Experienced tutor in Painting in Del Mar, Karen offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I took an online class from Karen and it was a great experience. Teaching art remotely isn't an easy feat, but she made it fun! If you want a way to expand your art experience this is the way to do it! We made a seascape, and I loved how mine turned out! Far different than the UGLY pictures that a lot of the wine and paint type of classes teach, this is a picture you'd be proud to hang in your home!

My 13 year old daughter attended a painting class last weekend via Zoom. As a beginner painter, she knew she was in for a challenge. However, Karen made it a smooth experience by specifying the colors and supplies needed beforehand. She had multiple cameras set up that clearly focused on her canvas and palette as needed. Moreover, she was very patient in demonstrating how to blend the colors needed to paint water and waves. My daughter was very surprised at how well her painting turned out.

Overall, it was a very relaxing class for my daughter, especially since the subject (water and waves) was so calming. A fun activity, especially when you're trying to keep the kids entertained at home during a pandemic!

We have had a ton of visitors to our house recently, and everyone who comes to visit LOVES the painting Karen did. Everyone has complimented on the work. Thank you for the beautiful painting!

Karen has decades of study, knowledge & experience that she puts into her art practice. She’s a friendly and compassionate artist and teacher,

I have been taking art classes for 20+ years now, and Karen is the best art instructor I have worked with. She is knowledgeable and experienced, a charismatic and encouraging teacher, and she makes seemingly complex art theories and techniques easy to understand and do. Most of all, she makes painting fun! My classes with Art of Dang have flown by and I'm so happy I worked with Karen. I'm a more confident painter and creative person as a result.

I highly recommend Art of Dang for artists of any level!

Karen has a creative spirit that is unlike others. She is very friendly with an open mind to try different and unique mediums. I came to her to create a Soul Collage, which as an artist myself was unlike anything I have ever created. She prepared all the materials and was a warm host who spent her time ensuring I received the most from the experience. I would definitely spend my time working and learning from her again.
