A Drawing and Panting Program for Those, who Loves Nature.

38 C$ /h

If you have a beautiful garden or live in a countryside close to nature, you can start your drawing with exercises using simple plants.The shapes that can be found in the natural environment are variable and studying them is a true pleasure.

Take a look at these drawings below. These drawings by Henri Matisse were inspired by ordinary trees and plants.

Art, drawing and painting. An art teacher with more than 10 years of experience

32 C$ /h

I invite you to join my lessons of art and academic drawing.
The program of the courses includes drawing, art discussing, studying
the techniques of grand masters, drawing with different means,
developing an ability to understand the History of Art.
Most of my students are planning to enter an art academy, but also
I teach families with children and adults, who are non-professional artists.

If you practice visual arts, whatever you do, whether it is painting or drawing from life, any work still reveals, even implicitly, your knowledge of perspective, understanding of the conveyance of space depth on the 2-dimensional plane of a sheet....

These skills are universal to all visual art disciplines, they are important to every artist, and mastering them will make you part of a group of professionals.

However, to advance in training you must understand your mistakes and be able to evaluate your works. This requires individual work with a teacher one-on-one. Therefore, I offer lessons, advice on drawing via Skype in real time mode one-on-one with the teacher, in the course of which we will discuss particularly your works, analyze particularly your works and select tasks for independent work particularly for you.

At the lessons I answer the questions about art, artists, history of art, give consultations on homework, the drawings that were made independently, discuss different topics related to art.
Using my experience working as a graphic designer and my experience from working at an advertising agency, I have developed an art program that helps eleven to sixteen year old children gain applicable and useful skills in drawing and painting which could be relevant in numerous professions. The lessons are relevant to various topics that can give a child a general outlook on different art professions.

Except for academic drawing and painting skills, we study professional terms and topics that are related to different commercial art fields. This overview is important because though many children are interested in drawing, they may not know their precise artistic inclinations. They can not answer the question, "what artistic field (animation, movie making, graphic design etc.) interests them most?"

We review classical textbooks at the lessons, and discuss how drawing skills, and the understanding of composition are used in different art fields.

Most of us are familiar with the classical textbook on typography, Typography by Emil Ruder. But how do we understand it ? What is the "negative space" of a character? How do we tell a story using visually different types? And what is most interesting in the work of a graphic designer? These questions are answered at my lessons.

Other engrossing books are:

Picture Composition for Film and Television by
Peter Ward, and The Visual Story : Creating the Visual Structure of Film, TV and Digital Media by Bruce Block.

These books discuss art in a professional framework and define the professional terms that are used in movie making and video. They are understandable to children over fourteen years old
who study academic drawing, painting and composition under my direction.

I took part in these exhibitions-
1996 CATECHISMUS-450, Vilnius, Lithuania
1997 Lietuvos MOKYKLAI-600, Vilnius, Lithuania
MINI PRINT INTERNATIONAL 18 , Cadaques, Spain
18DE BIENNALE VAN DE KLEIGRAFIEK , Belgium
2000 INTERNATIONAL TRIENNAL OF GRAPHIC ART, Bitola, Czech Republic
2008 SOVIART gallery. Group exhibition. Kiev, Ukraine.

Also I won some Awards -
2002 II Prize International Plain air in Pshemysl, Poland
2003 Grant | residency Foundation Valparaiso, Spain
2006 Bourse de Gouvernement Français, (Scholarship of French government), ENS de Cachan, Paris, France
2007 Partial scholarship | residency San Serrat, Spain
2008 III Prize in Painting Contest De Ribas organized by the Embassy of Spain, Kiev, Ukraine

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.

Almost every musician can play some piano, but that does not mean they are pianists or piano teachers.
I offer piano lessons at your place for an affordable price.
I have a diploma in piano pedagogy. I studied didactics and methodology for teaching piano. I use modern methods and piano books. I have a big collection of music sheets available for my students. I am also interested in discovering historical methods of piano pedagogy that were used by the biggest composers such as W. A. Mozart and J. S. Bach.
My experiences: I've been teaching for 12 years and have taught almost 40 students, among them around 5 adults. I have an individual approach that will fit your needs, for instance, we can strictly follow the piano books, or we can improvise and play songs without music score or without talking about music theory. It is up to you. I'm looking forward to becoming your teacher!

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.

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 :)

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

WIth the passion for art and architecture, and both drawing and painting, I would be happy to share the knowledge I have about art (and architecture!). Lessons will be adjusted depending on your level and preferred direction. You can expect to learn from the basics of how to hold a pencil correctly - to training in portraits. I work in variety of methods and materials (can be seen on my website), therefore my knowledge is diverse. We can either explore which materials suit you more, or directly tackle the ones that have your preference.

Other than the art school that I completed in Moldova, I also have experience teaching architecture drawing at TU Eindhoven. I have extensive knowledge of perspective and construction of shadows, and tips and tricks that can make your architecture drawings stand out.

My aim is not only to teach you techniques but also to help you discover your strengths, develop your visual language, and find an approach to art that feels personal to you.

This ARTCLUB can teach you how to draw correct and you enjoying the process is my goal, to teach and share how to draw nice sketches and drawings. You can also ask me in class if you need to learn to speak languages like Danish, Ukrainian, Russian, and if you want to learn English, I can help too. For example, like how we say 'pencil' in Ukrainian, but the main thing is that you can talk to me freely without hesitation. I will always answer questions about the lesson, so don’t be afraid and just chat

Learn digital sculpture with ZBrush through an artistic and practical approach.

These lessons are designed for artists who want to learn how to create characters, creatures, figures and original designs in 3D, whether your goal is concept art, character development, digital art or 3D printing.

Rather than simply learning software tools, we will focus on the artistic decisions behind a successful sculpture: form, anatomy, proportions, silhouette, shapes, design and how to translate an idea into a convincing 3D piece.

Depending on your goals and experience, we can work on:

• Digital sculpting fundamentals and ZBrush workflow
• Human anatomy and figure sculpture
• Character and creature design
• Developing an idea or concept into a 3D sculpture
• Creating interesting shapes, silhouettes and visual details
• Improving an existing sculpture or portfolio piece
• Preparing a sculpture for 3D printing when relevant
• Presenting your work through lighting and rendering

The lessons can be adapted to beginners who are completely new to digital sculpture, as well as more experienced artists who want feedback and guidance to improve their work.

You can also bring your own character, concept or ongoing sculpture and we can develop it together during the lesson.
