Drawing

I am an award winning artist who has been drawing professionally for the last 18 years. For 6 years I owned and operated a school focused on teaching drawing and painting. I held weekly classes and seasonal local and international workshops. Art classes for adults and children were offered on a regular basis. Currently I teach privately and conduct international art painting workshops I am classically trained artist and believe in teaching the underlying fundamentals of drawing. You have to learn the rules before you can break the rules is my philosophy, so working with me you will be taught everything you need to know to master the skill of drawing. I specialize in portrait drawing and painting which I enjoy doing on a commission basis. Portraiture requires the most precise drawing skills of all.

Painting

I am an award winning artist and painter. I have been painting professionally for over 20 years. My training was very classical and the fundamentals of drawing and painting were stressed. I now work from my home studio, but previously I owned and operated an art school with classes for both children and adults specializing in teaching the principles of drawing and painting. I work in pastel and oil mediums and am passionate about teaching others all I know. I believe in teaching the fundamentals of painting... you need to know the rules before you can break the rules...

Great Tutor

Ms. Vogel is very patient and teaches a unique perspective to help in understanding the techniques of realistic drawing. My son has learned a lot of good information in just 2 tutoring sessions.

Jack, 4 lessons with Carol

Highly recommend

I'm 15, have been doing art for years, and Carol has been teaching me for approximately three months online. In this time, I've progressed from being a passionate but untrained artist to someone who understands the main principles of accurate 3d drawing. I've learned how to measure for proportion so that I'm not just "eyeballing it", I've learned how to properly blend and highlight using kneaded erasers and blenders, and most of all, I've learned the principles of how light looks on different shapes so that I have a basic sense of how to draw realistically without relying on copying from the original image. These techniques, Among others, have helped transform me into a much better artist. I highly recommend her.

Very knowledgable and encouraging

Carol is teaching me how to draw freehand. On our first lesson I left understanding some technical knowledge about measurements, lines and proportions. The lesson provided not only technical knowledge but also practical experience. I'm looking forward to our next lesson!

Very Good Teacher

I had a lot of fun during the lesson! I drew some basic stuff and learned something about different lines. I drew some tropical birds and my homework is to make the background with a forest.
