Secaucus, NJ Drawing Lessons

Experimenting with materials in layers and mix. Emotional response to materials and of course, gesture. Movement and vision experiments with the materials. Pouring, splatting, seeing, not seeing, sprinkling, flinging. Careful and neat; messy and careless. The willingness to just go in and have the delight of image come back to you.

Would you like to learn to draw the world around you? Look no further! I am a professional, exhibiting visual artist and drawing is my passion! I have a Masters in Education and have been teaching for over 10 years. I have experience with adults and children alike and absolute beginners are welcome. I will design a personalized curriculum to fit your needs. I will show you how to train your hand to work with your eyes, how to draw light and shadow, perspective, contours, how to use your materials, and much much more!

I can teach you the art of realism and how to draw from pictures~

I am a classically trained artist and I teach traditional methods of representational drawing. I’ve taught at several local ateliers as well as internationally through the State Department’s Art In The Embassies program. I can help you learn about perspective, line, volume, and composition in an a way that is easy to understand. My teaching style is rich with experience and information but also very low key and unintimidating. Also— I’m really fun! Come draw with me!

As my student you will gain an intimate understanding of drawing techniques and mediums. We'll study construction, measuring, perspective, shading and medium selection. We'll work i the traditional pencil, but we'll also look at pastels, charcoal and ink.

Well equipped to teach any age/level with experience teaching in studio and a BFA degree in Illustration from Pratt Institute. As a working artist, I can share my unique relationship with visual learning and interpretation with the student.

I have been teaching professionally for more than 10 years. I can teach a total beginner and I guarantee a profound change in terms of his skill level after 2 months of an attentive following of my instructions. I like to watch the progress of my student and this is what brings me the best satisfaction in my occupation.
I think that every human being is unique with his own unique way of thinking and perception of common things. When teaching, I believe in dialogue, for this reason, I never record my lessons on video, except for the promotional needs. I like to meet new students, to understand their way of thinking and to invent the individual teaching approach or methodology for each one of them.

Experienced teacher for 10 years and life-long artist. Learn to draw how and what you want. I'll help you set and reach goals for enhancing your artistic gifts and talents. Learning the process of art-making has endless benefits. Reach out to see if I'm the right teacher for you.

My favorite materials for art making are those that are environmentally friendly. I enjoy creating my own pigments with natural materials, and work both from observation and intuition. When I'm not drawing or painting I am practicing yoga, cooking, gardening, amongst other inspirational activities!

I look forward to helping you access the vast benefits of learning visual arts and drawing!

I am an accomplished painter, illustrator, and graphic designer, specializing in figurative art. I have been teaching art classes since 1984 , at elementary, college and adult levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced. I am also an instructor at Art e Vino studio, a paint 'n sip, which is where I engage customers in the fun of art-making!
I feel that my combined artistic skills and ability to have fun will make for a unique learning experience, with solid results as a goal.

I have a wide range of artistic interests and skills in both traditional and non-traditional media.
I keep my skills sharp by working indoors from life, outdoors from nature, copying old master and Impressionist paintings at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I am featured in a recent book, Museum: Behind the Scenes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Danny Danziger.

Drawing is a skill that is developed over time. Like any muscle you need to work out and practice regularly. Through guided prompts and material exploration students will build their drawing skills while exploring personal creative voice and creating a personal visual language.
