Los Angeles Visual Arts Lessons for Adults

As experienced teacher of 10 years and professionally trained artist I teach wide variety art forms from abstract art to traditional painting and drawing. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs and goals of each student. I combine intuitive and academic approach to creative process what gives my studies best of both worlds. You will have certain freedom but at the same time receive specific and applicable skills. Not only you will be painting in no time but you will be building a strong foundation of art theory, various techniques, media, and more!
I teach watercolor, oil and acrylic and other mediums.

I can't really talk too much about how other teachers work, and also don't want to. But I know I have and always had many happy and successful students. From kids, adults, professionals, hobbyists to people who retired and finally have time to fulfill a life goal.

I make my lessons fun and let my students explore their creativity rather than adhere to strict teaching methods. I even create a dedicated playlist based on each student's preference and play it during each session.

My focus in on teaching kids and parents of my current students have reported a decrease in their child's anxiety level, specially during the pandemic. One of my students who claims to be sporty and was not initially interested about painting, asked her mom after our 3rd session if she could have class twice a week instead of once : )

With almost 9 years of experience as a professional wedding & portrait photographer, I can help new photographers learn how to operate their camera, and I can help seasoned photographers improve their portfolio and online presence.

Do you want to draw like Rembrandt? Do you want to be the next Van Gogh? Or maybe you want to be able to draw simple subject matter, like your family dog! Well, these are the online classes for you! My name is Timothy and I have been drawing for 30 years (pencil, pen & ink, colored pencil, and oil pastel). I enjoy sharing my art experience with others, no matter what age, no matter where you are beginning. I can begin with the simplest subject matter in drawing, like cartoons, and advance you into more advanced subject matter such as portraiture and drawing from life. My training is a balance of self taught instruction and my art teacher, John Gordon of newmasters.com, the designer of the Green Bay Packers logo!

As a professional artist and educator I will help you take your work to the next level! I specialize in teaching classical drawing methods, including both graphite and charcoal. We'll focus on the four keys to executing a successful drawing; proportional accuracy, structure, gesture, and value rendering. No matter whether you are a complete beginner or have some experience, we'll customize a structured plan to help you reach your goals.
