1-on-1 Digital Painting Tutoring: Light, Color and Texture

Private lessons for ages 11 to 16 who can draw digitally and want to paint. Learners study value, color and brushwork and paint a landscape, a still life and a portrait study.

Class Experience

The tutor paints alongside the learner and explains each decision: block in big shapes, check the values, then refine. The learner shares their canvas for feedback as they go. Between sessions they complete one small study to practice the week's idea.

How classes work

Each 45-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

  • Values First – Paint a simple object in three grays.

  • Light and Form – Add light, shadow and reflected light.

  • Color Temperature – Warm light, cool shadow.

  • Brushes and Edges – Mix soft and hard edges.

  • Landscape Block-In – Sky, ground and distance.

  • Landscape Finish – Detail, texture and focal point.

  • Still Life or Portrait Study – Apply the method to a new subject.

  • Review and Next Steps – Compare first and last paintings.
