My name is Hugo, I am a passionate artist and educator based in the vibrant city
of London. With a background in sculpture, painting, and drawing, I've had
the privilege of delving into the world of art both as a creator and as a
mentor. As an experienced tutor, I'm excited to share my knowledge and
artistic journey with you. We will work on your skills from the ground up or pick up where you left before. Every lesson is personalized to you and I can teach you any medium and material you want to learn. From oil and acrylic painting to even sculpture if you wish.

Hi! I am passionate about teaching and encouraging my students to tap into their own unique potential. I can help provide technical training with painting being my speciality in acrylics, oils, watercolour, gouache and ink.
I believe the most fulfilling experiences with making art comes from an innate place of joy, playfulness and experimenting. I can provide a calm, relaxed and encouraging environment, allowing you to explore and hone in on skills you didn't realise you had or maybe to work on skills you already know you like, but want to get better at.
I am a practicing artist who has exhibited internationally and have worked for artists for over 7 years so I have vast knowledge on contemporary art and the art world. So whether it is institutions you wish to work with, sell work or to just make work, I will be able to share my experiences and insight with you.

This painting lecture class offers an immersive experience for students eager to explore the world of art. Throughout the course, you’ll delve into various painting techniques, color theory, and the history of painting, providing them with a well-rounded understanding of the medium. The class will feature hands-on demonstrations, allowing you to practice what they learn in real-time.

One of the key benefits of this class is its focus on fostering creativity and self-expression. You will have the opportunity to experiment with different styles and materials, encouraging them to develop their unique artistic voice. Additionally, the class will include critiques and discussions, promoting a collaborative environment where you can learn from each other and receive constructive feedback.

By the end of the course, you will not only have improved their technical skills but also gained confidence in their artistic abilities. This class is a resourceful platform for aspiring artists, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in their creative endeavors.

Art is a means of expression for the mind. Through art, we are able to start to realise our dreams, imaginations and visions.

During this class, you will be guided on how to develop ideas into tangible objects which then aids you in communicating your dreams, imaginations and visions. The class also empowers you to be daring in your approaches through inviting you to test media, approaches and techniques.

Being able to bring into existence a beautiful art piece the exact way you perceive it is an exceptional feat. I specialise in the realm of realism and surrealism - and I would like to help others do the same.

In my classes, you will learn the basics of sketching realistic features of people, animals and locations. Building realism through different mediums and techniques, regardless of what level you are in this class will help you reach your realism ideals. No previous experience required, these classes are for anyone with personal artistic goals.

I am an oil pastel lover who turns to this medium again and again — when I’m happy, tired, bored, overwhelmed, or simply longing to be surrounded by colour. Oil pastels have accompanied me through many moments of life, always offering comfort, freedom, and expression.

Every time I paint with oil pastels, I find a sense of relaxation and inner peace — something increasingly precious in our fast-paced world.

Oil pastels are, to me, a truly magical material. They can be firm or soft, bold or delicate, layered or blended. With just your hands and simple tools, they invite both control and spontaneity, making them perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

In an age where AI can generate endless images, I believe deeply in preserving the human act of creation — the joy of touching materials, playing with colour, and allowing emotions to flow through the hands. Painting is not just about making images; it is about reconnecting with ourselves.

I believe everyone has the ability to create art. Everyone has their own sense of colour, rhythm, and expression.

**** What you will learn in this class ****
🖼️ Essential oil pastel techniques (layering, blending, texture, and composition)

🎨 Colour combinations and how to develop your own colour language

🖌️ Creative approaches to painting freely and intuitively

🧘 How to use painting and colour as a tool for relaxation, emotional release, and self-care

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. No prior art experience is required — only curiosity and openness!

**** Materials ****
In-person sessions: All materials are provided, including oil pastels, paper, masking tape, and palette knives. Just bring yourself.
Online sessions: Materials are not provided, but I will guide you in advance on what to prepare and how to use simple and accessible supplies.

In our sessions, we don’t just paint — we explore, connect, and gently listen to our inner world.

I look forward to sharing this colourful, calming, and meaningful journey with you!
