Mastering Painting , Drawing and Composition | Online Art Lessons

From 147 C$ /h

Hi there!

I’m Anastasia. If you’re into fine arts, be it your hobby or future career, I’m here to help!

You may be one of the following:

- A fine arts student looking to get additional guidance
- A recent graduate looking to further hone their skills
- A working artist facing a new challenge or an unfamiliar style
- A self-taught artist looking for more academic training
- Or just a creative person wishing to turn their vision into reality.

I usually prefer the following format:

1. You send in your request
2. We connect to discuss it
3. We begin our lessons

Our lessons are 2 hours long.

If you’re a beginner and have no background in fine arts at all, we may have to cover some theory first.

If you’re interested, do let me know. Or if you have something different in mind – just ask, and I’ll do my best to meet your specific needs. I can promise you my full attention and a very competitive rate.

Nowadays I teach the most of lessons to adults and have successfully prepared students for different art schools and colleges.

The classes are very interactive. The main idea is not to lecture you or do the work for you, but rather help you tap into your creative self and arm you with the right tools to extract your unique ideas!

I try to combine in my teaching process teaching methods from brilliant masters I have met in my life in art colleges and Academy I study in (Pjankov, Dergunov, Bistrov, Denderina) and also from famous Old Teachers of Art (Soviet Art Masters: Crimov, Chistjakov, Kurkov, and European Art School Masters: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio ).

When I teach , I do put myself in my students’ shoes. Also I use MY own art experience as an active fine artist who has faced different topical issues, so that YOUR works can suit modern art contexts.

Extra information

My regular lessons typically run for two hours.

Looking forward to our creative journey together!

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Drawing is an essential practice for whomever wants to explore themselves through visualizing and recording the cognitive, perceptive, emotive, associative and intellective processes of the person.

In this class we do all of that, drawing in and out of ourselves. Conversation, feedback and critique based.
Possible to provide notions on different drawing materials, tools and surfaces as well as art historical and contemporary references. But most of the work is done in the process and through exchange.

The student will develop an open approach and critical position towards drawing and its deeper relation to the self and communication.

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of experience exhibiting, researching and developing my practice internationally. I offer individual art lessons and mentoring for students of different ages and levels, from beginners who want to learn how to draw or paint to more experienced artists who want to develop a stronger and more personal body of work.

Lessons are adapted to each student. We can work with observational drawing, painting, composition, materials and technique, but also with ideas, references, art history, sketchbooks and the development of your own visual language.

I also work with students preparing portfolios and applications for art schools, universities, residencies and other professional opportunities, as well as artists who feel stuck and want to rethink or strengthen their creative practice.

My aim is not simply to teach you how to reproduce an image, but to help you understand what you want to make, why you want to make it, and how to develop the skills and references necessary to make it your own.

Classes are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around your interests, experience and goals.

Hello,

Still a 5th year student in 2D animation film creation, I offer to teach you how to create your own universe through the creation of your character(s) as well as in the development of environments in which this/these same character(s) could be animated.

These courses are accessible regardless of your drawing level.

Want to bring your ideas to life, create a unique character or imagine a captivating environment? My drawing classes are tailored above all to your desires and objectives.

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, the course content is fully customizable according to your level and the areas you wish to explore in greater depth.

Do you want to focus primarily on character creation? We can explore their design together and develop your ideas.

Do you prefer to delve deeper into the creation of environments and universes? The course can be geared towards this in order to allow you to work specifically on what interests you.

And if you simply want to discover both aspects, I also offer a discovery course, combining character and environment creation to offer you a complete first approach to creating a universe.

Here, the course adapts to you, not the other way around. Together, we build a learning experience that truly matches your desires and progress.
