  • Learn To Paint with Claire Frances Smith

    Drawing from decades of experience as a professional artist, I focus on teaching the fundamental elements that create successful paintings:

    - Effective colour mixing and palette selection

    - Understanding light and shadow

    - Creating balanced compositions

    - Building texture and dimension

    - Developing your personal painting style

    My sessions involve a blend of demonstration & time to develop your individual skills based on the lesson.
