Fine Art Tutorials in drawing, painting and other mediums

From 25 £ /h

I teach fine art with an emphasis on painting and drawing, you will learn how to draw using charcoal, graphite, pencil and paint using oils, acrylic, ink and watercolour. However the lessons are deigned to experiment with as many materials and approaches to making art as possible in order to for you open up your practice.
The tutorials are also designed to engage in critical thinking, discussing your work in an informal but constructive way, and learning about art history by looking at other artists past and present.
Art is about being passionate and finding something you want to express in a visual language, and I’m here to help facilitate your vision.

About Me

I’m a 39 year old practicing artist with a studio in Limehouse. Im trained as a painter but my practice involves adding 3 dimensional elements to the paintings.
The way i structure my tutorials is firstly based on a discussion around materials either prior to the lesson or during, these can either be brought in by me or ordered in advance. I also often bring unusual materials from my studio to make the tutorial surprising and fun like bits of expanding foam for example.
The tutorials are centred around a response to the activity taking place, opening up new dimensions either by introducing new material ideas or through a thought process.
I’m a caring person who values passion, hard work and focus.
