About ARTroads Academy

We’re about ART - yours and ours. We encourage art, guide and facilitate making art, making better art, and making your experience with art better.

We start wherever we are; beginners, dabblers, hobbyists, emerging and professional artists. We educate and explore. We encourage and support. We introduce avenues and the transport along whatever path your art ambitions choose to travel.

ARTroads Academy offers resources, instruction, guidance and inspiration:

  • Classes: in person, in our San Francisco classroom and at San Francisco Bay area venues; museums, parks, private clubs, restaurants, seashores and local vistas

  • Classes: online, coming up: “Fundamentals of Watercolor” and “Portrait Painting”

  • Workshops: focused, off-site programs in San Francisco, the Yucatan and Tuscany

  • Reference Library: materials, technique, and art history

  • ARTroads Blog: motivation, technique and inspiration

  • Critique: objective, constructive, and personal observations

  • Custom Art: people, places and prized possessions, let’s paint what’s important!

  • Our Art Store: your opportunity to own our artwork

Follow your path…a class, a trip, a much-deserved practice or simply a scribble on the side of an envelope, seeing something anew.
