Experienced tutor in Drawing in Crystal Lake, Kathleen offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Mrs. Beening taught me a lot about art. She is someone who has high expectations of students and you get out what you put into her class. She is a talented artist and teacher who will tirelessly dedicate herself to students until she feels as if they have become successful in completing a project. She cares about students and their work. Not being a great artist Mrs. Beening would always challenge me to be my best which is something I always appreciated.

Mrs Beening made the class a creative informal and non judgemental space for me to dive into my mystical curiosity zone, She balanced the techniques of painting (head) with the creative intuitive heart side. Highly recommend this class and teacher for those wanting to explore and expand their right brained ideas and thoughts.

Mrs. Beening is the best! Her art and style is phenomenal. She adapts to plenty of different art forms. I love the spiritual work she does, but I was her student for 10 years and she was always so great to work with. Extremely talented and connected with art on a level that I have never seen.

I took a series of lessons with Kathleen and am so glad I did! We worked with liquid watercolors. On top of learning some really cool and unique tricks (along with basics of course) I had so much fun!! I highly recommend Kathleen for a teacher!

I enjoyed her teaching style. I took her one watercolor class three times and hung my paintings on the wall. She is patient, kind and encourages her student to get out of their comfort zone and try different techniques.
