Join me as I teach your child how to draw and color their favorite Disney ENCANTO characters: Mirabel, Isabella, Antonio, Deloris, Camilo, Louisa, and many more! After learning to draw the character, your child is encouraged to sing along while they color the picture they drew. (PLEASE NOTE: depending on the skill level of this class, the class may last longer than 45 minutes, but not longer than 55 minutes. I want to make sure each child gets enough time to finish and not feel rushed.) (IMPORTANT UPDATE: The class used to be taught with me holding a camera and watching my actual hands drawing and coloring. However, my hands would get in the way and I could not zoom into the drawing to show the student each small step. The student would also not be able to see my face as the camera was focused on my hands at work. Therefore, I have decided to have my face shown in one camera and the other will be from my iPad. The iPad will allow me to do each step without my hands being in the way of the camera. I will also be able to zoom into the smaller parts of the drawing so each student will be able to see and understand each step. It is my goal that the student is successful and proud of their work in my class. Please feel free to personally email me any suggestions you may have to make the class better.) Having taught art for 12 years, I am happy to teach children how to draw and I love to see the smile of self confidence and accomplishment from the learner as the feel like they have achieved something that they thought was impossible. In my class you will find that different levels of students come together and learn how to support each other in their goal to learn how to be better at drawing and coloring. Each class I teach how to draw a new character, but I also give tips on how to be a better artist and the techniques only accomplished artist know. A typical 40 minute class goes like this: 2 minutes - introduction 3 minutes - talk about the character of the week and gather your art supplies. 20 minutes - draw with a pencil and eraser. 12 minutes - color your drawing. 3 minutes - show everyone your drawing and goodbyes. ——————- Class schedule:

Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from The University of Tampa
Hey there! I’m Billy, your child’s creative adventure buddy! Every week, I work to create a fun and supportive space where your child can look forward to learning and growing. I make sure each class is an exciting, safe environment where they can express themselves, make new friends, and build confidence through art.
For over 12 years, I’ve traveled the globe, soaking up vibrant cultures and creative experiences. I’m currently living in Egypt, where I’ve been for 7 years, teaching and inspiring young minds from all over the world.
With 30+ years of experience as an actor, singer, director, and choreographer, I’ve had the chance to teach the kids of movie stars! But my heart belongs to helping kids express themselves through drawing.
I’ve had the privilege of studying animation and storytelling with some of the best in the business—Disney, Nickelodeon, and DreamWorks. Through internships and collaborations, I’ve learned the magic of creating characters, telling stories, and designing visually compelling art, and I bring those lessons into my classes, helping students unlock their own creativity.
I’ve proudly taught on Outschool for over 4 years, and I’m honored to be recognized as a top teaching contributor. My classes blend artistic skills with storytelling, turning each lesson into an adventure. My students have gone on to shine on Broadway, star in TV shows, and become amazing artists themselves!
I hold a Bachelor’s in Performing Arts/Dance and a Master’s in Education. My teaching philosophy? Spark imagination, make learning fun, and encourage kids to grow in confidence and creativity.
I’m so proud of my students and can’t wait to bring that same energy to your child’s creative journey! Let’s explore the world of art together as part of the OUTSCHOOL family!
