Painting Mastery: From Sketch to professional Portfolio

Van 15.87 $ /h

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.

Over

I was born into a long line of artists, architects, painters, and sculptors, so art has surrounded me since childhood. It has always been more than a profession, it is the rhythm of my life and my greatest passion.

I work as both a traditional and digital painter, exploring humans, nature, surreal worlds, and storytelling through expressive scenes. My teaching embraces this same breadth: I guide students in both traditional and digital painting, helping them build strong technical foundations, color theory, composition, lighting, and texture while also encouraging them to explore their own imagination and personal voice.

Through a balance of structured practice and creative freedom, I aim to give students not only mastery of technique but also the confidence to transform their ideas into vivid, meaningful works of art.

Nederlands kan soms lastig zijn, ik wil jullie graag helpen om hier verder in te komen. We kunnen leuke opdrachten maken, stukjes lezen, woordjes oefenen.

Ook leer je veel van boeken lezen, zo kunnen we om en om een stuk lezen wanneer ik lees wil ik graag dat jij mee leest zodat je weet waar het over gaat en je het de volgende keer zelf kunt lezen.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.

For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

Hello there! Do you want to develop your creativity, skills and discover and expand your own style?
I give art classes, where I look at your personal wishes and make a plan so you develop your own unique style. I am a current Fine artist, working in multiple disciplines (grad. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht) and an art and culture teacher (graduated from Willem de Kooning Academy). I work in drawing, painting, video, installations, writing, music, and I experiment with plenty of media. I love to hear you and I find it important to hear the voice and authenticity of the students themselves, I can offer a personal lesson plan according to your wishes, in Dutch, English and Turkish.
Send me a message for further information!

I can teach you the basics of drawing such as perspective and shading. As for painting, i can show you whole the process of oil painting starting by fixing the canvas on a frame, bedmaking, isolation and painting itself. I can show you the basic methods of watercolor as well.

From woodwork I can let you know how to work with chisel, drawknife and how to sharp these tools well.

There is something you want more of in your life. Or just less. A goal you want to achieve. Such as more self-confidence, getting rid of your fear of failure, less stress or more love in your life. Maybe you want to find out what you actually want with your life or give yourself the space to make the dream you have come true.

Whatever is going on in your life, in the Free Spirit Creative Coaching Session we will look together at what you are dissatisfied or unhappy with and of course at what you would like to experience in your life. You make a painting with that. The canvas serves as the blank canvas in your life, which you will give substance to with your colors. You meet yourself along the way. In how happy it makes you, but also in what you find difficult. I guide you through the process (with assignments), help you to feel free so that you can express yourself from your feeling, in connection with your goal.

Which result appears on the canvas is a surprise (it doesn't have to look like anything), but what is certain is that you have connected with your new goal through form and color, have felt how nice it is to achieve this, so that after the session are ready to pull it all to you in real life and start experiencing it.

A personalized workshop in the chosen media designed to fit your situation. For smaller or larger groups.

Basic techniques. Nice and friendly atmosphere with professional teacher.

Materials included.
The price is per person.

For Who?: Suitable for adults, children and teenagers.
Duration: Best results are determined when the course involves multiple sessions (exact number and dates to be determined), but a single session is also possible.
Materials: All necessary materials are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring personal items that can serve as inspiration.

By approaching art as a means of self-exploration and healing, Naomi offers a unique opportunity to grow both as an artist and an individual. These classes are more than an art course; it is a journey into the heart of your own creative and emotional landscape.
