Marcus Callum Callum

A highly skilled artist offering expertise in traditional painting techniques such as underpainting, layering, glazing, and chiaroscuro, as well as advanced figure and portrait drawing. I specialise in teaching portraiture, still lifes, landscapes, and abstract painting, tailoring lessons to the unique needs and goals of my students. My work has been recognised with multiple awards and exhibited internationally, reflecting years of dedication and experience in the art world.

Whether you're looking to master the human form, bring everyday objects to life, create captivating landscapes, or explore expressive abstraction, I can guide you in achieving your creative ambitions.

My lessons begin with an assessment of your current skills and areas for growth. I love breaking down even the trickiest techniques into simple steps, so they feel easy, fun, and rewarding. I provide clear, structured guidance through engaging discussions and references to relevant examples of art. I’m relaxed and easy-going in my approach but highly dedicated to helping my students master skills that are often hard to find or learn elsewhere.

Through practical exercises, constructive feedback, and a supportive environment, I help students develop their technical skills and artistic voice. Lessons also include discussions on essential artistic principles like composition, light, and colour theory, inspiring creativity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of art.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist looking to refine your craft, my lessons provide the tools, insights, and encouragement needed to reach your artistic potential, embrace your unique style, and achieve lasting progress in your artistic journey.
