I always paint along with my students and provide them with explanations and recommendations not only about painting techniques, but all tools, paper, canvas, brushes and specifics of paints we use.
In-person art class is the most beneficial way to learn painting. Unlike a tutorial, it gives you insight in many techniques, use of tools, brushes and painting surfaces. You use your own canvas, paper, brushes and paints to learn what they can do for you.
It is very beneficial to use pre-painted canvas for acrylic painting
For better painting, pre-paint canvas to prime it. One decent layer of grey or cardboard color paint has a few functions: it saturates canvas and provides with medium dark value which is very important for painting. To prime canvas, you can use leftover or low quality acrylic paint.
For watercolor painting, you will learn many essential aspects of this medium
You will learn how to prepare paper, transfer drawing, how to mix watercolor paints, what optimal water-pigment proportion is, washes, glazed washes, detailed parts, wet on wet and dry on wet techniques, correct use of brushes.
My art classes mean therapeutic, calming and nice atmosphere: meditation with line and color!

Hello. I am wondering if you have any classes for kids (11 almost 12) on weekends? I noticed that your weekday classes are for 13+. Also do you ever offer classes in drawing/sketching?
Thank you.
All group classes which I have are listed here. I only have acrylic art classes on Mondays for that age.
Also, if somebody has patience and is really interested, they can join any class.
I also have private classes, but weekends are really full and scheduled for my Masterclasses, other workshops and studio events.
