I offer private online painting and drawing lessons via Zoom for students of all levels, from complete beginners to more experienced artists. For students who live in New York City, occasional in-person meetings may also be arranged.
Having studied traditional drawing and painting techniques for many years, I believe that a strong foundation is essential. These skills provide the tools and confidence needed to pursue any artistic direction, whether realist, impressionist, or abstract.
One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching is seeing students grow from beginners into independent artists with their own unique voices. Over the years, I have had the privilege of guiding students who developed into accomplished realist and abstract painters, and I have witnessed remarkable progress through dedicated study and practice.
I have been painting for over 40 years and teaching for most of that time. The greatest satisfaction comes from sharing knowledge and experience accumulated over a lifetime and helping others discover and develop their artistic abilities. I work closely with each student, guiding them through every stage of creating a painting. We study composition, color, drawing, and technique; analyze the work of great artists; and learn through both discussion and hands-on demonstration. I often paint alongside my students, showing techniques step by step.
My artistic training began in St. Petersburg, Russia, at the Secondary Art School affiliated with the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts. I later continued my studies in the United States at The Cooper Union in New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Throughout my career, I have exhibited regularly in galleries and museums and have received numerous awards and honors.

First I'd like to see student's work to establish their level. Then we discuss student's ideas and goals. Depending on this, I either set up a still life or we learn how to paint nature, or we draw and sketch people, do portraits or we copy old masters. It is all very individual and my lessons are tailored specifically to each student.
I helped students to prepare art portfolios for for high school and college, helped college art majors to progress in their technique, older people to develop skills in their hobby. I also started after school program for kids, ages 10 and up.
It’s very important to find a teacher who had serious professional training, who is passionate about teaching. A teacher has to be able to do a demo and actually show a student how to make a drawing or a painting, not just talk him/her through the process.
One of my students challenged herself to draw a portrait of her school principal. She never did portraits before. Under my guidance she not only made a portrait that looked like her princpipal, but also gifted it to him. He liked it and hung in his office. The student was very proud of her accomplishment and it gave me a tremendous sense of fulfillment.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I think the student needs to inquire about a teacher's education and level of professionalism as an artist and as a teacher. Based on what a student is interested to learn, he might ask a teacher about his/her approach to teaching, advise on best medium to start with. It will greatly help the teacher to see samples of student's work in order to help with advise.

From basic shading to still life to understanding color, Nadia is a true artist who understands art and has helped me on my journey to painting realistic landscapes and portraits. Nadia is an exceptional professional who knows what she’s doing, and more importantly, knows how to explain this to her students!
I have been taking lessons with Nadia for some time now. I have learned to study forms in a whole new light, and am so inspired to keep drawing! Nadia is a wonderful teacher, who has really opened up the world of art for me. Thank you, Nadia!
Nadia is an amazing teacher! Very patient and thoughtful, who really knows her craft! I’ve already learned so much in just a few lessons. Highly recommend!
