Barbara Joni

In my lessons, I focus on creating a personalised, hands-on approach to drawing, with each session tailored to your individual needs and goals. Whether you're working on a specific project, improving your technical skills, or learning new drawing techniques, my 1:1 sessions are designed to meet you where you are in your artistic journey.

Lesson Format:
Each lesson is flexible, but we typically begin by discussing your current challenges or objectives. I’ll then provide targeted guidance, demonstrate techniques, and offer practical exercises to help you develop your skills. Depending on your needs, we may focus on things like:
- Fundamentals (line work, perspective, shading, etc.)
- Advanced techniques (colour theory, textures, dynamic compositions)
- Specific media (pencil, charcoal, ink, etc.)
- Project-based learning (helping you with specific coursework or personal art projects)

I’ll also give you regular feedback on your progress and suggest exercises that will strengthen areas you’re working to improve.

Content and Dynamics:
I strive to make lessons engaging and adaptable to your interests. If you're working on a personal project or coursework, we’ll break it down step-by-step, ensuring you have the tools and techniques to succeed. If you're looking to build foundational skills, we’ll start with exercises to develop your understanding of structure, form, and shading, before progressing to more complex subjects.

Experience:
With years of experience as both an artist and educator, I have taught a wide range of students, from beginners to more advanced artists. I’ve worked in various mediums and styles, and I can help you find the right techniques for your preferred artistic expression. Whether you need help with a specific assignment or want to explore new approaches to drawing, I’m here to guide you.

Overall, my lessons are meant to be supportive and interactive, giving you the confidence and skills to reach your creative potential. Feel free to bring any questions, challenges, or projects you're working on—I’m here to help you grow as an artist!
