You need private lessons if…

You need more attention, and would rather have a one-on-one tailored approach. I offer personalized individual lessons tailored to the needs of each student. I teach young adults, ages 16 and up, and my students range from high-school and college-level, to working adults and retired individuals. I embrace life-long learning and focus on the fundamentals of drawing and painting. The courses I offer range from beginning drawing, portraiture, figure drawing, oil painting and watercolor.

I have a Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) degree from the University of Chicago, and have been teaching art to adults for over 15 years. My fee is $35 an hour. Most classes range from between 2 to 3 hours long.
