Hello,
I hope you are well.

If any of you would like to bring more art into your life, let me know. Relaxed, one to one drawing/painting sessions (depending on your level of experience) based on Right Brain Hemisphere techniques which enable everyone to simply relax and draw/paint.

I have teaching experience (courses, workshops, private lessons) from London, Belgium and Czech Republic. Also, can assist with preparation for GCSE in Art.
If you would like to know more, please get in touch.

I am very looking forward to hear from you.

I'm a Fine Art graduate from University of the Arts London (UAL) - I currently specialise in photography and videography. However I have taught a range of different art disciplines from painting, drawing, design, crafts and sculpture. On a regular basis I teach children from ages 4-11 but I have experience teaching teenagers and adults as well.

During lessons we can focus on a particular discipline such as painting or drawing, work on a project that someone has already started in their own time or I can assist with portfolios or sketchbooks for GCSE/AS/A Levels/Foundation/Degree. These classes are for everyone, ranging from fun creative art play for younger years to older years wanting to learn a new skill or develop a hobby.

Having the ability to be creative and explore art is so beneficial for both children and adults and I aim to make my lessons as supportive, fun, engaging and positive as possible.

This textile design class is for anyone wanting to enter the creative field of textile design. It is for students who wish to gain a place on a textile course, current textile students, textile graduates, designers and creatives who want to learn how to create commercial allover print textile designs or for those transitioning from university to industry. For anyone wanting to find out how to start out as a freelance textile designer and crucially how to get selling.

You will learn how to create a commercial design, which colours to use, how to create a commercial portfolio and how to present it, what makes a successful layout, where to find inspiration, which target market are you designs best suited to, which software to use and how to use it

In short, a tailored textile masterclass

Considering your skill level and objectives, I'll customize a personalized class just for you, and together, we'll work towards achieving your artistic goals.

Whether you're a beginner eager to learn how to express yourself through the medium of painting, or more advanced aiming to refine techniques and build a standout portfolio for art school, I'm here to guide you.

Expect valuable tips, relevant references, and occasional insights into art theory that align with your practice and style. I'll encourage you to experiment, be inventive, and gain confidence in making creative decisions, trusting your unique artistic voice.

I teach classes in GCSE and A-level Fine-Art and Textiles prep for upping your grade potential and cultivating your unique creativity through multi-disciplinary art and textiles mediums. I also offer art & play classes for preschool children.

I am an RCA MA Painting graduate, and I have a BA(Hons) degree in Fine Art from Westminster University, and a Foundation diploma in Art & Design from the University for the Creative Arts. I am a practicing artist based in London, specializing in painting, and I have been showing my work nationally and internationally. My recent solo show was at Class Reiss London, and I also had a solo presentation at Art Athina. My fascination with tutoring derives from my sensitivity around learning disabilities, something which is a recurring theme in my practice as I grew up as a dyslexic learner, as well as my educational experience of being part of leading academic UK institutions.

Through my work as an art tutor I strive to inspire and support my students, offering insight to my experience as a RCA alumnus and to the professional life of an artist. I teach students of all ages, as I strongly believe that involvement with the arts is always eye opening and revealing, especially when this leads to a career in the arts through higher education.

I can offer art lessons for younger children, involving introduction to creative techniques and idea development, mentoring and support with portfolio preparation to apply for art schools internationally as well as tutoring on contextualizing your work through constructive and generative feedback.

Welcome to "A Realistic Sketching Course You Can Start with Just One Pencil"! This course is designed for artists of all levels who are eager to develop their realistic drawing skills using minimal supplies. With just a single pencil, you'll learn essential techniques to create detailed and lifelike sketches. Our lessons cover fundamental principles such as shading, perspective, and texture, enabling you to transform simple lines into stunning, realistic artwork. Join us and discover the incredible potential of your creativity, starting with the basics and building towards mastery.

I aim to teach with passion and enthusiasm, my lessons are enjoyable, easy to welcome into students’ daily lives. With focus on mindfulness and relaxation as well as the concentration of the mind, students will feel much lighter in essence after completing an immersive yoga session.

Observational drawing from life - architectural and townscape, natural and landscape subjects.

I'm Also happy to work from the comfort of a space identified by yourself - a home or studio - anywhere you would like to work (including my own home, if you prefer)

Painting - also able to offer 'from life' lessons, but it is probably more appropriate to work inside, for this.

Learn rigorous technique first, and THEN break the rules.

As a classically trained artist in drawing and painting, I offer private tutoring that emphasizes mastering the fundamentals to develop accomplished, technically skilled artists who can confidently express their creativity. My approach is structured, rigorous, and designed to push students to achieve their best. While some may find my method strict, I believe in teaching the rules thoroughly so that you can confidently break them later.

What I Offer:
Foundational Skills: Strengthen your abilities in line work, value, proportion, perspective, and texture to build a robust technical base.
Composition & Framing: Understand how to structure engaging artwork through thoughtful layout, balance, and spatial design.
Rigorous Critique: Receive honest, constructive feedback to identify areas for growth and refine your individual hand.
Unique Assignments with Clear Goals: Each project is tailored to address specific skills or concepts: contrast, scale, accuracy, perspective, and still life vs narrative-driven styles are just a few examples.

Diverse Areas of Focus: Explore various disciplines, including:
2D design
Still-life
Architectural drawing
Human anatomy and figure drawing
Portrait drawing
Illustration
Media and Techniques:
I guide students in mastering traditional drawing media, including graphite, charcoal, conte, pen and ink, and technical pens. Additionally, if the student progresses, I will offer opportunities to explore printmaking techniques such as silverpoint, etching, and linocut to expand their artistic repertoire.

My Approach and Expectations:
I teach with the belief that discipline and dedication are essential for artistic growth. My sessions combine hands-on demonstrations, guided practice, and critical discussions to ensure students gain a comprehensive understanding of both technical and conceptual aspects of drawing. While I set high expectations, I also offer the support and tools needed for students to rise to the challenge.
After most sessions, I assign homework to be completed by the next class. I certainly expect my younger students especially to complete these assignments. While my lessons are technical and follow strict parameters, there is plenty of opportunity for students to choose their own subjects and designs.
I also highly recommend my student take excellent notes during my demonstrations and instruction time. I will always share my own notes and sketch journals so the student has a goal in mind. After a section of tuition has been completed (equal to a half term) I examine the notes and give feedback.

Who Can Benefit:
Beginners aiming to establish strong technical foundations
Intermediate students refining their composition and conceptual skills
Advanced artists seeking rigorous critique and structured challenges
Portfolio builders preparing for art schools or professional opportunities
With a focus on both mastery and creativity, I help students develop the skills and confidence to create meaningful, rule-breaking artwork.

With this course, you'll learn to draw and paint the human body, from the face to the limbs. You'll also learn to work with different materials such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, and graphite, and how to work with different types of materials.
