Private Art Lessons

How to see like an artist

Private, one-on-one instruction in relaxed guided sessions. We focus on classical observation, foundational skills, and finding your distinct visual voice without pretension.

The Method

Structured creative guidance

Lessons are tailored entirely to your goals. We begin with charcoal observation, moving systematically into color theory, pigment mixing, and oil application on linen. You will work with the exact archival materials used in my daily practice.

Each three-hour block is designed to build real technical confidence, stripping away academic pretension to focus purely on the relationship between your eye and the canvas.

Pricing

Two-hour art sessions are $100, tailored to your pace.

Session Length

Recommended lesson length is two hours but we can work out a length that suits you!

Cost

$50 per hour, no hidden fees.

Flexible Timing

Schedule sessions that fit your calendar.

"Kate is a wonderful teacher, more like a guide. I have been taking lessons from Kate for a couple of months. I never thought I would progress as quickly as I have. I still have a long way to go but I am very pleased. Kate explains the process and demonstrates the skills that I will be exposed to in that lesson. Then we draw side by side. It's like magic, before you know it, with a little coaching and guidance I’ve created something.

Sketching drawing is something that I have always wanted to do. I just never took the time to do it. I didn't know if I had any talent for it or not. Kate was very reassuring and she teaches me from where my skills and confidences are currently at. It's a joy to go to class. The lessons are tailored made for me and my level. I go every other week for two hours and practice in-between lesson."
