Art is a great way to express your feelings and is a great life skill. It allows you to see life from a different perspective and it makes you feel alive. Art has always been an important part of human society since the beginning of time. Art has been used as a tool for cultural exchange, education, and expression.
I've finished an art college and it is a big part of my life. I am happy to share my skills and experience with others who have an interest in art. I have an experience in working with children, but I'm also happy to teach adults.

Artistic experimentation is an integral part of exploring oneself and the surrounding environment.
This programme has been carefully curated alongside young artists over the course of six years and integrates different forms of visual expression such as : sculpture, installation, performance, drawing, painting and many more.
We explore unexpected parallels in art history and visual techniques, building up a wide range of artistic references and technical knowledge in a playful environment in order to explore the sensitivity of our own bodies, thoughts and the world around us.
Although the programme is compiled both with genre, technique and art history in mind, there is always space for adaptation according to the preferences and visual tastes of the student.

Many of us love to paint either our emotions or the beauty we find in the nature.

The beloved ones in our life as portraits, the dear items we treasure as still-life, and the peace we find in landscape.

I teach painting techniques, that I develop from traditional painting, oil to water based mediums- acrylic and oil paint, tempera and mix media, depends on your interest I can guild you with developing your skills and finding your expression.

Art is our gift to understand ourselves and create a space for our mind to explore what is meaningful for us.

I am grateful to have you in my artistic career to share my knowledge and the light in our artwork.

Hi there! I'm Liuba, a painter who’s genuinely in love with acrylics and all the creative mess they bring.
I work in various genres — abstract art, still life, landscapes, portraits, floral compositions — basically, if it sparks emotion, I paint it.

My artworks have found homes around the world through online galleries like Saatchi Art and Artfinder. But what I love just as much as painting is sharing the joy of it with others.

I offer fun and relaxed private art lessons for kids and adults — no pressure, just creativity and a lot of color. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or want to loosen up your style, I’ll guide you through with patience and good humor (and maybe some paint on your sleeves).

I’m based in the Amsterdam area and happy to travel to your location within the region.

If you're looking for someone to help bring out the artist in your child — or yourself — I’d be thrilled to connect! 🎨

Hi! I'm Julia, a Fine Art student at HKU, and I love helping kids explore their creativity through art. I offer fun, personalised art classes for children aged 4-13, where they can experiment, express themselves, and develop their artistic skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.

I grew up in Asia and the UK, so I'm fluent in both Dutch and English-meaning I can also mix in some language tutoring if that's something you'd like!
I've worked with kids for years including two years as an art teacher at Hampstead School of Art in London and as a painting instructor at Timberlake Summer Camp in the US.
I truly believe that creativity is one of the most valuable things to nurture from a young age. My own love for art started in childhood art classes, and I’d to love to help spark that same excitement!

Lesson format: Let me know what your child is interested in, and we can create a lesson plan that fits them perfectly!

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

Painting has been always my passion since childhood and even perusing my study in medicine could not stop me from learning this passion. Now I would love to share my experience with other painting lovers by teaching watercolor techniques. While drawing skills are highly appreciated, for beginners with no painting/drawing experience my courses can be useful and by the end of each course students can have a piece of art made by themselves!
