East Coast Art Studios is open to all levels to start classes with us at anytime during the year. We welcome creatives of all levels and interests. Learn in a collective, positive and  creative atmosphere under the guidance of the teacher while exploring individual artistic goals and interests in the mediums of Oil paint,watercolor and drawing. You will be taught by direct demonstration in a large French style atelier. You have your own easel and studio station with a large glass palette. Clients use these classes to gradually increase their knowledge in oil painting, watercolor and drawing techniques. You choose if you wish to study the classical or contemporary approach to portraiture, Landscape or the figure. Abstraction and expressionism is also taught in the studio and has its own specific programme for training. One may also wish to create a whole body of work for an exhibition or a professional portfolio to apply for art college. Students learn how to set up a palette, use brushes correctly, mix color and apply paint to create their work or learn numerous techniques in drawing. Intermediate and practicing artists have used these sessions to improve technique, develop a personal style, deepen understanding of color mixing, and sharpen their ability to identify color and technique in master and contemporary works and apply them to their practice. Many of our clients in Berlin studied with us on and off over 2 -3 years gradually developing their ability to a very high level.

Participants receive individual time with the teacher to ask questions, discuss ideas, and develop their techniques. All classes include ongoing live demonstrations from the teacher to highlight various techniques relevant to student's interests, be they contemporary or classical. Use the time to study the styles of artists such as Goya, Picasso, Sargent, Lucien Freud, Jenny Saville, Egon Schiele, Bauhaus, Francis Bacon, Diego Velazquez, Monet, Marlene Dumas and Peter Doig, or simply pursue your own style and work from images and drawings you bring to the studio. See client testimonials and examples of student work in our gallery.

Past students have used these classes to:
  • to study art, painting drawing at you own pace  in an open college timetable
  • Develop a portfolio for admission to art or design college or for professional purposes
  • Understand the flesh palette from the Venetian, French and Flemish schools of painting

  • Learn how to transform initial ideas into fully-realised drawings and paintings from sketch book to finished work.
  • Develop themes into a series of work for a gallery show or portfolio
  • Overcome creative blocks from the home studio or fear of simply doing art
