Life Is Art In Motion And Vice Versa

Life Is Art In Motion And Vice Versa

Serves Oakland, CA & Online
The one thing I have learned about creative arts expression is that it is best when it captures the movement. One thing, the best thing I learned early on, is that life, and life expression is art and that is dynamic. Consider art in motion, like a really good action shot whether it be in sports or editorial or journalistic photography or illustration. Its moving both physically AND emotionally. It moves. And it moves you. I consider t2ge work I do a process of expression in relationship with Creativity in general-the process is bigger than myself. It's not all about an end goal or product but often includes a product. I find that when produc...

Shawn C. says, "Dear Prabin, Here is my recommendation: I met Prabin years ago during Toastmasters in Emeryville. We both were working on improving our speech capabilities. I saw Prabin go from very beginner level speech to knock your socks off speaker that won a round of applause for best speech on a first-time business trip to India. At Toastmasters, he gave several speeches on art and art history that are on youtube. He sparked my interest in trying art, so I took one of his plein air courses at 4th Street Fine Art. Since he goes regularly to figure drawing, his level of painting is at the master level. He took our small class out to the Berkeley Marina to paint outdoors. First, he carefully scouted the best area for composition and light and then walked the students through the process of painting in oils. I was very happy with the results of the class and still paint to this day. Thanks to Prabin. Cheers, Shawn Carter" Read more

You can find me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/drawjuice/ for samples of my work. I teach artists important foundational drawing and painting skills, visual problem solving, identifying obstacles and strategies for breaking through them, time management and professional business practices. I have been drawing for 40 years and a working professional artist for 25 years in animation, games, TV, film and education. I get a thrill out of helping others to dream and move beyond what they thought they could achieve as artists by sharing my personal life experience and professional best practices I have learned along the way as an animato...

Alfredo is a super mentor. He starts with basics but if you have experience he will go where you want. He works on a painting simultaneously with you. Color theory, Values, etc. Well worth it.

Xenia has been an EXCELLENT art teacher for our child. She has worked with him in developing a variety of artistic skills, and most importantly, encouraged his love of art and his confidence in making art. She is responsive, responsible, punctual, and effective. We think she is just great!
