Basic Art materials and drawings/painting knowledge are essential for your beginning in the art industry. As soon as you start to develop more skills better prepared you will be for your future career. My path as an artist, graphic designer, and art tutor started when I was in primary school. I have a solid background in Fine art and graduate Master in Art teaching back in 2013. I believe that everyone needs support and practice in their early stage of education outside of the classroom. This course will give you the most important information, skills, and knowledge that you need to clarify further steps in your Art and design career.

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.

Step-by-step workshop to create a beautiful animal illustration which will teach your child skills in line pressure, shading, toning, texturising and surface pattern design.

I will demonstrate and guide your child through the drawing process, starting with line pressure and applying simple geometric shapes and intricate patterns and textures to create their own animal illustration.

Art is a special medium that can be used in many different forms to elicit one's feelings, emotions, and purview of the world around them both its beauty and ugliness.
My class will be a way for students who either have little to no experience or a lot and create work that resonates with them and o just have fun and enjoy the art world without being held behind ''perfection''.
I will cover many facets of art such as painting (acrylic, oils and mainly water colour) as well as sketching and colouring, as well as photography and how we are able to capture an idea in a photograph.

In this tailor-made Portfolio-preparation course, your child will build his/her own body of work, from research, idea development, and thinking processes, to the final piece of art which helps to prepare for interviews, university admission, or competitions.

In the course, it is full of flexibility and creative processes, your child will develop his/her interpretation of chosen themes and unique personal styles.
