About Charlotte Austin. . .
a Liliedahl-Certified Oil Painting Instructor
Charlotte
embarked on oil painting simply as a hobby. After taking an early
retirement from the work force, she now had time to devote to her
long time dream of possibly becoming an artist. Being introduced
to the world of classical oil painting by her instructor and friend,
Pat Bourque, it was quite evident early on that this definately
was her calling. Great strides were taken to further her knowledge
in this field. She attended workshops with master artists such as
Greg Kruetz, Sherrie McGraw and Robert Johnson, to name a few. But,
The Liliedahl School of Fine Art and Johnnie Liliedahl's instruction
was proven to be exactly what was needed in her pursuit.
Having acquired so much knowledge and education in the art of oil
painting, the time had come to become an instructor herself. She
began teaching in Lafayette, Louisiana. Within a short time, she
was then compelled to become one of Johnnie Liliedahl's certified
art instructors. Her completed studies include Color Theory, Design
& Composition, Still-Life (Level 1), Landscape (Level 1), Portraits
from the Live Model, Parts 1 & 2, Old Master Painting Methods-Flemish/Naturalist
and Oild Master Painting Methods-Venetian/Grisaille. Having completed
the necessary workshops and student teaching in the Liliedahl studio,
she graduated and was then awarded her certification as being a
Liliedahl Fine Art Instructor.
Charlotte still teaches in Lafayette, Louisiana, where she is a
member of Lafayette Art Association. She instructs her students
in the same traditional painting principals and methods, and accepts
students at all levels.
