Class Experience

Due to popular demand, I have decided to make my private art tutoring available to students of Outschool. This exclusive option was previously only offered to college level and adult students. I specialize in providing private art tutoring for  students who are interested in pursuing a career in the arts.

The coaching you receive from me is top-of-the-line. I will teach you advanced drawing techniques, digital painting skills, and professional art practices to help you develop your artistic abilities to the fullest. My students have included art school graduates and industry professionals looking to further develop their skills.

❇️ Who Should Take This Course

- Middle and high school students who are eager to pursue an art career but are not sure how to get started
- Those who want to enter art contests or apply to art schools
- Recommend it only if the student has a lot of time (3-4 hours a week) to spend on the homework assignments to make the best use of the private lessons. 


❇️ Course Structure

- Weekly 40-minute private tutoring sessions with Mr. Chris, which will cover a wide range of topics and techniques for advanced drawing and digital painting skills.
- In each session, we will review and critique the student's previous week's homework assignments, followed by the introduction of a new demo or technique to learn.
