6 - Saturdays 18:00 To 20:00

The class takes a two-hour session with a 15-minute break in the middle (optional)
Art Classes can be shared by students working in drawing, oil painting, or soft pastels.

Teaching is individual. That means everyone follows the same basic system but at their own pace and with their choice of subject, be it portrait or anything else, including commission work.

 

Class Goals:

 

Learning the basic techniques on how to paint children's subjects takes approximately two months of weekly 2-hour sessions.

It takes the same in any medium, so if you want to learn pencil portrait drawing, it's 2 months, monochrome 2 months, and full-colour oil painting, 2 months.

So, your learning can take anywhere from two to six months, depending on which medium/s you want to learn and the pace at which you learn.

The course involves me painting or drawing a subject in front of you and showing you how to do it, step by step. Then you do about half of the next subject and I help with the difficult bits. For the third subject/portrait, you will try to do it all by yourself and I only make suggestions. Some people need more than three drawings/paintings, some less. But in any case after that period, you will know the basics. It depends on how much you practice afterward how good you get.
