one on one private lessons
After 18 years of teaching, I have realized that some of the most valuable time with a student has happened with full focus on one student rather than in a classroom environment of many. It is because of this that I am now offering private one on one art lessons for a limited time. This is the best way to learn. These lessons are customizable according to the needs of the student and can range in topic and length.
one on one lessons are fully customizable and can include a range of topics such as:
Oil painting techniques
Charcoal techniques
Color mixing
Learning to see proper values
Methods of getting better proportion
Advanced techniques in texture
How to plan the size of a painting
How to gather photographic reference for your work
Lighting your model or scene
Working from a computer monitor
How to paint a nocturne, landscape, still life, large format portrait, portrait, etc.
How to create compelling compositions
How to use edges to guide your viewers eye
Direct painting method
Glazing painting method
How to sell your work outside of a gallery
How to find and join the gallery you want to be with
How to create original art that is authentic
Ways of staying inspired during painters block
How to stretch canvases
Framing
How to price your work
How to start and properly finish a painting
The list continues and is determined by the students needs
It is my personal goal in each lesson to discover what stage the student might be, either in a beginning stage or advanced, and help guide the student towards their desired artistic path.
Pricing structure is based on the amount of days the student would like to reserve. Days are based on an 8 hour session. These prices are based on lessons being held in my Brooklyn, NY studio. IF the student requests lessons in other locations, the price will be subject to change.
1 day - $1400
