Fine and Decorative Arts available for everyone! Learn how to express yourself in a creative way and understand the meaning behind your art.

From 13 £ /h

Throughout my four years of study in the “Dimitrie Paciurea” Art High School in Bucharest, I was able to study art in depth and in its various manifestations, and in doing so I was able to see the glimpses of the subconscious mind set as reflected in art.

My teaching method is based on communication and experience. By that I mean that, I approach my students with curiosity, promoting their researching abilities. Moreover, I deeply analyse and question the meanings of their chosen topics of inspiration, in order to offer a better understanding of the symbolic meaning behind their though process.

Likewise, I promote freedom of choice in their subjects with guidance throughout each project, and encourage originality and ingenuity. Thus allowing them to understand themselves on another level.
Subsequently, due to my experience in working with disabled children I have understood that the subconscious is present in any creative project hence why if I suspect that the child is going through some hard times I will immediately offer feedback to their parents.

Altogether, my final goal is to understand the hidden meaning of the hints left by the subconscious, through our day to day life, and inspire others to adventure in this journey

Extra information

Some of the materials will be provided by me (such as easels, supports, snacks and beverages, only when teaching occurs at my place) and the rest of the materials will be acquired together after the first lesson.

About Me

My capstone project included three paintings on canvas that pondered on the human psychological conditions and how they transform the actors’ lives. In addition, I studied and practiced painting outside of school from a very young age, including participating in numerous art exhibitions, which brought me even closer to see the reflections of the mind through the artistic process. These experiences and exposures have in turn fed my curiosity, and so I decided to study psychology alongside my art studies. Hence why I am currently undergoing preparations in order to start my undergraduate course in September.

Furthermore, I have been involved in numerous volunteer opportunities to help children with special needs. I was a volunteer with the Healthy Family Association-Small Ecologist Foundation (“Asociatia Familie Sanatoasa”) for 4 years, where I worked with children with special needs and their parents. Most importantly, I gained patience, compassion and an observant spirit, which will serve me well in a professional setting.

As a Community artist with an MA in community art from Goldsmith's university I can offer specialised classes that focus on bringing that extra bit of creativity out of you! An expert in Water colour painting and Hand lino printing I will offer a class that encourages you to express yourself in this art form! I can take you through the basics of creating that extra lighting glow on a water colour painting or making that raw emotional texture given off of a hand made lino print.

I have run many workshops in willow bending and willow sculpture making and so also offer classes in this fabulous art form. I can offer creative guidance and tuition on most art forms ranging from Wood work to drawing and so can offer tutorial sessions based on your creative wants or desires. Your first class would therefore be based on gathering an idea of what creative process you would like to focus on and then building your creativity from there.

I am an architectural assistant and hold a Masters degree in Architecture. Having a strong passion towards art and human behaviour has led me to shaping haptic spaces to enable a journey full of encounters. I believe our subconsciousness can be expressed through bodily movements that can initiate with the mere moment of grabbing a pencil or a brush. As a result, my class explores the poetry behind art and its essence. My teaching method revolves around finding an individual's inner characteristics and conveying this into an expressive art form.

My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. During my class, different mediums will be tested to ignite creativity.

As a result of my profession, my classes can involve digital design involving Photoshop and Illustrator. It is important to be able to understand both 2D and 3D forms and so, my teaching method can include both aspects.

Portrait Sketching is a skill which you need when who don’t have any idea on what to gift people on their birthday’s. Just kidding.
In this age of digital media, if you still want to learn physical sketching and painting, you have my heart. The worth of a hand drawn sketch or painting is still more.
This class would have basics to advanced techniques of sketching and painting and would require basic pencils, paint and your own brain in the beginning, then we can move to other tools required.
Don’t worry if you haven’t painted or sketched before, the worst that could happen is lot of pages being torn but some might turn out to be abstract which we can sell and then split the money, hahaha! that’s it, rest would be fun.

I am a Goldsmiths BA Fine art second year. I do paintings and scultings mainly and sculptural paintings. I love to understand and feel the materials and use the materialities' characteristics and histories to symbolise meanings in my work.

My class would be suitable for potential young childrens or teenagers who are interested in art or want to get into art. As art is the language for me, I would love my students to enjoy and show their creativity in my class and I would help them to develop and create actual works in real life.

There would be no pressure in this class I have experice of tutoring 10year old child and he was enjoying every class. He had ADHD and showed ADHD behaviours during class but as a neurodivergent person I gave him a breaks during classes and talked about his interests so I could figure out what he is interested in so I could prepare next class for him and at the same time the kid could had his little refreshment from doing art work. And I had 1:1 meetings with their parents because they wanted to know how it went and how he was behaving so I gave her a lot of feedbacks from my perspective (I did let her know it is from my perspective) .

My dream is to be an artist/ art professor(university tutor) as I also had mental health issues so I am aware of how to deal with people who should I take more care of and also as a neurodivergent person I could deal with neurodivergent students:)

My curriculum would be very personalised by students.

If you are interested leave me a text message:)

Hi there,

I'm Kim! I hope you’re well! Thanks for dropping by.

About the course:

I'm here to share all I've learned with students of all skill levels and age groups.

As with many things, the best way to learn is to do. I will therefore take you through the entire professional process of designing a character for an animated project - from the fundamentals of anatomy drawing, to the initial research stage to iteration sketches, all the way through to the final model sheets!

By the end, you will have created a memorable character that is unique, full of appeal, exuding personality, and ready to be animated. And you will have gained a valuable insight into the weird and wonderful world of professional character design.

---------------------------------

About me:

I am a professional character designer and illustrator from Australia, currently based in London, UK.

In 2019, I graduated with the Bachelor of Design in Animation with First Class Honours from the University of Technology, Sydney.

Since graduating, I have had the privilege of working as a character designer and animator on the Netflix animated series, ‘Adventure Beast,’ enjoyed a design internship with Cheeky Little Media, and have also had the pleasure of illustrating several children's picture books for Playtime Books.

These days, I am designing characters for Hey Daisy Moon, and have been tutoring character design, cartooning, and general drawing skills to students of all ages since 2021.

If you have a passion for bringing exciting characters to life, or just want to improve your drawing skills, I would love to help you achieve your goals! In any case, I wish you a wonderful day.

A great class if you'd like to know about how light works in drawing, and looking at and working on drawings basics. I will be looking at basic forms to start, drawing simple line objects, learning how light works and how to apply that to any drawings. Can also get more technical depending on your skill level.

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!

I understand how challenging it can be to master perspective, colour, and contrast, or to translate complex concepts into compelling visuals and clear projects, and I love helping others navigate that process. My goal is to help you grow your skills, strengthen your creative voice, and find joy and confidence in the act of drawing and designing.

I offer lessons for architecture and design students, or individual interested in design, who want to strengthen their visual communication skills through drawing and sketching, from foundational techniques to advanced architectural and landscape illustration.
I’m passionate about creating a supportive, judgement-free atmosphere where you can learn and experiment with confidence. My lessons are engaging and tailored to your individual needs, blending structured learning with creative exploration. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, my adaptable approach ensures you feel both comfortable and challenged.
With experience teaching languages, dance, and drawing, I focus on building a positive and effective learning experience, for adults and young adults, online or in person.

I can help you with:
- For architecture and design students: communicate your ideas clearly, develop visual thinking, and refine your portfolio, renders, and presentation skills.
- Architectural and landscape illustration: master perspective, light, and contrast to bring your drawings to life.
- Art journaling: explore creative sketching as a way to express ideas and document inspiration.
