Couldn’t ask for a better art teacher

Couldn’t ask for a better art teacher
I’ve been practicing with Francis for a few months now, and my art has been rapidly improving for the better, all thanks to his teachings. I really appreciate that he takes some time to dive into some art history to help me better understand methods to apply to my own while also advancing my horizons on art itself. He’s also been very considerate in other art-related avenues, like helping me find extra ways to further my skills while also giving me a lot of insight on art things you typically would get elsewhere, like helping me pick out a good art school. If you have a true soul of an artist who wants to improve while also having a little fun along the way, then definitely book a session; you won’t regret it.

Knowledgeable and kind tutor
Francis is very kind and knowledgeable, he has helped to teach me at a very comfortable pace, and really makes the concepts that you think are complicated into digestible, approachable ideas!

Awesome tutor, who acknowledges my prior experience
Taught me the fundamentals of art, how they are affected by the perspective, and has been mindful of my pace. My career goal is to be a physics researcher, and he has shown me much about dimensions and how shapes are seen
Wynnstan, 17 lessons with FrancisTutor responded:I'm glad that you are finding the lessons helpful Wynnstan. Your growth has been exponential!
Two words: Artist - Mentor
Genuinely passionate *and* knowledgeable about art, plus experienced teacher with an actual curriculum. If you're looking to learn all things art, look no further. If you feel the fee is expensive, suck it up, it's a worthy investment.
Manos, 18 lessons with FrancisTutor responded:Thanks Manos! It's been a pleasure working with you so far and I look forward to working with you on your new portfolio.
Extensive knowledge of drawing
I sought out Francis for help with my drawing. The scheduling process was smooth and when we met he had extensive materials and experience to help me solve my proportion issues and not work so stiff. I wasn't expecting it, but he offered numerous artists to look at based on my interests that I am now studying. These extra notes will keep me motivated for a while. If I have anymore questions, I am happy to know he is a resource. Recommended.
Renae, 1 lesson with FrancisTutor responded:Thank you Renae! I'm pleased the techniques and artists we reviewed are useful. Best wishes with you drawing!
Very helpful & knowledgable
I needed some help with the process of digitizing and preparing artwork for making prints and Francis was so very helpful. He went over the requirements for scanning artwork, talked with me about file sizes and different printing options, and walked me through the simplest way of editing and preparing my artwork in Photoshop. I have spent hours watching videos of this process on YouTube and have consulted with other artists, but Francis helped me figure everything out in just one hour, saving me sooo much time! The entire lesson was seamless and it is very obvious that he knows his craft well, and is an excellent and patient educator. I highly recommend working with Francis, as I will certainly be contacting him again when I need more help!
