Hello,
I hope you are well.

If any of you would like to bring more art into your life, let me know. Relaxed, one to one drawing/painting sessions (depending on your level of experience) based on Right Brain Hemisphere techniques which enable everyone to simply relax and draw/paint.

I have teaching experience (courses, workshops, private lessons) from London, Belgium and Czech Republic. Also, can assist with preparation for GCSE in Art.
If you would like to know more, please get in touch.

I am very looking forward to hear from you.

The freedom of creativity is the most attractive way of self expression. However, to achieve the mastery to utilise consciously and productively this freedom, with both joy and confidence, with value and satisfaction, you need to have the 'tools' and attain certain skills to guide, facilitate, and uncover your potential. A grate achievement could not be done without breaking the rules, but to break the rules convincingly and doubtlessly, you first need to learn, acknowledge, and understand their natural laws and traditions.
Therefore, I am inviting to my tutorial classes, where online or in person, on beginner or advanced level, you will meet and learn the basic and most important skills of Drawing and Painting systematically through observation and references. You will practice and experiment to fully master a medium or a technique, will support your practice with Art and Colour theory, Perspective, and History of Art, in order to start easily drawing yourself, interpreting a favourite scene or a subject on a paper or canvas, and will create you diverse and appealing collection of artworks with attention, imagination, and excitement.

"Who knew gaining experience as an actor and experiencing performing in a dramatic fashion could be done with such quick results, passion and fun. Why didn't I start earlier? In saying that it might just be him."

As a teacher, course leader and facilitator, I have taught all ages for over 20 years. Whether it's primary school children on a Saturday wanting fun games and dramatic exercises building confidence and dramatic experience or professional actors preparing for a series regular, my skills are hard to match. Still a professional actor at the cutting edge of the business, my experience remains invaluable and I still enjoy sharing it and passing it down.

In this class we will explore drawing through a series of therapeutic art and mindfulness exercises. This class is designed to encourage students to free the mind of judgement and explore the realms of unpredictability and subconscious creation.

You will be lead through simple techniques of mark making, pattern and experimental drawing with a focus on breathing and sensation. As well as drawing to music, poems and film, we will be taking a look at a few artists who have worked within the realms of the abstract drawing and the subconscious.

The aim of this class is to quieten our conscious mind and place our thoughts completely in the present, in turn creating a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Painting is one of the oldest mediums in the world. I am an artist specialising in painting and I am fascinated by materialism, especially colour pigments. I believe I can offer a new perspective on painting to clients

My aim is to offer the knowledge I learn in the past and guide the client to the next level like my previse tutors. From improving their artistic skills to applying for university. I believe I can help those who are interested apply into foundations and universities.

Are you a new aspiring artist trying your hand at creating artwork for the first time?
Or do you want to improve your skills with valuable advice on your practice perhaps in preparation for a course of study or to perfect your technique?
Contemporary art offers a wide range of possibilities and mediums.
Through over eleven years of studying and practicing Fine Arts, I have acquired a deep love and appreciation for traditional art techniques such as traditional technical painting and drawing, and mixed media sculpting but also enjoyed experimenting with uncountable numbers of other unconventional media integrating them with contemporary languages.
My course will help you improve your skills or learn from scratch how to get drawings, sculptures and paintings according to your goals.

I can offer regular feedback on the development of your artistic practice. I can also provide technical training, my specialty being painting. I will help you find your personal style, giving you the necessary space to achieve it, as it's important that it comes from you.

I will share with you all my knowledge on contemporary art and its norms, whether you wish to work with institutions, sell paintings, or collaborate with other artists.

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.

- I study interior design at university. I have experience in drawing and painting as I received a 6 in GCSE and an A in A level Fine Art. Till to this day I continue to draw and paint whenever I have some free time.
- I will demonstrate the process of drawing and painting anything which the student want to learn. From realism to an impressionist style.
- I will make the student leave having better art creating knowledge

This painting lecture class offers an immersive experience for students eager to explore the world of art. Throughout the course, you’ll delve into various painting techniques, color theory, and the history of painting, providing them with a well-rounded understanding of the medium. The class will feature hands-on demonstrations, allowing you to practice what they learn in real-time.

One of the key benefits of this class is its focus on fostering creativity and self-expression. You will have the opportunity to experiment with different styles and materials, encouraging them to develop their unique artistic voice. Additionally, the class will include critiques and discussions, promoting a collaborative environment where you can learn from each other and receive constructive feedback.

By the end of the course, you will not only have improved their technical skills but also gained confidence in their artistic abilities. This class is a resourceful platform for aspiring artists, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in their creative endeavors.

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.

Art is a means of expression for the mind. Through art, we are able to start to realise our dreams, imaginations and visions.

During this class, you will be guided on how to develop ideas into tangible objects which then aids you in communicating your dreams, imaginations and visions. The class also empowers you to be daring in your approaches through inviting you to test media, approaches and techniques.

I’m a passionate artist with a background in architecture, specializing in teaching drawing, sketching, and painting. My lessons combine technical skills like perspective and composition with creative exploration, tailored to each student’s style and goals. I aim to inspire confidence and creativity, helping learners unlock their full artistic potential.

Being able to bring into existence a beautiful art piece the exact way you perceive it is an exceptional feat. I specialise in the realm of realism and surrealism - and I would like to help others do the same.

In my classes, you will learn the basics of sketching realistic features of people, animals and locations. Building realism through different mediums and techniques, regardless of what level you are in this class will help you reach your realism ideals. No previous experience required, these classes are for anyone with personal artistic goals.

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!
