Class Experience

***PLEASE NOTE*** This is an ONGOING PRIVATE lesson. Please verify the type of private lessons you are interested in, thank you!

***NOW ONLY $35!***

Enjoy premium digital art lessons, from the comfort of your own home, one-to-one, taught by award-winning artist, and photographer, Bryan Niven.  Mr. Niven’s high-demand classes are taught on the iPad or iPhone, using the insanely popular app, Procreate.  Mr. Niven specializes not only in teaching students art principles and techniques, but also in motivation. With nearly a thousand, five-star reviews, and decades of experience, in a wide range of mediums, and teaching environments, Mr.  Niven can give your child the confidence they need to take their art skills to the next level. Unlike in a group setting, private lessons allow for accelerated learning, through personalized  lesson plans, that cater specifically to your learner. Arrangements may be made to work with Mr. Niven on a custom -even ongoing- project, understanding that Mr. Niven must be comfortable with the subject matter, and reserves the right to recommend adjustments and/or alternative projects based on his expert, professional judgement. 

***SCHEDULING DISCLAIMER/MISSED-CLASS POLICY: Mr. Niven’s classes are in HIGH DEMAND, with his private teaching pool currently at around 40 students. With that in mind, if your child misses a class for ANY reason, including, but not limited to:  scheduling conflicts, forgetfulness, illness, emergency, or even preference, Mr. Niven will conveniently leave your student a PERSONAL class recording of the art lesson, (filmed at the appointed time of the class), that picks up right where things left off the previous week.  By removing the need for rescheduling, consideration and respect of time, (for parents, students, and teachers), are considered, and ultimately the student does not miss out on class. At the discretion of Mr. Niven, under special circumstances, when dates are known well in advance, Mr. Niven may be able to open up your students specific time slot, for other students, and essentially, “pause”, classes while you are gone. Please note that Mr. Niven reserves the right to cancel your subscription and open the class to the public, or cancel a class section entirely. In the event of one of or both of these actions, communication will be provided. In the event that Mr. Niven needs to cancel class, options for rescheduling, providing a class recording, or refund, will be offered.

Mr. Niven’s teaching style is fun and relaxed, yet motivating, which allows students to feel comfortable, and confident. Bryan builds on principles, techniques and processes, using real-world examples, from nearly 20 years in the professional art and photography industry. Mr. Niven motivates his students to use the knowledge gained in class, to create art on their own!

Other Details

Supply List
All students desiring to learn digital illustration/design will NEED to have Procreate for either iPad or iPhone installed on their device. Though NOT REQUIRED, it is HIGHLY recommended that students have the official Apple Pencil if they are using the iPad, so they have access to pressure sensitivity and tilt capabilities. Some specific brushes Mr. Niven offers have advanced rendering options through blending and smearing capabilities, such as with oil paint, or watercolor brushes etc. If using the iPhone, there are a few styli that support pressure sensitivity, BUT please contact Mr. Niven FIRST so he can help assist in your purchase or questions. Depending on the class need, additional digital brushes, papers, or templates etc, may be needed. Please let Mr. Niven know, AHEAD OF TIME, which of his classes, or what personal interests, you are wanting, so he can properly prepare himself to teach your child. If your child is wanting photography lessons, they will need a camera with advanced presets as a minimum, with manual exposure control recommend. Again, PLEASE let Mr. Niven know ahead of time so he can be prepared to teach. Thank you.
