About this pro
I am a full time fine artist and an inspiring teacher. My paintings are award-winning pieces and I am willing to teach you how to paint portraits, figure, landscape, or still life. My style is a combination of Russian and American art schools.
I have a lot of experience teaching people from all kinds of backgrounds and skill sets. In the end, I enjoy what I do and happy to help you to either get into art school or jsut get better in doing what you love - creating art!
Definitely the learning process and finding something new - both for teacher and student.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If the student is a child, I ask him to first describe himself via drawing. The working process is full of games and fun experience, though we are still covering the basic fundamentals of the fine art realm. If the student is an adolescent or an adult, I also have a talk about art history while we are learning the fundamentals of drawing, painting, or digital.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from the Children's Art School in Russia. Had a privelege to work with children and adults in an art tudio in Moscow.
