I offer a brief consultation either via video call or through messages prior to paid lesson - this way we can make sure I cover all areas that you need! I use a combination of teaching and critiquing to both expand your knowledge and correct technique.

Beginner art includes -
Choosing the medium that's right for you
Picking your topic/theme
Using reference images to learn the building blocks
Grid method vs freehand

Intermediate art includes -
Discussion of what you'd like to work on. Knowing where you are struggling or where you'd like to improve is beneficial!
Small daily exercises for fast improvement
A large 'final' project to piece together your skills

GCSE and A Level art includes -
Reviewing your syllabus
Presenting your sketchbook in a way that is thematic and unique, to really stand out from the class!
Choosing the right artists for your study, picking out the key elements and then practicing them
Basic theory and additional research
Writing descriptions and evaluations in a way that will really hit the mark
Improving technical skills or learning new ones as needed

All courses are tailored to your specific needs - no matter if you want a couple of quick lessons just to advise on a portfolio or a long course to guide you from start to finish!
