When I teach classes, I focus on working with each student individually, tailoring the lessons to fit their personal interests and goals. I offer structured frameworks that you can choose from, like “Figure in Interior,” where we explore specific themes together in a one-on-one setting. However, the beauty of my approach is its flexibility—you can select what resonates with you from the examples I provide, or we can have a conversation to create something entirely custom, just for you. Whether you follow a pre-designed framework or pursue your own unique path, the experience will be personalized and focused on your creative journey.
I currently have space available for just two more students!

Beginning Oil Painting
In this series of 8 lessons I work with students individually to get acquainted with oil paint. You’ll begin with the basics and progress towards creating a painting based on subject matter of your own choosing. This is a very good way for those with no experience with oil paint to understand the basics of oil painting . From simple forms, to color theory, blending, and creating a final work of your own choosing. You’re sure to learn a lot and go home with something you’re proud of by the end!
Times for this course can be agreed upon between myself and the student, and I teach both during the day, weekends, and some evenings. Contact me directly HERE to learn more and get the conversation started about what you wish to achieve with oil paint!
Price is 800Kc for 90 minutes of individual tutoring in oil painting.
