Newington, VA Drawing Lessons

From very basic drawing skills like drawing a 3d box to more advanced shading and technical skills. Any subject and basic perspective.

My students can expect to learn how to draw portraits, landscapes, and still life compositions to develop their drawing skills using drawing tools such as a viewfinder, grid, photos, and still life items. The drawing techniques will consist of light and shadow, gesture drawing, negative and positive space. For in home art lessons, all art supplies are included in the price.

Drawing involves training the eye to see basic lines, shapes, textures, and values while looking at an image . Everyone can train their eyes to see and draw! You will learn the process of simplifying an image while coordinating your eye and hand movement on paper. Depending on your artistic preference the drawing(s) can range from a sketch to a detailed rendering. Skills you will learn are:

Process of drawing
Composition
Value
Texture
Space
Shading and understanding pencil types

Depending on your preference and experience, I can teach you drawing methods for pencil, charcoal, color pencil, soft pastel, or oil pastel. We can focus on drawing the subject matter of your choice: wildlife, portraiture, landscapes, or abstract. I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you want to learn the basics of art? How about how to use watercolors to enhance your drawings? Or would you like to learn how to market your art online? Well, I may be the teacher for you! I am an Illustration graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I teach lessons to anyone who wants to perhaps dabble in the arts, to any artist who may want to learn how to further their artistic journey. I want my students to be submerged in the art world. I want to create a safe environment for any student to have fun and explore their inner artist.

I have been drawing since age 3, and competing artistically since age 6. My complete love and passion for art has helped me win many awards, and graduate with a fine arts degree with honors from the Academy of Art University. I would love to share all my experience with you! I believe anyone can learn to draw, and I can teach a wide variety, from surrealism to photo realism, including portraits! I have several years of teaching experience, and can teach any age bracket! Your lesson plan will be catered to your abilities and goals for the best experience.

Teaches students: Ages 5+

Hello! My name is Junyi, and I'm excited to see you!
Spreading the joy of drawing and painting has always been a great pleasure of mines. I offer art classes in traditional realistic painting and drawing techniques online. Students of all levels are welcome.

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.

First, I find out what are the interests of my students. Do they want to draw people, fashion, sports, or nature? Then, once they choose a subject we find the reference either from a photo, online, outside etc... Then I will teach my student some of the basic skills of drawing. Finally we are off and running. The student can then draw the subject of their choice and I will coach them all the way. I usually will draw either next to them or online so that I can show them different techniques in drawing and shading as they go.

I have a silly friendly, easygoing personality that makes every lesson enjoyable, so you're not just learning a new skill every lesson, you're having fun with it too.

My approach to teaching will always be towards the comfort of the individual. Everyone learns differently, so I adapt to others to make learning easier for them; To their thinking, to their preferences. You're not learning at the pace I set, you're learning to yours. This is why I like to work with students one on one.

People tell me I'm easy to talk to, open minded, and approachable.

I learn my crafts in inside and out, and then I break it down into simple, easy to understand terms and metaphors anyone can get. When you just want someone to give it to you straight, or you'd like it "In English, please." I'm you guy. And If you'd like it straight from the text books, with larger concepts and more technical terms, I can supply that too. It all depends on what your needs are, and how to meet them.
