Charles Miano views teaching as an art, a privilege and an opportunity to inspire ideas and passion. For years he has cultivated a creative environment that has helped many achieve inspiring results in their personal artistic journey. He views workshops as a chance to share wisdom, knowledge and insights into the mysterious and often misunderstood craft of painting. He is very generous in explaining and demonstrating the techniques he as accrued over years of studio practice, research and study. He believes in helping others achieve their goals, no matter what level of experience. His students come away encouraged, with great inspiration and a deeper understanding of the fine art of seeing, eagerly anticipating the next opportunity to practice their newfound skills.
“Mr. Charles Miano’s teachings are beautifully balanced in every sense of the word. During his lessons East meets West, the intellectual counterparts the emotional, and the effort and hard work that he demands of his students is also presented with the need to let things develop naturally. It is a refreshing and daring methodology that challenges most, if not all, art schools’ curriculums by providing real, honest and unselfish instruction to students with serious intentions in art.”
