Realistic Drawing & Oil Painting | Portrait & Anatomy Studies | Colour Mixing Classes | Art Business Advice
Martina Pook has a long-standing reputation on the Gold Coast as an art teacher who successfully imparts realistic drawing and painting skills to art students of all levels and recognises that absolutely everyone can be taught how to draw and paint.

"When creating art you can leave learned things out,
but you cannot add something you don't know." |
Martina understands how vital it is to build a solid technical foundation from which to work while feeling supported and enjoying the lessons. After having taught for almost two decades, Martina is now holding regular adult art classes and children's classes from her private art studio, for those who are keen to learn the essential fundamentals of drawing and painting.

Our Weekly Kids Classes
If you have one of those children that love to draw or paint it can be so inspiring and helpful to join some art classes. We are running courses in realistic and illustrative drawing and oil painting techniques for young artists because most kids from about the age of 10 want to draw and paint more realistically, regardless if they this is within the realm of realism or comic styles.

Martina's passion for the art and her friendly, informal approach to teaching makes her classes both entertaining and highly informative. I highly recommend her "Business Semiar" to artists wishing to expand their understanding of business practices as they relate directly to visual art. Thanks Martina.

Martina's knowledge of structure in teaching art is brilliant and concise. She is able to articulate difficult concepts as well as demonstrates step by step methods in drawing and painting using visually easy to follow instructions. I would consider her one of the leading art teachers in Queensland.

Martina's combination of personal professionalism, knowledge and dedication to raise the standard of art as a profession is great. The Business Seminar for Artists delivers far more than promised. It is an invaluable resource for practicing artists at all stages of their careers. Martina is completely honest and prepared to share her knowledge with all her fulfills.
