Art, drawing and painting. An art teacher with more than 10 years of experience

19.61 € /h

I invite you to join my lessons of art and academic drawing.
The program of the courses includes drawing, art discussing, studying
the techniques of grand masters, drawing with different means,
developing an ability to understand the History of Art.
Most of my students are planning to enter an art academy, but also
I teach families with children and adults, who are non-professional artists.

If you practice visual arts, whatever you do, whether it is painting or drawing from life, any work still reveals, even implicitly, your knowledge of perspective, understanding of the conveyance of space depth on the 2-dimensional plane of a sheet....

These skills are universal to all visual art disciplines, they are important to every artist, and mastering them will make you part of a group of professionals.

However, to advance in training you must understand your mistakes and be able to evaluate your works. This requires individual work with a teacher one-on-one. Therefore, I offer lessons, advice on drawing via Skype in real time mode one-on-one with the teacher, in the course of which we will discuss particularly your works, analyze particularly your works and select tasks for independent work particularly for you.

At the lessons I answer the questions about art, artists, history of art, give consultations on homework, the drawings that were made independently, discuss different topics related to art.
Using my experience working as a graphic designer and my experience from working at an advertising agency, I have developed an art program that helps eleven to sixteen year old children gain applicable and useful skills in drawing and painting which could be relevant in numerous professions. The lessons are relevant to various topics that can give a child a general outlook on different art professions.

Except for academic drawing and painting skills, we study professional terms and topics that are related to different commercial art fields. This overview is important because though many children are interested in drawing, they may not know their precise artistic inclinations. They can not answer the question, "what artistic field (animation, movie making, graphic design etc.) interests them most?"

We review classical textbooks at the lessons, and discuss how drawing skills, and the understanding of composition are used in different art fields.

Most of us are familiar with the classical textbook on typography, Typography by Emil Ruder. But how do we understand it ? What is the "negative space" of a character? How do we tell a story using visually different types? And what is most interesting in the work of a graphic designer? These questions are answered at my lessons.

Other engrossing books are:

Picture Composition for Film and Television by
Peter Ward, and The Visual Story : Creating the Visual Structure of Film, TV and Digital Media by Bruce Block.

These books discuss art in a professional framework and define the professional terms that are used in movie making and video. They are understandable to children over fourteen years old
who study academic drawing, painting and composition under my direction.

I took part in these exhibitions-
1996 CATECHISMUS-450, Vilnius, Lithuania
1997 Lietuvos MOKYKLAI-600, Vilnius, Lithuania
MINI PRINT INTERNATIONAL 18 , Cadaques, Spain
18DE BIENNALE VAN DE KLEIGRAFIEK , Belgium
2000 INTERNATIONAL TRIENNAL OF GRAPHIC ART, Bitola, Czech Republic
2008 SOVIART gallery. Group exhibition. Kiev, Ukraine.

Also I won some Awards -
2002 II Prize International Plain air in Pshemysl, Poland
2003 Grant | residency Foundation Valparaiso, Spain
2006 Bourse de Gouvernement Français, (Scholarship of French government), ENS de Cachan, Paris, France
2007 Partial scholarship | residency San Serrat, Spain
2008 III Prize in Painting Contest De Ribas organized by the Embassy of Spain, Kiev, Ukraine

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.

De cursus is een Basiscursus en geschikt voor de beginnende als gevorderde tekenaar.
Tijdens de lessen werk je met eenvoudige basismaterialen en in het begin voornamelijk met kleurpotlood om je mandala’s uit te werken. De materialen en hun gebruik ga ik uitgebreid aan je uitleggen.
Naast het tekenen ga ik ook in op de voordelen van het tekenen van mandala’s en hoe je dit kunt gebruiken om jezelf beter te leren kennen en ontwikkelen. Van elke mandala ontvang je een beschrijving over wat er zichtbaar is geworden tijdens het tekenen. In de eerste les ga ik hier uitgebreid over vertellen.
Het is fijn om wat basismaterialen te hebben, daarvan ontvang je een lijst voor aanvang van je eerste les. Ook ontvang je na elke les een PDF met daarin alle behandelde stof, zodat je het later allemaal nog eens rustig kunt nakijken of op een later tijdstip weer kunt oppakken.

De basiscursus bestaat uit 9 lessen die per les anderhalf uur duren. Ook mag en kun je tussentijds altijd contact met me opnemen als er eventuele vragen zijn.

Er is ook de mogelijkheid om diverse vervolgcursussen te volgen na deze basiscursus. De mogelijkheden kunnen tijdens 1 van de laatste lessen besproken worden.

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.

I offer specialised lessons in portraiture and/or observational drawing.
Available in both English and Dutch :)

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.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

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.

Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts.

I teach art history to anyone who wants to, regardless of age or level, online or at my home in Velp. You can learn about, among other things, the visual arts, music and literature from prehistory to the present. You can work towards an exam/test/training or just learn out of interest. Whether it concerns Michelangelo's David or the graffiti on the walls of Dubai, I'll be happy to tell you about it. Anything is possible.

I trained as a musician/writer and teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have taught art history, music history, creative writing, and other subjects to the upper grades of a small secondary school for several years, where I am also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various secondary and higher education schools. I have extensive experience with innovative teaching methods and one-on-one teaching.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Besides art history, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, creative writing and mathematics.

I have academic teaching experience from the TU Eindhoven, where I graduated in architecture. I can teach you how to construct perspective, make concept sketches, but also how to overcome a creative block by working with the non-dominant (creative) part of your brain. My goal is to share my knowledge and passion for drawing while supporting you on your own creative path. I will focus on what feels natural for your growth. Individual approach is key to my method.

Everyone can learn how to draw. You can, too! It is your unique perception, that calls you to be expressed on paper. Listen to that voice. Allow yourself to take care of your creative dream! Contact me today and let's begin!

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!

With a background melting classical and contemporary clarinet performance, to theatrical movement, masks, and storytelling, I bring a fresh approach to music education. My experience includes leading creative workshops for children through the Philharmonie de Paris and developing artistic projects for young audiences.

In my classes, we explore sound as character, rhythm as movement, and performance as story.
For me, the body is the key to learning : I guide students to develop their body awareness as part of learning, an approach often missing from traditional lessons.

We will explore:

Clarinet technique
Musical interpretation
Improvisation and creativity exercises
Stage presence, movement, and breathing
Connecting music to visual or theatrical elements
Bonus (if possible and committed!) :programming small performances for families, social gatherings, or cultural events

My teaching philosophy: Music is not only notes on a page, it’s a living art that connects body, breath, and imagination. I meet each student where they are, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Open to all ages and levels, from beginners discovering their first notes to advanced players seeking to deepen their artistry.
