Painting Classes and Workshops

Oil Painting
Offered to art clubs and organizations this class covers the basics of oil painting in the context of learning the basic principles of art. It is my belief that it is by mastering basic principles that an artist becomes capable of creating quality art in any medium. Oil painting offers the widest range of color, value and texture of any painting medium. Oil paintings have a greater perceived value in the market, are easy to frame and are durable as works of art.

Multimedia Art Presentations

You Can See What I See
Geared towards elementary school students, this is a dynamic presentaion visually illustrating how an artist sees the world and then translates that vision into art that is unique and compelling.

Visual Art in the Church
A visual, sometimes humerous, expose of God's use of visual beauty to reveal Himself and how aesthetics should impact His church. Titled, The Significance of Visual Art in the Body of Christ and subtitled, Oh No! There's an Artist in the Church! This presentation was first presented to the student body of Moody Bible Institute.

My Adventures as an Artist
Still in development, this presentaion will follow Jim's artistic career from his earliest work custom painting vans to his latest western oil paintings. This will not only cover the work, but the real ups and downs, highlights and low lights of working as a professional creative.
