About Nancy

I am a figurative artist with a foundation in classical drawing and painting, offering tuition in Drawing Fundamentals and Portraiture using dry mediums such as graphite, charcoal, and pastels.

Passionate about preserving this timeless craft, I am dedicated to teaching the essential principles that are often no longer emphasized in many contemporary art programs. My teaching approach is empathetic and supportive. I guide each student with patience, clarity, and encouragement. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing their growth, confidence, and artistic achievements.

What we can explore together:

- Mastering the foundations of drawing and painting: line, value, gesture, and perspective
- Bargue copy studies in graphite and charcoal to strengthen your understanding of classical fundamentals
- Portrait and figure drawing in graphite, charcoal, sanguine, and soft pastels
- Focused exercises to deepen your understanding of line, value, form, light, and shadow

Who Are the Lessons For?

Whether you are a complete beginner looking to learn the fundamentals, or an advanced artist hoping to refine and strengthen your technique, lessons are tailored to your level and personal artistic direction.

Lesson Format
- Online or in person (depending on location)
- Private sessions for personalized, one-to-one guidance
- Group classes available—group rates to be discussed based on size and duration

Materials
Materials are not supplied; however, I provide a recommended materials list tailored to the level and medium of each student.

Introductory Conversation
A free introductory conversation is offered to discuss your current skill level, your goals, and how we can structure a plan to help you achieve them.

Languages:
To make learning more accessible and enjoyable, I teach in English, Spanish, French, and Italian, and I am always happy to help you practise your language skills as part of our lessons.

Structure & Policy:
Lessons are structured to support consistent progress. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies to rescheduling or canceling booked sessions.

NOTE: I do not teach acrylics nor watercolors.

About the lesson

Master the Timeless Techniques of the Old Masters!

I will guide you through the secrets of creating beautiful artwork that you’ll be proud of—all from the comfort of your home.

Our lessons will begin with a conversation about your artistic goals. I will then have you complete a drawing of your choice to assess your current level. From there, I’ll design a personalized plan to help you progress and achieve your ambitions.

While I don’t provide materials, I will give you a detailed list of supplies to purchase.

Whether you're preparing for an exam, looking to refine your skills, or simply want to enjoy the art of drawing and painting, I will tailor the lessons to meet your needs.

I am fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, so I can adapt my teaching to your preferred language.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’ll be happy to assist you.

Walk the path of the Old Masters with me!

My daughter had the opportunity to have Nancy help her with her drawing and I must say that since then my daughter has become so passionate about it. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone as she is really a wonderful teacher, patient, she puts a lot of dedication into what she does, plus she is super nice and very reliable.
Thank you Nancy for a great job.
