Experienced tutor in Drawing in Scotts Valley, Natalia offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

A year ago, I knew almost nothing about painting, but I decided to learn something new during the quarantine. I was referred to Natalia from an area art club as someone who could help me find my own voice in art (I told them I was not interested in painting pine trees and mountains). Natalia looked at the few, very amateurish, pieces I had made and said that I was born an artist, but I had not learned many of the basic skills of painting. We started with basic composition and color. Now, one year later, I have the confidence of painting most anything that interests me. After learning the basic elements of art, and a bit of anatomy, I have found my voice in the abstract. I couldn't be more pleased that the time I spent at home, and the time I spent learning with Natalia, have given me a gift I never dreamed I would have.
