Thinking about that blank canvas? Let’s do something about that together. In our comfortable studios with improved lighting topped with ambient light, you’ve got all the reason to jump-start your art and work alongside other painters like you.

I am by your side at your easel, helping you, facilitating the the working studio, and celebrating art-making. For me it’s like home. My promise is to give you constant, practical support as you paint what you love. I’ll be urging you to nail the fundamentals—whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or have a degree in fine art.

Inside this creative playground we tackle the big concepts that make paintings work, but we keep the mood light. You might experience the classes as a collaborative workshop. Have a specific problem? Just ask me for a demo; I’m happy to oblige.

For fourteen years I’ve seen such growth; I feel great pride in and for my students. Work in oils, acrylics, or watercolors. Yes, a watercolor contingent has sprouted! Go abstract or representational. The choice is yours. I often suggest starting with a favorite 8×10 photo, something clean, simple, elegant–and we’ll see where it takes us.

I’m here to share what I know and seek to know. I’ve made a living selling my art, from galleries and exhibitions here in the U.S to shows in Italy. I’ve loved being a sherpa to so many over the years right here in Rossmoor. Fun and success. We cap it all off with our own in-house show, displaying our work-in-progress and finished pieces, talking together about them, and enjoying a table laden with deliciousness.

Ready to join me?  If you’re new, I’ll get a materials list to you and offer some guidance on brands. To join me, just become an RAA member ($10) at rossmoorart.com and then register for Painting Momentum. Do this early. Call me at 925.783.9000 or email anna.silks@gmail.com with any questions. Let’s make some art.

Want to see my work? You can find my abstract and representational pieces at annageorgeartist.com and annageorgeonline.com (silk work). Always feel free to ask me about my work showing locally! There is a large piece (Tuscany) inside Creekside Grill above the fireplace.

Anna George, Instructor

Anna studied fine art in two east coast colleges and universities and has exhibited since. After founding a gallery in San Francisco, and garnering awards, she opened a big, bright studio on the Berkeley, Oakland border which housed a showroom of her multi-styled work. A decade later she moved a bit east where she has offered classes year-round for over eleven years at two venues. "I love witnessing our kinship as well as the growth and diversity of work emerging in the class," she says. "Each student moves in the direction they choose." In 2013 Anna launched and began hosting the RAA evening Soirées des Artistes which honors one artist in the community each event. Her current work involves oils and acrylics, canvas, linen, silk and mixed media. Call George at 925 783 9000. See annageorgeartist.com; for unrepeatable painted silkwear, annageorgeonline.com. In Anna's words, "In art there is heart."
