Private One to One Art Lessons: Drawing, Painting, Photo, Portfolio Development

These one to one private art lessons allow each learner to explore the art media of their choice. Learners can focus on drawing or painting or both. I will nurture their individual creativity and artistic growth, as I teach them various art techniques. I have experience teaching private art lessons to students ages 8 to 18. I love teaching one to one art lessons and seeing the artistic growth and creative exploration of each individual. 

In these private lessons we can also discuss and choose what subject the learner is interested in drawing and painting from. These can include for example various animals, birds, any nature, plants, landscapes, still life’s, and magical fantasy creatures. We can also explore patterns and color along with color theory. The learner is welcome to explore more then one medium or subject over time in weekly lessons as well. We can also explore realistic to more expressive and abstract styles of painting or drawing. 

I teach watercolor painting, gouache painting, colored pencil, watercolor pencil, and pencil drawing techniques. 

I also teach botanical illustration or nature journaling. I love encouraging learners to explore and create art from the natural world around them. 

Besides drawing and painting, I also teach private digital photography. I teach learners to explore different ways of taking photos including looking at color, composition, and photo styles using their mobile phones or iPads. 

I am passionate about working individually with each student to gently encourage them to explore and find their unique artistic voice with whatever art medium and subject they choose. Lessons are weekly and will go at the pace, level, and interest of the learner. Creativity, curiosity, and fun with art is always something I bring to my lessons. 

I teach by showing techniques with the art medium and subject the learner chooses. The learner can work alongside me and ask questions. I also am happy to bring examples of art from art history as part of the lessons. At the end of each class the learner will compete a finished piece of art. 

My individualized private art lessons are also great for learners interested in developing a portfolio for applying to art school.

Each class is individualized for the learners unique needs and interests. I will contact you so we can discuss students creative interests and needs before our first lesson. Learners can also share previous art with me so I can see what level they may be in their art and style. However if they are just beginners in an art medium we will start the art lessons from there. All art levels are welcome.

Please contact me for other possible times not listed here you are interested in for your learner. 

I’m excited to share the artistic journey with your learner!
