Mladen is a nice teacher, very patience and agreable. We were me and my daughter and was not that easy but he has motivation and a sympa way
In this course you will learn the practice and theory of drawing and painting. It covers shapes, forms, visual elements, value, and colour theory. You will apply this knowledge to exercises in still life, landscape, figure drawing, and portraiture. Any medium you wish to explore is welcome and materials will be provided. The course will be tailored to your preferred pace and level, although it will follow the basic structure provided above.
Unlike my other more structured classes, this one is aimed at people who simply wish to have a space in which to engage in visual art in a very free way. My knowledge, experience, and critiques are of course available, but the point of the course is to experiment with techniques and create without judgement, restriction, or direction.

Learn drawing and painting in a fun and practical way! (For any skill level)
I'm teaching practical techniques to greatly improve your art and also the creativity boost methods you'll need to develop original ideas.

We'll design classes together based on your needs. All skill levels are welcome and will benefit from this lessons.

Performance Art (and Performance Studies)
The class is meant for those who wish to enter the world of performance art - an experimental art form that originated in the 1960s in the United States. My intention with the lessons is to teach a student how to begin an independent artistic practice as a performance artist through practical exercises, readings, and analysis of performances (on photos, video and in events we would visit together). The basic theory and history of performance art are introduced so the student can get oriented in the respective art context. If desired, the class can go deeper in theory with the readings from the related field of Performance Studies. While performance ART is an artistic field, performance STUDIES is wider academic discipline working with the notion of performance not only in art but also in the sports, rituals, play, every day, sex, technology, business and elsewhere. I base the class on my years-long artistic, theoretical and curatorial practices and on my education in the field (BA in Site-Specific Performance, ongoing MA in Live Art and Performance Studies, BA in General Art Studies).

The Fundamentals of Drawing - Suitable for all levels
Whether you're picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to drawing after a break, this class is designed to build a strong foundation in visual expression. Through hands-on exercises and guided practice, we’ll explore essential techniques such as line, shape, shading, perspective, and proportion. You’ll learn how to observe like an artist and translate what you see onto the page with confidence. Each session will focus on a different aspect of drawing, helping you develop both technical skills and creative thinking. From still lifes to gesture sketches, expect to grow your understanding of form and composition in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. No prior experience necessary—just bring your curiosity and something to draw with!

Theater / Declamation / Text work / Preparation for ESA competitions / Public speaking
Actress graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and Professor responsible for TFE at the same Conservatory for 3 years now, I am passionate about my job. I have given workshops to children in theaters and am currently giving them to a particular audience as part of art therapy. When I'm not playing in the theater (Théâtre Royal des Galeries, Théâtre Royal du Parc, Templerie des Hiboux, Rideau de Bruxelles, Théâtre Jean-Vilar LLN...), I like to transmit my passion. I would be delighted to help you prepare for entrance exams to the Higher Schools of Dramatic Art (ESA), public speaking or simply work on texts for fun. I give drama lessons for individuals, in companies or in establishments. If you want to take competitive exams, I adapt to the request: we can work on free scenes and courses for ESA entrance exams, think together about an adapted program aimed at highlighting your personality and your particularities. I can also help if you have difficulty speaking in public. We can also work on texts for pleasure and love of the language. Being also a singer, musician, and dancer, I can help you and train you in a multidisciplinary way.

