Susan Kelley is a Georgia Artist who designs decorative painting projects for classes, books, pattern packets and magazines!  Susan adds personality to her whimsical snowmen and adorable characters by paying particular attention to their face and eye details.  She teaches techniques such as stippling for creating fluffy snowmen and bunnies, painting long flirty eyelashes, and adding whimsical elements to her designs. Susan teaches One Stroke and Tole Painting Workshops.

SDP Chapters are always welcome to request a portfolio or to consider packet and book designs :)  Susan also teaches local Classes and Workshops in Georgia (Atlanta Area), and she teaches live, online classes monthly.  Click a link above to find out more about Painting Classes and Weekend Workshops.

    Most of my classes and workshops are geared toward the intermediate painting level.  Painting experience of some sort is necessary in order to achieve similar results to the class projects.  General painting terms are used such as floating, stippling, basecoating, etc. and students should be familiar with these basic painting techniques and should be able to apply the initial steps with limited teacher-assistance.  All special techniques and skills required to complete each project will be thoroughly discussed and demonstrated.  Students are encouraged to come to the front so that they can see specific brush strokes and linework.

    My workshops are always in a casual, comfortable setting conducive to learning and enjoying a stress-free class.  You are encouraged to take breaks when needed, stretch your legs, or grab a snack whenever you like.  My goal is to provide you with an enjoyable, yet educational workshop and I hope to see you soon!
