Art lessons, sketching, drawing, watercolor painting, acrylic painting, oil painting, clay modeling, pastel

From 58 C$ /h

In my classes, I teach drawing, sketching, watercolor, acrylic painting, and fundamental art techniques step by step. My main focus is building a strong artistic foundation — understanding form, perspective, light and shadow, composition, and color theory in a clear and simple way.

I believe that good art starts with strong basics. That’s why I give my students solid technical knowledge while keeping lessons enjoyable, relaxed, and motivating. I break complex concepts into easy, practical exercises so you can see real progress from the first lessons.

I have 7 years of academic art school training and a 5-year Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, which gives me a strong background in perspective, structure, and visual thinking.

I work with both kids and adults and create personalized lesson plans for each student depending on their goals — whether it’s learning fundamentals, improving technique, preparing a portfolio, or simply enjoying art as a hobby.

My goal is not only to teach technique, but to build confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for drawing.

About Me

Hi! My name is Aliya. I’m an active, easy-going, and positive person, and art has always been my life — not just a hobby. I’ve been drawing and painting since I was three years old.

In my teaching, I focus on professional fundamentals. I help students understand proportion, dimension, structure, and visual thinking so they can create independently — not just copy references. My goal is to give you the tools to truly understand what you are drawing.

I teach step by step in a clear and enjoyable way. I believe learning art should feel inspiring, not stressful. At the same time, I maintain strong structure and discipline in the basics.

I build personal connections with my students and adjust the program individually for each person. Many of my students stay with me for over a year because they see real progress and feel supported throughout their journey.

My mission is to help you grow technically, creatively, and confidently.

The Visible World is a structured course in drawing, painting and visual perception.

Through practical studio exercises and the study of great works of art, you will develop a deeper understanding of form, proportion, light, colour, composition, visual weight and space.
The course progresses from fundamental observation to more complex artistic decisions, helping you develop both technical skill and visual judgement.
Rather than simply learning how to copy what you see, you will learn how to see, understand and transform the visible world into an image.

No previous experience is required. Come curious — leave seeing differently.

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.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Good morning! I am a 3D animator!
Graduated with a master's degree as a 3D Designer and Special Effects Director, I am delighted to support you in your learning of drawing or painting, whether you have a beginner level or are preparing an application to enter an animation school 3D.
I have always drawn and started using Photoshop before I was 10. I have improved over the years, first self-taught, then by taking classes and finally in my animation school.
When it comes to art, you never stop learning, which is why I am convinced that even if I teach classes, I can learn things from my students!
My courses depend on the level of the person and their expectations. I can give exercises to do regularly or not, it's à la carte. The drawing subjects are chosen by the students, I am not here to impose a particular drawing style, each student comes with their desires and their inspirations and we develop around this base. Don't worry if you don't have any ideas, I have plenty!

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 :)

behind physics there's math and behind math there's the logic, so you'll need to see things differently.
in these courses we offer the opportunity to learn this skill, so at the end we'll all together share the same love, the love of science.
as for art, it's what makes us cross that line of logic and go even farther with our thoughts, so you're welcome to think with us and share this love.

If you think drawing is difficult or you've been trying for a while and aren't improving, the problem isn't your talent: Nobody has taught you how to make it easy, fun, and less frustrating.

In my classes I welcome students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. I also teach in English.

I use a method based on the student's goals and needs. It doesn't matter if it's just a hobby or if you want something more professional. The structure adapts perfectly to what you're looking for and can change throughout the course.

My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to have fun while you improve. We'll learn using your favorite series, comics, and webtoons. No boring exercises, just drawing. We'll analyze the work of the artists you admire, and you'll learn the tricks that real professionals use.

You will learn: Manga/Anime, Comics, Narrative, Illustration, Drawing, Digital and Traditional Art, Character and Environment Design, Anatomy, Landscapes.

Shall we learn together?

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.

I offer drawing lessons to teach you different techniques and tools. It's about understanding how colors combine and blend, and how to create an interesting composition.
I also support you in your artistic projects by giving you advice to help you succeed.
I mainly work with watercolors, colored pencils, black markers, but also pastels or tools that we all have: the ballpoint pen.
I also do a lot of collage and graphic compositions
I am a student passionate about art who loves to share her passion and has been drawing for several years.

I've been teaching painting and drawing for five years, both in private lessons and groups. I'm also a self-taught artist, so I know how exciting (and sometimes frustrating!) learning art can be. I've made plenty of mistakes myself, and I know what it's like to be a student. That's why I don't believe in one method for everyone. I like to get to know my students, listen to what they want to achieve, and make each lesson feel personal, relaxed and enjoyable while helping them grow as artists!
