Painting Portraits by Susan Van Zyl

I am an Art teacher and entrepreneur.
My day is consumed by art even if it is just creating art, teaching, researching and learning.
I have a few strong points but do believe that you can never know too much and that you can always learn to better yourself.

I try to challenge myself to do something for myself each and every year. …

I can not describe the joy I feel when I am painting on a canvas with oil paints. The art is pouring out of me. All the years without creating seems to be coming out all at once.

I did attend art school for one year many, many years ago. Otherwise I am a self taught artist.
I want to improve upon my lighting and color mixing. …
