About Me

Hi, I’m Bella.

I believe art and design education can inspire children and teenagers to express their ideas and feelings creatively through various art elements, materials, and creative approaches. I want to be the inspirational art and design teacher who not only encourages children to express their ideas and feelings creatively and confidently but also uses art and design to discover their talents and interests to prepare for their future.

I’m an educator and artist based in London with ten+ years of experience in the art and design field. I have studied art and design in different counties – the United Kingdom, the United States, and Hong Kong, which led me to gain a wide range of art and design knowledge and techniques.

With the experience I acquired, I graduated from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design earning a first-class degree with my artworks exhibited in major museums and exhibitions, such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Barbican Centre, British Museum, JOYA Barcelona Contemporary Jewellery Fair and Beijing International Jewelry Art Exhibition.

As an art educator, I have developed and acquired a wide range of skills in creative teaching methods through my 5+ years of teaching art and design experience which students and parents find my lessons full of joy yet challenging!​

Drawing. Develop your innate abilities. We all have them, we just need to encourage ourselves to wake them up.
In my case, drawing was something that I developed as an adult. Until I was 26 I only drew a little house and a tree. I invite you to dare to cross your own threshold. In this drawing course we will learn to look, to let go of our hand, and recognize different types of strokes. We will work on realistic drawing while looking for our own inner drawing. The organic expression. Development of visualization techniques to be able to capture ideas and find our own style.

Learning creative process from a real artist (drawing and/or painting)
I believe that everyone can draw. All it takes is to sit down, start, and keep practicing. I have taught myself to draw faces/portraits and that is why I am very enthusiastic about conveying my creative process to others, so that they can also get started with what they want to create. I have developed my art and creative process throughout my life. After training at three different art academies, including Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam, I have now been working full-time as an artist for 8 years. I make my works with acrylic paint, but I still draw and sketch a lot on paper. My art style is a mix of spontaneous realism and abstract use of color, pop art and comic style. Are you interested in being creative, even if you don't know how and/or whether you can do it yet? No problem. We will work together and you will find your way of drawing or painting.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Graduated from a digital arts school, I give digital drawing lessons
I have a bachelor's degree in digital arts, obtained at Saint Luc in 2016. During my studies I did live modeling, had courses in color, 2D animation, perspectives and character design. I mainly draw with a graphics tablet. I explore different styles but particularly focus on character drawing. It is this flexibility that I wish to transmit during my lessons. Learn to look at an image, understand the way the artist composes it, then learn to reproduce a style. Not copying, but really understanding and being able to reuse this style for original creations.

Alexander Boamah

Drawing and illustration / Color application techniques / anatomical design / character creation / digital illustration / oil painting
Drawing with a pencil on paper or digitally has its science, creating characters and giving them life is another level, applying color with markers or paint requires perfection in the technique. That's why I'm here, to take you detail by detail through this world of art, to teach you everything you need to know about illustration (realism, human figure, landscaping, shadows) with (pencils, colors, markers, acrylics, vinyl, oils) or digitally (Photoshop, Procreate, Sketchbook) and much more. Just tell me what catches your attention and we'll work there.
