Private Art Tutoring in Isometric, 1-Point and 2-Point Perspective
Class experience
This is a one-on-one art tutoring class to share tips and tricks to improve your perspective drawing skills. Before class, let’s chat in the classroom about where we should start. Everybody starts somewhere and everybody learns at their own pace, so I’ll meet you wherever you are as an artist. Here’s how I plan to break down learner progress and milestones, but you might stay on one level for a few weeks, or zip through a few levels in one lesson. Who knows? - Level 1: Isometric...
This is an individually tailored tutoring session. All I want is for you to feel like your confidence has improved in Perspective Drawing, as outlined by the 10 levels listed above.
I'm a scenic artist, set designer, technical drafter, educator, and illustrator with 20+ years of professional experience. I paint Broadway backdrops in my day job, and I am a published author/illustrator who makes art with watercolor and Procreate, plus some other things. The cover art for this class is a sketch I made while designing scenery for the band Wilco. See my recent art at www.valerielightillustration.com and my past scenic art, business, and design work at www.valerielight.com.
Homework Offered
If you want to sign up for multiple lessons and really study up, I’m happy to provide ideas for what to practice drawing in your sketchbook between lessons. If you’re working on an application, portfolio, or contest submission, I’d love to help you plan a piece that will show off your skills and wow your viewers.Assessments Offered
Verbal self-assessment. Do you understand more about this topic than you did at the start of the lesson? I'll know you've got it when you can explain it back to me.Grades Offered
Things you’ll need: Several sheets of white paper. 11x17 is a great size if you have it. Masking tape: We’ll tape our paper down, and maybe also tape your ruler to the table. A straightedge, like a yardstick, T-Square, or ruler that’s at least as long as your paper. A 30/60/90 drawing triangle, 8 or 10 inches tall Graphite pencils, traditional or mechanical, but keep them sharp! Good erasers. Big ones. We’ll make lots of mistakes. For Level 6 and up, you’ll also need an adjustable triangle, and bigger paper and rulers. Please be ready with your paper and pencils and other tools. It would be great if you have a desk lamp to shine on your paper so I can clearly see it. You'll need to run the Outschool zoom with a phone on a stand. You can purchase one, or get creative and make a contraption from a box, jar, or cake stand that points the camera straight down at your iPad on the table in front of you. You'll probably need to have the phone screen right under your chin. That lets you see what I'm demoing on my paper at the same time I can see what you're drawing on yours. It's a bit awkward but it works.

I'm Valerie, and I'm a lifelong freelance artist and entrepreneur. Teaching and mentoring is so fun for me because I like figuring out how to make things and explaining how they work. I love seeing what you figure out, too! I'm a 2004 BFA...
