Teaching Style
Patrick Howe’s teaching style is a balance of structured lessons and individual freedom of expression. The beginners learn the foundational principles of realism and explores aspects of technique, color, value, composition and a full range of painting mediums. With that foundation in place, the more advance students are shown how to bring their own sensibility into their artwork, thereby making it unique and original. And for those students inclined toward abstraction, they are taught how to translate their foundational skills into abstract works.
Patrick offers demonstrations in his classes and provides technical information in the form of handouts or blog links sent to students. Sometimes he shows slide shows of other artist's work, or of aspects of art history that pertain to the lesson at hand. He also tailors the teaching to suit each students level and abilities. In his classes, all questions are welcomed and he encourages a nonjudgmental and supportive classroom environment.
