Ned Mueller Studio - Online - Renton, Washington
I’m delighted to continue my weekly classes, every Wednesday morning from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Classes are ongoing and students can join at anytime if the class is not filled up. Limited to 12 students.
Contact: Ned Mueller: nedmueller06@comcast.net
Class has been traditionally live, but with all the Covid situations I have gone to Online classes for the near future. Students may work on anything they want … most students end up working from photos and I encourage students to use their own, but I do have a great collection from around the world that may be available. One can learn a lot from photos and I talk and demo a lot about the Principles and Elements of Design .. which when used properly creates a more quality and interesting painting!
I usually do a demo every other session and critiques are ongoing. I encourage to use the process that I often use … that is doing value and/or color studies to develop their designs. Students can also do portraits. I encourage everyone to develop their own voice . I try and bring humor into the process as much as we can and so we have a comfortable and support group of Artists giving each other support and encouragement.
Class is limited to 12 students.
Hope you can join us !

Testimonials :
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.

Subject: Recommendation for Master Artist and Teacher Ned Mueller – by Valerie Collymore
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
“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”. Richard Smith
You told us to look at the world abstractly, and I have been doing that ever since. You also stressed value studies with examples. No one ever said that to me before. It all made such sense.
You are my all-time favorite instructor. I am grateful for your knowledge that you share so graciously, and your kind patience with your students. You impart a fertile ground for creativity to flourish in the art world.
If this year has taught me anything, I have learned to say thank you to those that have enriched my life in ways they never could have imagined. Now visualize your hundreds of students over the past years, what a contribution to so many. You are one in a million. Your work, and your talent is priceless. Thank you.
