Female teacher for art, design, illustration, painting and fashion or portfolio help.

Methodology

I'm a professional costumier who works in film, television, theatre and fashion. I've worked in departments with the BBC, Channel 4 online, Sky, ITV, Chanel and Christian Dior. I also sell portrait paintings and have had funding from the Arts Council England to develop my practice as an artist.

I offer lessons in the following:
- drawing
- sewing
- textiles
- painting
- illustration

Students can be beginners of those looking to refine or retouch on skills they already have.

Lessons will be structured around the short and long-term goals of the student. We will break these aims down into to stages, focusing on a different aspect each week with homework for the following week. The lesson will start with examples and discussion about the topic, then we will do warm up drills to build confidence and speed, followed by a longer session of practice and ending with a review of the students work from the session.

I also offer advice of university and creative job applications and portfolios.

Experience

I gave my first workshop two years ago and am currently a life drawing class tutor as well as a freelance costumier and artist.

I have taught groups of over thirty at workshops and individuals who are seeking to learn the basics or build confidence.
