Art and interior design go hand in hand.
Artwork should seamlessly blend with the space while showcasing the client’s personality.
However, incorrect placement within the interior can result in an unbalanced space and diminish the artwork’s aesthetic appeal.
Let’s explore ways to enhance interior aesthetics.
My tutoring is dedicated to students who are already attending Art Schools or Universities.
I am specialised in supervision of student current work and projects in course, as well as revision of exams material. The goal is to boost students' capacities, teach them to optimise working time, coach them with methods of learning and to keep students constantly challenged.

Leana
Intermediate Drawing Course and Beginner Experienced StudentHello,
Being certified of the ECG in the Visual Arts section and having followed the majority of my schooling in this field, I wish to give drawing lessons to those who wish to improve in this field.
I offer courses of all kinds, according to the desires and the level of each one. I can teach you the techniques of sketching, observation and reporting in 2D and 3D, notions of perspectives, light and shadow, proportions like those of the human body, etc.
I want to give my lessons in a feeling of sharing knowledge acquired during my studies, moving away as far as possible from a school atmosphere. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to learn the specifics of drawing this way.
Of course, I am happy to adapt to the demands and expectations of my students.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.
Good day to you
Leana
