My approach is fun! I want my students to feel satisfied with the progress they make after just a few lessons. The aim is to learn and develop your technical skills. As I always say: 'You need to know the rules in order to break them!' But it does not stop here...

The classes are interactive, encouraging and inspiring, while maximising skills, and unravelling the mysteries of creative art making. I am flexible and greatly understanding with my teaching methods depending on the artist's level. The ideal lesson usually starts with drawing natural objects such as fruits, flowers, vessels like baskets/bowls or photographs of animals and slowly progress to still lives and the human figure including portraiture which is the most advanced. I can provide advice with writing creative material like essays, construction of a portfolio/exhibition, delivering professional talks and last but not least give market tricks to survive in the competitive industry.

I recommend at least 2 hours of teaching per lesson. I can go up to 3-5 hours if the artist is willing to work for longer.

Can't wait to work with you!
