollard

Dear Julie,

“It’s raining it’s pouring
But we will paint in the morning.
The paper is wet, we’ll be loose, loose, loose,
I hope we don’t get attacked by that goose.

And when we are done,
Then we will get sun.
So my advice is
If you want to paint out,
Go in a drought.”

Despite the harsh weather (APAP Plein Air Workshop, April 24-25th) you had arranged for a warm conference room (Forest Villas Hotel, Prescott) and continued the lesson. We didn’t miss a step.

Thank you for your time and teaching. I learned a lot and I truly enjoyed my time. I have already started on an in-studio painting of the lake.

Take care,  Margi Hansche

My Teaching Philosophy

My goal is to individualize instruction as much as possible. I introduce the basics to the beginning student and work with the more advanced student in gaining a more solid knowledge of those same basic techniques, along with the all-important principles and elements of design. I always try to present material in a logical, practical manner, along with a large dose of encouragement with emphasis on motivation and personal taste. In class, beginning painters will work in a structured manner and ALL levels are encouraged to experiment and practice as much as possible in order to build confidence and experience with methods and materials. Workshops generally focus on a method or subject, while weekly classes may offer basic technique or independent projects with guidance as needed and “class projects” as requested. Whatever the venue, my over-riding objective is to support and assist each person in his or her search for individual artistic personality.
