Art Coaching in
Traditional Painting
Master the fundamentals. Elevate your technique.
Because one-to-one coaching is tailored to your skill & goals, our first meeting is an initial assessment to create a lesson plan tailored specifically for you. The following lessons on this page are examples of topics I often teach my students. The topics become more advanced the further you scroll.
In addition to the fundamentals, in teaching traditional painting I also cover brushwork, color mixing & theory, advanced techniques for different styles, and other professional practices of painting. If there's a topic you are interested in learning, simply reach out and inquire.
