My art classes are held at Reduta Cultural Centre Brasov once a week in sessions of one hour and a half. These art classes are suitable for either begginers or advanced students, individual assistance depending on each student's abilities and experience being offered.

Generally is not known that all great artists learned drawing and painting by practicing for several years the study from observation. We only assume that someone can draw or not. But the ability to draw or paint comes from a lot of practice and repetition. When we learn to draw we shouldn't worry about mistakes, and should not always aim for completed or "successful" drawings . Learning drawing and painting should be practiced like studying a musical instrument, we must devote a lot of time before we expect results. Courses start from the simplest geometric studies in pencil for learning the correct representation of shapes, contour and proportions. We'll pass to charcoal to learn the impact of light on objects and tonal values. Introducing colour theory will make a gradual transition to painting. Study from observation is central, but some studies from photographic references, or the study of different techniques of the great masters will also be included.
I had the chance to meet the greatest living Australian portraitist Robert Hannaford who guided me and supported me. I also had the opportunity and privilege to study drawing with Christopher Orchard, a genius of Australian art, who instilled in me his passion for drawing. My teaching method belongs to this great Australian professor and to Adelaide Central School of Art, and is different from many art schools through the individual attention and assistance given to each student.
