Martina's Art Classes & Tips

Arts Training and Information since 1999
Picture Leaf Element

I have provided art classes and workshops since 1999. To help my students, I wrote many articles about drawing, painting and art business. Opportunities filled the many years of my career with blessings to create or be part of a diverseness of major art projects and art corporations over the years.  ​


Apart from two weekly morning classes for all media, and the occasional workshop, I no longer teach. However, I will continue to update information on this website frequently. My weekly ongoing classes are usually fully booked. Nevertheless, you can contact me to be added to my waiting list.  Once you become a student, you can stay as long as you wish. I teach 5 weeks at a time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 am to 12.30 pm, with a two-week break between terms.

Art Workshops & Classes


Art Classes Picture
I only offer two morning classes each week for all media. These are open sessions where students can work on drawings or paintings of their choice, while I will guide them through the process. I will coach beginners and intermediates through basic training sessions first. Saturday workshops are offered occasionally. 

Our Gallery of Works

Why not check out my students’ work and some of my own paintings in our online gallery? Although I no longer teach any children’s lessons, I have maintained the gallery available for your viewing pleasure.

Art Business Tips


Art Tips Picture
This is a collection of articles that inform and provide tips for pursuing an arts career. Some topics I cover are: Earn money from your drawings, price your artwork, Copyright, Networking, Proposal writing and more. 

General Art Tips


Art Business Tips Picture
A remarkable collection of general art tips. Free resources that will benefit any artist or art student. There is a wide range of free art business books, art instruction books accessible for download. I have created a list of over 50 free stock photo sites and gift ideas for artist. And compiled the very best artist reference packages for an incredible affordable price, plus other goodies.

Drawing & Painting Plans


Draw Paint Plan Picture
We've all known the struggle choosing a subject to draw or paint. These one-year drawing and watercolour painting idea plans may be helpful. The goal is to draw for 10 minutes every day, but if you feel inspired to go longer for a few sessions, go for it. 

Martina's Articles


Martina's Articles
These articles are useful to all art students. They cover themes such as 15 must-have skills for art students; the benefits of art classes; to everything you need to know about coloured pencils. These reports are all aimed to help you gain a better grasp of creative techniques or what to look  for in an art teacher.

Very informal approach and this made it comfortable to ask any questions. Also liked that it was a small group. Martina, you really know your stuff!! It’s obvious a great deal of research has gone into this course and it’s evident that the info is continually being updated.