From creative writing to creating artwork - a class by an academic artist and researcher
Have you ever wondered how to create artwork? What are the inspiration sources and processes that lead to thinking, sketching, and developing ideas for a visual work? How to understand your own thoughts and express them in a creative way, through writing and/or drawing? This course will provide you with this knowledge and practice! With this course, under the guidance of an experienced academic artist and researcher, you will develop theoretical, but, most of all, practical skills and tools for creating your own artwork: from a thought to a visual result. The focus of this course is on creative writing exercises and artistic methods such as drawing, aquarelle, collage, photography, video art, and other multimedia. This will allow you to better understand practices of contemporary art and to participate from your own home. We will create beautiful texts and poems, expressive sketches and creative maps, illustrative paintings, and photos. The classes are tailored based on the student's needs and wishes, which means different creative exercises. After creative writing, when we reach the visual process, the introduction and guidance for the practical skill of the desired medium will be offered. This class is offered to anyone, no matter the level they have. As an artist with traditional art education, and contemporary art research degree, I believe I can help you regardless if it's for your own practice and interests, or if it's for an academic guidance.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Online Resin and Texture Art classes. From beginner to Pro approach.
I am an experienced texture art tutor, specializing in resin, acrylic colors, acrylic paste, and white cement techniques. Over the years, I have successfully trained students of different skill levels, helping them refine their artistic abilities and develop their unique styles. My work has been well-received in the art community, and I have conducted numerous workshops focused on creative expression through texture and resin art. My approach is interactive and hands-on, ensuring that students get a practical learning experience rather than just theoretical knowledge. I believe in personalized guidance, where each student’s artistic journey is nurtured. Whether in 1-on-1 sessions or group classes, I encourage active participation, providing clear demonstrations and detailed feedback to help students master resin and texture art techniques with confidence. I conduct online classes via Zoom or other platforms, ensuring a highly interactive and engaging learning experience. My teaching style focuses on two-way communication, where students can freely ask questions and receive real-time feedback. Depending on students' preferences and time zones, I offer both 1-on-1 and group sessions to cater to different learning needs. While resin and texture art are open to all learners, I recommend my classes for adults aged 18+ due to the use of chemicals and materials that may not be suitable for children.

Drawing & Sketching From basics to advanced, Watercolor Painting: Techniques from washes and gradients to textures and layering
Hi, I’m Raji — an artist at heart and a passionate artist who believes that true expression begins with our own two hands. I am an architect and studying my master's in landscape architecture at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. From the time I could hold a pencil, art has been my language — a way to observe the world, to feel, and to create. I’ve always felt that painting on paper, with brushes and watercolors, holds a kind of magic that screens simply can’t replicate. It’s raw, mindful, and deeply human. I specialize in watercolor techniques, sketching, composition, and creative exploration — helping students of all ages unlock their imagination and connect with their inner artist.

Portfolio reviews for applications and exhibitions
Remember the goal - you want to make good art. A good critique will give you new insight, new direction, career advice and energy to do this! Where am I going with this? Too much or not enough? Learn to define your position, your place and your market. I will offer perspective on your strengths and constructive feedback on what needs to be improved. There are ways to inspire what is working and how to improve your weaker points that builds confidence, technique and style. Editing is key - colour, form, aesthetic, emotion, influence and pace. I can help you understand exciting trends in Contemporary Art and that relevance to Art History. I will provide you with the resources to dig deeper and show you your next steps. At the end of the critique you will feel equipped and excited to get to work. Recommended booking - 3 classes including introduction, follow up and final presentation.

Art history lessons by an art teacher, at any level, online or in Velp.
Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts. I teach art history to anyone who wants to, regardless of age or level, online or at my home in Velp. You can learn about, among other things, the visual arts, music and literature from prehistory to the present. You can work towards an exam/test/training or just learn out of interest. Whether it concerns Michelangelo's David or the graffiti on the walls of Dubai, I'll be happy to tell you about it. Anything is possible. I am trained as a musician/writer and am a second-degree teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have been teaching art history, music history, creative writing and other subjects at the senior level of a small secondary school for a number of years, where I am also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various schools in secondary and higher education. I have a lot of experience with innovative education and one-on-one teaching. If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us. In addition to art history, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, creative writing, mathematics and physics.

Icon painting with egg tempera, individual classes, historical technique
Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 9 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the nimbs. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic language
I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London. Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don't always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you! Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs. The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language. (Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.) Have questions? Don't hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)
