Drawing Lessons in Hyde Park. Amazing Teachers.

I teach the fundamental basis for all representational drawing. From still life to portraits and the figure leading up to advanced genre or multi-figure pictures. I have been drawing and painting my whole life and love to teach drawing and painting to anyone who wants to learn. Visual communication skills are a foundation for many forms of problem solving skills. These skills all lead to a keen sense of awareness of ones self and environment.

I've been teaching art - drawing for 4+ years and my students have gone on to be successful at many different types of art. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to draw many different subjects freehand. Students must have access to the following tools available for your lessons: sketchbook, pencil set, eraser. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

It has been my pleasure to teach students of all ages how to draw for over 20 years. Whether you are a beginner wanting to know basics tools and techniques, or an advanced student who wants to take your drawing skills to the next level, I can help!

There aren't a lot of "art rules," but there are many guidelines, tools and tips that can help anyone become a more skilled artist. Some of those tips and tools help you choose the best materials for your project, and some of them help your brain translate what you see to the paper in front of you.

Prior to your first lesson I'll ask for at least one sample drawing (of anything) just to show me where you are. I also ask what you'd like to be able to draw at the end of our lessons, and those 2 pieces of information let me map out our course. For example, if you want to be able to draw people, but come to me only being able to draw stick figures, we would begin your lessons by 1) learning how to draw facial features and where to put ...

Become the artist you always wanted to be! Whether you are an aspiring artist, a total beginner, a kid who loves art, a teen building a competitive portfolio, or someone who's always wanted to learn to draw, I will help you develop your technical skills and find your voice as an artist! In our lessons, you will draw from life, exploring composition, concept, and mood through creative assignments. You will train your eye as you draw still lifes, landscapes, portraits, figures, and beyond! I will show you examples of historical and contemporary drawing as we practice a range of techniques. You will gain confidence through practice and experimentation as you work towards developing your own style as an artist! And most importantly, you’ll have fun! I can’t wait to work with you!

I have been drawing my whole life and teaching drawing since 2012.
I have studied Visual Arts at SUNY New Paltz and have focused predominantly on drawing, painting and sculpture.

I can teach both realistic and expressive drawing, composition, and how to create successful drawings, whatever your goals may be.

Many people think they can't draw. I used to be one of them. Now, I know that everyone can draw, they just need to learn how to translate what they see into an image. We will start with contour, move into gesture, create the illusion of 3D form using value and color, composition and even create the illusion of space. We will use a variety of media including graphite, charcoal, pastels (oil and chalk) and even use paint. It's really lots of fun!
