About Mariana Z.
Close
Want to learn how to draw and paint and you don't know where to start? Interested in improving your drawing skills? I will help you to train your eye to easily see shadows/light transition to create shapes and volumes. You will master useful drawing and painting techniques that will allow you to express your vision. I'm working with graphite, charcoal, pen and ink wash for drawing and oil materials for painting. Shoot me a message to see if we're a good match!
About Mariana
I am a professional artist. I've been studying representative fine art at the Art Students League of New York since 2013.
My students can expect to improve week to week in their drawing and painting techniques. While gaining knowledge of the fundamental principles of perception—light, plane-structure, tonal value, perspective, proportion—students will learn to construct images that realistically and accurately interpret objects in space. This solid foundation will enable students to express their personal creative vocabulary more clearly and effectively.
I teach students of all different ages and experience levels.
My personal passion is realism in classical and contemporary art but I firmly believe that great technique is essential to any and every style. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better artist!

About David L.
Close
I’ve been teaching for a year and welcome students of all levels! My lessons are all about training your eye and mastering the foundational elements of art so you can draw anything from life our you imagine. I bring lots of practical techniques and old school methods introduced in a modern way that takes into account the interest of my students and keeps the learning fresh and fun.
At all of my lessons I introduce the works of an established modern or classical artist that either exemplifies the lesson of the day or is someone whose work or life story I think my student might find interesting. We don’t just learn how to draw or paint but also learn how to talk about art and make it more a part of your everyday life.
About David
I have a bachelors degree in printmaking and oil painting and spent some time in Florence, Italy studying painting and drawing through the high renaissance masters. Currently I draw and paint in my spare time. I love teaching art as a way to connect with other artist and creative people who like talking about and creating art.
Through introducing or reviewing the fundamental principles in art and applying those to the lessons and exercises I assign for after class hours, you’ll see yourself improve week after week and gain more confidence in your artistic ability. I create a custom syllabus for you to review and work in things you’d like to try, certain mediums or subject matter to make it more appealing to you.

Making art should be fun and restorative! There’s a reason all of Bob Ross’s trees and clouds were so happy! Often times my
students and I will have class in a park on a nice day or at museum.

About Roya M.

You will learn the foundation of drawing to advanced drawing in my class. I cover a variety of subject matter from still life to nature to figure drawing with charcoal, graphite, pastel, and ink.
About Roya
My name is Roya. I am a professional artist and educator. It would be my pleasure to teach you painting and drawing. Over the last 10 years, I have taught painting and drawing in universities and colleges. I have a M.F.A degree in painting and drawing. You will learn painting and drawing like a university's student in my studio. My teaching philosophy focuses on laying a strong foundation with technique and growing from that foundation towards theory and concept. I equip my students with strong technical skills that emphasize art elements, art composition, color theory, and a variety of mediums techniques. My goal at the beginning stage is to provide students with enough skills to begin making art that deserves critical discussion. I teach in my studio at my home, Richardson, TX 75082. Please send me a message if you have any other quest

About Amaya B.
Close
The lessons are based on what you want to learn. We will use a variety of materials including charcoal and pastels to learn the fundamentals of drawing.
We can begin with the very basics and go on from there. Ages 7+ welcome.
About Amaya
I am currently on hiatus as a Senior Visual Studies major at Temple University. I have experience as a TA in a Montessori school in Alexandria, VA. I have casually taught students for around three years. I want to find reasons to continue creating art while I am not in school and teaching is a great way to do that. Drawing is a skill with each lesson and practice that can be mastered like anything else. I love to see my students improve throughout our lessons. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

About Arielle C.
Close
I use colored pencils a lot. I've learned some cool techniques that I'd like to teach you while coloring a printed outline I created for the day. After our first lesson, you can decide what our next outline will be for coloring. All I require you to have before we begin are some colored pencils. I would suggest getting Pro Art colored pencils to start off with. They're inexpensive, and very reliable. I have the set of 50 for $20. Also, you'll need a printer to print the outline that we'll be coloring for the day.
About Arielle
I'm a carefree individual with lots of time to spare. I'm a stay-at-home wife, and I pet sit for friends. Drawing and painting is an important part of my life and I would love to share what I've learned.
