Welcome
Hello, I am Candace Wells. There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around,
I am so glad you stopped in. I hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
A Little About Me
Life as an Artist
I work out of my home studio painting and teaching. I also travel locally to have larger group painting events. My work is available to see and buy through this website and at local art shows. When I have upcoming shows they are listed on the website. I will paint from my customer's photos, requests which are referred to as commissions.
How do I describe my style of painting.
Each artist tends to develop their own style. Some are influenced by teachers, famous painters they enjoy or what flows naturally for them. My personal style leans heavily towards Impressionism. I enjoy the colors and portrayal of light in my work.
Classes
Taking a class with others is so much fun. We all laugh and chat all the way through it. No experience is needed . I include all the supplies and have templates if you don't care to draw or people sometimes prefer to free hand. I keep the classes small so you can have a lot of 1 on 1 instruction. Students are always amazed how well they do even if they have never handled a brush before. Depending on your subject choice and experience level, students can complete a painting in one session. Iindividuals choosing more complicated subjects may find 2 sessions is more realistic. Many students choose to work some at home and some in studio under instruction.
My Medium
I love working in acrylics. I can express my love of colors that bring such joy. I find this medium is very forgiving, allowing me the freedom and confidence to paint knowing corrections are easy to accomplish. My students quickly master techniques with acrylics.
Becoming An Artist
I am not sure if I found painting or painting found me. Either way I am so grateful. I had a lot of experiences in life prior to my painting journey.I raised a family, traveled, farmed, ran a Bed and Breakfast and worked as a CNA. I took a painting class and fell in love! I paint almost daily so it is great that I finished other life tasks first!
