CHRISTOPHER FORNATARO
Oil Painter
WHY LEARN FROM CHRISTOPHER?
Unlike a lot of oil painters out there with online classes I know what it is like to try and learn to paint on your own. I have been drawing and painting since I could walk but when it came time for me to really learn how to paint with oils I was on my own. I learned the way you are right now. I watched endless video tutorials and crafted my own way to paint. I'm not just trying to force what is taught in art schools into videos online because learning online is completely different. It requires a very straight forward down to earth approach that is easy to understand. So if you would like to learn from someone who was in your shoes I'm here to be your paint coach.

If you're interested in commissioning a portrait painting or purchasing a landscape from the gallery, please use the form below and you will be contacted shortly.
Buying a one-of-a-kind piece of art can be scary. With every portrait, Chris will work with you through different styles, sizes, and source photos so you can guide the "vision" for the piece and achieve the desired impression within your budget. If you don't absolutely love the final product, Chris will revise it to your satisfaction or refund the cost entirely.
