I’m seeking a patient, experienced art tutor to help me develop skills in painting and mixed media. The ideal person can assess my current level, propose a structured 6-8 week plan, and provide gentle guidance on composition, color theory, and technique. I’m aiming for weekly 1.5 to 2 hour sessions, with flexible days. Preferences: a calm, encouraging teaching style, access to basic materials, and ability to tailor guidance for beginners with some prior experience in drawing. Location is in the local area, and I’d appreciate in-person sessions with safe, COVID-conscious practices; online sessions could be considered if necessary.
