Hi Everyone..I hope this finds you well. I have a few upcoming workshops and classes coming up. First off I have a few openings in my Ongoing Online Wednesday morning class. It goes every Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and is structured for the individual student to work on their particular needs and at their own pace. Cost is still only $360 for eight- 3 hour sessions. I also have other workshops listed on my website.
I have been working on some new Value studies that I am really excited about and looking forward to working up to larger full color paintings. These value studies are a real important part of my creative process and done to work out ideas by applying the principles and elements of Design. I feel that these are works of Art in themselves and I am working on a future online show of them. These images above are a few of my favorites..would love to hear some feedback. We use this process in my classes and workshops and it really is great to see the progress and quality of the students work. Here are a few testimonials from some of the students:
Ned Mueller- "The Art of Seeing"
"Move your mountains, raise your trees, have busy areas and open spaces, move rocks to lead the eye, compare colours…" These are some of Ned's helpful instructions. In his course,"The Art of Seeing", Ned teaches us to interpret or "see" a subject with an artist's eye based on solid principles of art and design in order to create our own interesting and unique paintings.
Ned teaches with humour and wisdom gained from many years of art experience. He welcomes all questions. His critiques are always insightful. Ned has an empathy for all artists who want to express their own way of seeing the world. I am so grateful for this course which has provided a great foundation for my future studies. Thanks Ned."

"After studying 1 1/2 years with another professional artist, I luckily, somehow? came to your studio and could not believe how different the atmosphere was and how enjoyed and encouraged I was personally and artistically. You did more for me than you know. A student doesn't even realize at the time what they are learning because you are so funny and your class is always entertaining. And yet, when all is said and done, students leave changed and inspired to really delve into the fundamentals of art and like Valerie said, "given the confidence to enter the professional arena".

"I am writing in support of Master Artist and Teacher Ned Mueller.
During my nearly two years of weekly classes at the Ned Mueller
Studios, I not only learned the fundamentals of painting and good
design, but most importantly, was encouraged and nurtured and given
the confidence to enter the professional arena of the full time
artist. It is the rare instructor that can share such a significant
amount of knowledge while allowing all in the class to have a great
time, in an equitable and highly entertaining environment. It is the
rare artist who, despite a long and decorated career and a masterful
style recognized internationally, can allow the novice the latitude to
experiment and attempt to develop her own voice.
I heartily endorse and recommend Mr. Ned Mueller as an instructor. I
can't imagine a more qualified, kind and entertaining master teacher."
Respectfully,
Valerie L. Collymore MD
"I studied oil painting with Ned for several years. Ned is the best plein
air painter active today. He is a master at landscape, either plein air
or studio. He paints any subject with real authority, and is
particularly good at teaching portrait painting. Ned is well known as a
kind and supportive instructor. An opportunity to study with him is not
to be missed"
