Private Art Classes

Private Art Classes

Learn to draw and paint, one on one

Give your child (or yourself!) the opportunity to explore creativity and build confidence through fun, hands-on art lessons. My private art lessons are designed for children and adults who want to learn new skills while enjoying the process of making art.

Students start by learning the foundations of drawing: how to observe, sketch and shade using pencil to create realistic forms. Next, we move into colored pencil techniques, where students practice blending, layering and mixing colors to add depth and personality to their artwork.

As their skills grow, students explore acrylic painting and mixed media, combining materials and techniques to create expressive, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each lesson builds confidence, creativity and artistic skill in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
