About Allen
In 2013 I began teaching at the Rushing Academy of Art, at that time located on Adams Ave in the Normal Heights area of San Diego. When the academy relocated in 2014 I converted the living room of my nearby house into a studio/classroom. The 5 students I had at that time made the move with me. In 2016 we moved to Otay Mesa (just on the southern boarder of Chula Vista) and in 2017 began taking students in the area.
In 2008-2009 I studied personally under the local San Diego master artist, Andrea Rushing (Rushing Academy of Art). I began doing art and photography in the 1960's. Over the years I have won various awards in local juried art exhibitions.

First I want to get to know a student's artistic passions and tastes. Next we discuss their goals and expectations. In the first class we will talk about the normal fears we all have when engaging any artistic self-expression--self doubt and misconceptions about what it means to be an artist. For the beginning student I will familiarize them with the tools and materials of oil painting: canvas, paints, brushes, pallet knives etc. From there we cover the basics of how to aproach a new work by doing a simple sketch and under-painting.
Most of my students have been women, although I have had one male student. Virtually all of my students to date have been beginners.
Look for an instructor who will take the time to evaluate your current skill level and who has the competance and communication skills to help you reach the next level. It is easy to find instructors who will stroke your ego and tell you your work is wonderful. They usually just want you to keep coming to them for as long as possible. Find someone who can really work on your basic skills and show you the techniwues that will work with your style of painting. A good teacher will be happy for you when you "gratduate" from their teaching and launch out on your own.
One recent event that was a great deal of fun was the pop-up gallery that the Chula Vista Art Guild and the South Bayfront Artists held at the Chula Vista Center. I exhibited in both events and sold 2 of my larger paintings. Being with the other artists was inspirational. The receptions put on by each group were joyful celebrations!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Get clear in your ming what your current goal is. What do you want to learn to DO? Are you wanting to paint for your own self-fulfillment or do you want to be able to show and sell your work some day? How would you evaluate your current skill level? What style of art really moves you?

Allen is a passionate inspiring and very indepth teacher. So many steps to becoming an adept oil painter. Allen is not allowing me to miss any of them. Very exciting to come with a clean pallet as a painter in a new.medium and know soon I will be able to do this independently because of my amazing teacher. I highly recommend him
I approached my first class as an intimidated beginner. Allen was patient and kind in teaching me important fundamentals and techniques and accommodated my eccentricities. He systematically took me step by step from getting supplies to blank canvas to beautiful creation. I'm several paintings in now. I learn more with each one as I continue to work with Allen.
I took Oil Painting with Allen for about 1.5 yrs. It was my first such class ever. He was knowledgeable and patient. If my schedule permits I'll take a refresher class with him.
I approached my first class as an intimidated beginner who never thought I could create a painting worth looking at. Allen patiently taught me important fundamentals and techniques. He took me step-by-step from selecting supplies to blank canvas to surprisingly beautiful creation. I'm several paintings in now. I learn more with each one and continue to work with Allen. My results have encouraged several friends to study with Allen.
Allen Randall taught me how to oil paint with kindness, patience, sincerely, and talent. I wouldn't be the artist I am today if it weren't for his expertise and instruction. I would give him 100 stars if I could!
