Art is a creative activity of human skills and creativity such as sculpture, painting, literature, dancing, music to mention but a few.
These activities has over the years been used to demonstrate man’s ability to pass down testimonies stories from one generation to another, As well as historic activities.

The world revolves around art. We are products of it and the ability to tap into that well of creativity will affect everything that concerns us.
I am a hyperrealism artist and I will teach people how to express themselves through art and show them basically how to draw.

Apart from being one of the oldest forms of self-expression, drawing and painting is scientifically proven to enhance brain function, raise serotonin levels, relax the nervous system and therefore improve our general well-being. Watercolor painting is particularly therapeutic as we explore the properties of watercolors through mark-making techniques which we can later apply in our more elaborate paintings. Even if you are a complete beginner with a 'can't do' attitude, I will guide you through the process of selecting a subject, doing an initial sketch, mixing colors, and applying some of the techniques we explored in the first stages of our class.

At present, I only offer outdoor sketching and painting sessions around London parks and green spaces. It's also a very enjoyable way of appreciating nature while learning a new skill. I will help you set up your easel if you are using one and help you set up for a successful outdoor session. When working outdoors weather conditions are often not ideal, wind, rain, too hot, too cold..etc. I will help you work with the elements which might just produce some of your best work as you work faster and more freely. There is nothing like capturing the atmosphere of a place on location. By working en plein air you are also telling a visual story of the place.

Ideal for visual storytellers, illustrators, bloggers, or anyone interested in gaining more confidence painting on location. I recommend a minimum of 2-hour session. Longer sessions can be arranged also.
Sessions can be booked in advance.

I would like to use my experties in art to help people who wanted to be better at their drawing as hobby or other purposes. Feel free to ask any questions. I am vaccinated and farely careful. I hope to meet student in person for this job if you guys are ok. Thank you.

I can teach watercolour, pen or pencil drawings, ink paintings. and etc.

Drawing and painting is fun, creative and can assist in developing a child's imagination. Learning the fundamentals of fine art builds a strong foundation in the creative process which is a transferrable skill.

I have designed this course so that children can understand the different approaches to drawing and painting, which will develop their artistic knowledge and skills. It will also allow them to freely express themselves through visuals.

Approaching our creativity can be intimidating or even frightening at times if done without some confidence in basic skills or a driving and canalised inspiration. This class aims at addressing the development of both allowing the students to express themselves with ease and satisfaction.

The program is structured following the needs of the student. Each of them though will develop a well-grounded and consisted understanding of several mediums. From drawing with pen, ink or charcoal to painting with watercolour, oils or acrylics. Once a discrete mastery of the medium has been reached the students will find themselves capable of bending the potentialities of the technique to express themselves freely.

It is not my interest to teach the impeccable technique, but rather to empower the students with simple and clear tools so that they might fluidly use them intuitively and with confidence.

My goal is to transmit and share what I have learnt by the side of artists and illustrators in Rome, New York and London and through my personal research. I strongly believe the direct human connection between teacher and student is key in the learning process.

I am hold MA in Fine Arts, Painting and have been working predominantly in oil on canvas. I also work on paper a lot in my own practice.
I have an excellent knowledge of paintings and drawing techniques and am really good in conveying my expertise.
Apart from tutoring live drawing and painting, monitoring student's progress through assignments and feedback sessions.
As I am also a contemporary curator, I provide portfolio reviews.

I am a practicing artist who regularly exhibits around the world. Passionate about teaching, I have been a Fine Arts tutor for over three years at several major London universities (Goldsmiths, Camberwell and Turps).

I also have two years experience teaching arts with teenagers with autism.

The class would be based on creativity to learn. With enthusiasm through my knowledge of art and different techniques to obtain a strong feeling of achievement and ownership of the work in the class.

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.

For the past eight years, I’ve worked as a technician and tutor at the Royal College of Art and UAL, supporting students in fashion, fine art, and product design with their Rhino and Blender projects.

Before that, I worked as a model maker, and now I’m focused on teaching and creating fine art.

Blender.
I offer instruction in creating detailed static renderings, producing digital models ready for 3D printing, and understanding Blender’s workflows for a professional finish.

Rhino.
I'll help you navigate Rhino’s precision tools, preparing your designs for 3D printing and CNC production with an emphasis on detail and accuracy.

Skill Building:
I can guide you through both foundational and advanced techniques in Blender or Rhino, ensuring you develop a strong understanding of the software’s tools and workflows. We'll focus on the areas that best support your creative goals, whether you're looking to create detailed models for product design, render static images for fashion concepts, or develop sculptures for fine art.

Project Development:
If you're working on a specific project, I can support you at each stage—from initial concept and digital modeling to preparing files for 3D printing or CNC fabrication. We'll explore ways to optimize your designs and troubleshoot technical challenges, ensuring your final output aligns with your creative vision.

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!
