I enjoy teaching and sharing skills with people who are interested in art at any level. I love to teach foundation skills as well as skills in navigating applications for art programs and portfolio building since I know this can be challenging.

I am also open to teaching classes that focus more closely on a specific type of drawing, or sculpture. Please feel free to send me a message if you are interested in something in particular.

I have a Bachelor degree in Sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, 2015
I recently graduated with a Master's in Fine art from Hogeschool for de Kunsten Utrecht, 2020

Easy printmaking at home! Gelatin (or agar) Print-Making (3-class workshop)

43.16 $ /h

This class is for those interested in getting started in printmaking from their home!
Gelatin printing is a very fun, easy, non-toxic method to create beautiful and unique images. Gelatin is the traditional material for this method, but can be vegan using agar instead (you can state your preference).

A plate of gelatin is created which becomes the surface to hold the ink. Different objects, fabrics, utensils, shapes can be used to create patterns and images in the print.

This class can be done in a set of 3 1 hour classes (preferably 3 days in a row), but the class timing can be adapted and can be extended depending on the desire..

In the first class you will learn how to make the gelatin plate and care for it, and start to learn about different techniques.

The second class you will begin to print. You will learn how to use the gelatin plate and ink and will try a few different techniques and surfaces to print on.

In the third class you will learn some more advanced techniques and applications for the gelatin printing.

After this you'll be an expert and can print at home whenever you want!

For children, this class will need to be done in person, or if doing an online class will need the help of an adult to make the gelatin plate.

Private art lessons for all levels provided by a professional graphic designer, print maker and visual artist!

I provide teaching in traditional sketching, drawing, painting as well as applied arts and graphic arts like printing or illustration.

Through a custom-made program, learn how to draw and paint, create illustrations and artworks or learn how to improve your creative and artistic process!
With me, you or your children will learn how to find your own style and tools. Get to experiment with different styles – be it realistic, figurative or abstract! – and OR choose to focus on subject and method.

Among the techniques and skills you will be able to learn, there is :
painting (acrylic, oil), watercolours, sketching, drawing (pencil, brushes), illustration, colour theory, collage, mixed medias, linocut engraving and printmaking, book making, clay, stencil, lettering...

Traditional drawing and painting include knowledges such as : light, shape, line, colour theory, space, composition. You will get to learn through copy of master works and real life observation (still life, landscape, portrait).

A programme of various activities for children and teens is available, focusing on the development of their curiosity, creativity and interpersonal skills. I will work with them on topics that they are interested in while developing a sympathetic, ethical and open-minded approach. They will learn how to see the world differently by using different techniques, materials, recycling elements or going from 2D to 3D works by using sculpture or installation.

For advanced students, I also provide counseling on creative thinking, artistic process and techniques. You will learn how and where to find inspiration, create better artworks through process, art history, composition, rythm, colour theory or experiment.

All programs will be custom-made, adapting techniques, level and themes to the pupil(s). Children can be taught in small groups.

Trombone lessons
Learning to master the trombone is no easy task. It is an infinitely variable instrument, it has no valves or valves, which means that the hearing in particular must be well trained. Solfège is an important part of my lessons. If you can sing something, you can also play it, is my vision. Besides trombone lessons I also give trumpet lessons for beginners. Even then I use the ear training method.

At music schools I teach according to the AMV principle. With that you can get your diplomas, A to D. The latter is, as it were, the audition for the conservatory.

In my studio in Krimpen aan de Lek, near Rotterdam, I give music lessons according to your needs. That can be technical mastery, or being able to recite an étude or concert beautifully. But also learning to play over a chord scheme, improvising, being able to play freely.

I can come to you if you live, for example, in Capelle aan den IJssel, in Dordrecht or Rotterdam.

COVID-19 update 2021: Due to the corona crisis, I am currently also teaching online via Skype. However, my studio is so large that the 1.5 meters can be maintained at the 1 on 1 classes. In addition, there is a screen between the student and myself

<<<<Welcome to Inua Art Atelier – A Real Studio Experience>>>>
“A creative learning space rooted in professional atelier training — where you’ll grow your artistic skills, try diverse techniques, and enjoy the freedom to explore like a true artist.”

👋 Who I am?
My name is Shuchen — I’m a trained visual artist from China and France, now based in Delft.
In these workshops, I share the creative learning style I grew up with: each session explores a new material, technique, or concept — just like in a professional art atelier.

🌟 Why to join?
- Grow your skills and explore different styles.
- Learn how a real artist be trained.
- Meet mind-liked people ignite the local art community

Join any week — each session is independent, but connects to a bigger journey.

✨ Workshop Details:
When: Every Wednesday, 19:00–22:00 (2hours guidance +1hour self drawing time )
Small Group: Max 8 people for personalised attention.

🎨 Not just a workshop — a creative journey.
Each week we explore a new topic or technique — from line drawing, sketch to painting. Get to know materials: pencil, charcoal, acrylic, oil painting, Chinese ink. Dive in to various styles: Impressionism, Fauvism and Surrealism — just like in real art school.
Every session is beginner-friendly and independent, so you can join anytime. It’s perfect if you want more than a one-time experience — and want to grow real skills over time.

Most short workshops focus on just one thing — plant, portrait or landscape. But real artists learn to see and understand the principles. So that you can find your own way to create.
In my workshops, we go deeper and learn the grammer of visual art: exploring value, color theory, composition and creativity through many styles.
Think of it like an art school evening — but cozy, flexible, and beginner-friendly.

👩‍🎨My teaching method:
I’m an art teacher with my own atelier, and I also teach at a local art centre. I run creative workshops for both kids and adults from all kinds of backgrounds. I love designing classes that mix hands-on technique with Art history.
I’m really enjoying guiding people discover their own expression in art.
My approach tend to be student-focused which also shaped by my international background. For me, it is important creating a welcoming space where people feel free and inspired to explore. Whether someone’s picking up a brush for the first time or coming back to art after years, I’m there to encourage them.

Let’s spend this summer growing your skills, one brushstroke at a time. See you at the studio!
