Course Curriculum
Bonjour! I’m Monique!
I'm looking forward to reveal you the secret of colors. After this class, you will have a better understanding of the colors and which will result of making wise color selections to achieve more unity for your paintings.
I've been a professional painter since 2008, and I've taught hundreds of students to paint with confidence, with more freedom while increasing their knowledge of painting technique. The reason I teach is to help artists improve their painting skills and find their voice. I love to teach and I hope you will join me for your next art adventure!

Catherine Cromwell
I knew I wanted to investigate painting techniques that Monique uses, but I had no idea how much they would influence my style of painting. I feel like I experienced a watershed moment!!!! Looking forward to keeping plugged into Monique's inspirational works.
Carol Dixon
I discovered Monique Carr while I was at an art gallery in Banner Elk! Her work is so dynamic, fresh and alive I wanted to learn how to paint with all the beautiful layered techniques that she uses! I was thrilled to join her Autumn colors workshop! And because I am a retired art teacher, I was really happy that the other students were all accomplished artists!
She is enthusiastic and innovative in her teaching style! She does great demonstrations and helps everyone individually! I learned a great deal in two days and hope that I can incorporate some of what I learned to be looser and more 21st century with my own work! Thank you Monique for sharing your fabulous style!

The art community and those who love fine art are recognizing Monique Carr more and more for her bold and vibrant paintings. Her fame is on the rise and yet, she continues to share her skills and talents with those who aspire to be artists. In her own words...she enjoys it all...contemporary, abstract, impressionist, and plein air. I have taken several different classes with her, both contemporary and impressionistic. In each, she had students of all levels of experience and she worked diligently to meet each at their own level. Her innovative teaching techniques make for a delightful day of class and have inspired me to pour myself into my art anew.
