The format of my lessons is flexible and can be adapted to your preferences. Whether you prefer a structured approach with specific topics or a more open-ended conversation, I can accommodate your learning style. We can have text-based conversations, where I provide detailed explanations and examples, or we can engage in voice or video chats for a more interactive experience.

The content of my lessons covers a wide range of art topics. To date, I have taught a broad-range of disciplines: Painting, Photography, Drawing, Sculpture/3D and New Media.
