I recently had the pleasure of meeting Sored Hall by instagram.  I was inspired by her virtual teaching methods and engaging personality.  Her warmth, approachability and willingness to share are exactly what creates a great art teacher.  Her work is

One of her primary focuses is urban sketches and I asked her why, “It is a very good way to get to know a place and the best way to practice new painting techniques. Buildings mixed with nature are my jam. I am also a faith based artist, this is how I started my calligraphy journey, writing about my faith using beautiful strokes has helped me be more connected with my beliefs and I love to share this with the world.” Sored is multi-talented and paints a great number of beautiful subjects found around the world and in nature.I asked Sored about her teaching, “Teaching what I know is something that came along with my learning process. It wasn’t easy for me to find the right art supplies or how to begin to paint so I like to show others how to get to that point faster and give them the techniques and instrument for them to start creating their own art.”
