I start teaching painting in 2014 when I opened Joel Wright Art Gallery in Texarkana, Tx. I've taught all ages and I teach from the same traditional methods the old master's have used for centuries. What I've added to it is learning to paint more expressively and incorporating modern abstraction that everyone loves in current times. Finding the middle way with traditional realism techniques and abstraction or impressionism is the system I use from the very beginning of your journey.
