Alla Prima Oil painting lessons for beginner/inter

From 69.47 C$ /h

For two decades, painting has been my steadfast anchor, guiding me through life's ups and downs, and in many ways - saved me in this life.
I feel that the act of painting is a form of meditation - and in my hardest days - Painting has become a tranquil oasis of calm.

In the past 10 years specifically, I've immersed myself in daily painting with oils, and mastering the Alla prima technique (wet on wet technic = one painting in one sitting), however, I have also dabbled in layering and glazing for a while.

I firmly believe that with the right time, space, and personalized instruction, anyone can paint. Whilst oil painting has being rumoured to be very messy (And it can be extremely messy) I have built a clean painting structure, as I am also living with a cleaning freak (the love of my life), a 3 year old child and a boxer dog.

That's why I offer 1-1 tutoring sessions at my place, in a patient, friendly, and instructive environment filled with good vibes and good music (probably the most important ingredient!).

why draw, how to draw?

- in a world where everyone can take photos with their cell phone, why still draw?

- Is drawing an attempt to capture reality or is it a tool to comment on it?

The lessons are an invitation for beginners and advanced learners to try out various practical techniques and discuss the results.

When it comes to drawing, one of the biggest obstacles is letting go of self-criticism and just starting and working. We will deal precisely with this difficulty. We will learn through extraordinary exercises how to simply train the hands and at the same time suspend the critical mind.

Later, we will focus on observing the drawings and try to understand the mystery of what works and what doesn't.

Lessons are offered for both beginners and advanced learners. Let me know what you would like to improve about your work. what do you find interesting?
all ages are welcome!

My name is Oded, I am originally from Israel. After 6 years of studying, I completed my studies at the UdK in 2019. In recent years I have participated in several exhibitions and residency programs.
My main artworks are films, watercolor paintings and comics.
Teaching is a very important task for me.

Everyone can draw great pictures! I have been studying painting for ten years, from impressionism to Chinese traditional painting, to abstract art. I will help you to paint whatever you are interested in and want to make.
I am a professional artist and an art educator. I can teach you oil painting, acrylic painting, pencil/marker drawing, ink painting, calligraphy, etc, whatever you would like to learn. My class is very encouraging and inspiring because I believe everyone has the potential to be a good artist and I only provide another way of thinking.
Moreover, I have so much experience teaching kids and teenagers, they turned out to love drawing and feel confident about making art. No need to mention I can relate to adults whose eager and the challenges of learning new things. Don't worry, once you ride it, you get it! ;)

If you enjoy bright colors and want to learn to paint abstractly with liquid watercolor paint, this workshop is for you.
At the beginning of the painting session we will become familiar with the wet-on-wet technique. We will learn to let the chance of the colors running into each other guide us. In this workshop you will learn to find the balance between chance and gentle brush control. After a short drying time, the fine lines are then applied with fine brushes.
Watercolor painting as a meditation technique:
Simply starting and working with your hands is a self-healing process, something I rediscovered especially during the Corona crisis. Watercolor painting is relaxing and has a meditative effect, it slows you down and when you wake up from the trance you have created a finished watercolor.
What you get:
• All necessary materials such as watercolor paper, paints and brushes • Individual support and templates for inspiration
• Everything that is created in the workshop
• Hopefully a new passion
What else you should know:
• If you have your own liquid watercolors and paper or brushes, please bring them with you • The workshop can be held in English or German

This watercolor botanicals class focuses on observing and painting plants with precision and expression. Students learn foundational watercolor techniques including wet on wet, layering, and controlled brushwork to capture delicate textures and natural color variation. The course covers composition planning, color mixing, and understanding light to create depth and realism in leaves, flowers, and stems. Through guided studies and finished pieces, participants build confidence in translating natural forms into refined, vibrant watercolor paintings.

Watercolor is a fascinating technique, but it can be demanding and often feels unpredictable. In these in-studio classes, we will approach watercolor as a relationship between water, pigment, and paper. You will learn to predict and control the medium—and, once you've mastered that, to use it more spontaneously.

I teach a solid, step-by-step method to build a watercolor painting from the ground up. We will explore a range of techniques (working on dry paper, on wet paper, glazing (velatura), creating textures, etc.) as well as brushstroke fundamentals. Along the way, I'll share practical suggestions and tips I've gathered from my own teachers and years of practice.

The class focuses on the technical aspects of watercolor: controlling the medium and consciously achieving the desired figuration. It is through this deep, hands-on knowledge that a more expressive dimension of the practice can naturally emerge.

We will cover key topics such as values, temperature (warm-cold contrast), and color theory.

This class is open to both beginners and advanced painters who wish to refine their technique. A basic foundation in drawing is highly recommended for the initial sketch. Each lesson includes all necessary supply materials.

I offer private, personalized art sessions for children and teenagers in Berlin, designed to nurture creativity, confidence, and emotional expression in a calm and supportive environment.

With a Master of Arts in Textile Design and experience teaching creative workshops at private schools, I bring both artistic expertise and a sensitive, intuitive approach to working with young people.

My work is centered around creating a calm, secure and attentive environment where children and teenagers can express themselves freely and confidently. I combine artistic knowledge with an approach that respects each child’s individuality and emotional rhythm.

I provide a safe and inspiring space for drawing, painting, storytelling, and open-ended creative exploration. Alongside artistic development, the focus is on strengthening focus, patience, emotional awareness, and self-trust through the creative process.

Each session is tailored with care to the personality, interests, and developmental needs of the child or teenager. Trust is always the foundation of my work, as creativity unfolds naturally when a young person feels safe, understood, and at ease.

Sessions take place in the family’s home, allowing the child to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment.

✨ I work with a limited number of families to ensure a consistent, attentive, and highly individualized approach.

Open to travel upon request.
