ADULT PAINTINGS - BASIC ACRYLIC CLASS, ADVANCED STUDENTS

These paintings are by students who have been coming to my basic class long enough that I don't think of them as beginners anymore! I think as you look at the work, you'll agree. (Casa de Linda Art Studio, New Braufels, Texas)

INTRODUCTION

Greetings! My name is Linda Calvert Jacobson. I'm artist and art teacher living and working in the glorious Texas Hill Country. As an artist, I'm known for my bold, bright, happy Wildflower paintings that are collected as original works of art and licensed for products sold internationally. The goal of my art is to make people happy...to brighten their lives with my art. My goal as an art instructor is to help my students find their creative spirit and to help them cultivate their creativity. I work with ages 5 through adult, teaching a variety of media and techniques from my Casa de Linda Art Studio in downtown New Braunfels, Texas. The purpose of this blog is to create a virtual gallery for my students' artwork.
