Would you like to learn from me?

Have you ever wanted to learn drawing or painting, allowing your sense of style and understanding of fine art to grow to its full potential?

Or have you ever wanted to give your children an opportunity to learn art and get training by a professional artist, taking them way beyond what they’ll learn in art classes at school?

If you answered “Yes” to either of the questions above and live in the Orlando area, I have great news for you! I’ve recently relocated from San Diego, California, where I was successfully teaching fine art lessons, and am now accepting a limited number of students, who are interested in learning fine art by taking private drawing or painting lessons.

I just love working with my students, helping them grow and develop! And because I feel very privileged having had the opportunity to get the fine art education that I spent most of my life acquiring, I've now decided to "give back" by offering private art lessons to a small, select group of students (minimum age 11 years old).

Please take a moment to check out a few samples of some of my student's works. I'm soooo proud of them and how far they've developed their artistic skills since they started taking lessons from me!

For the past three months Tatiana Kolesnikova has been the art teacher for our daughter Pia, who is 11 years old. We naturally expected Pia to develop her drawing ability, but we never expected such rapid improvement in such a short period of time! Tatiana is introducing Pia to different new techniques as well as subjects, and is motivating and guiding her in a very professional manner. After every lesson we get back a happy child with a new, impressive piece of art; and even more importantly, with more confidence in her own abilities. This, along with Pia’s growing interest in all aspects of art, makes her art lessons priceless! Wiebke Elbe

Review I took oil pastel and watercolor painting classes with Tatiana. Before starting any of the classes Tatiana analyzed my artistic level, in order to reinforce my skills and teach me new techniques and abilities where I lack the knowledge or talent. She also took in account the points I wanted to improve. In my case I wanted to be more comfortable with colors. Not only did I manage this, but I also managed to bring life to the mixtures of colors in my paintings. All the classes started on time. The teacher has vast supply of materials for making the class more informative. She has a large collection of art books, plenty of materials for creating different still life scenes, lots of interesting photos to choose from, and different art materials. She can teach drawing and painting with any material the student picks. Tatiana is patient and comprehensive. She can apply different teaching approaches until finding which one is most effective for the student. She also takes into consideration the pace of a student. Because I took classes that were three hours long, she was very kind in offering me snacks and drinks. During the classes I could tell Tatiana is very professional and has a lot of experience in teaching. She has an incredible artistic talent, leaving one astonished during her demonstrations. The classes are very affordable. The one-on-one teaching method is very rewarding. The classes are so much fun that time feels that went by in a blink of an eye. Nichole Hirtz Kissimmee, FL

Testimonial letter from Vicky Chambers: Tatiana has been my painting instructor for the past two years. Art has always been something I greatly value but talent is something I seriously believed I did not have. Tatiana not only became my teacher and mentor but she was, and still is, someone who encourages me constantly. Some of the paintings I tackled were way beyond my skill level but Tatiana patiently helped me work through each piece. I have learned so much through her guidance. As a teacher myself, I appreciate Tatiana's knowledge of her subject, her methodical approach, and her honest appraisal of my efforts. She has helped me understand that talent is only a small part of the equation. Anyone can paint if they are determined, practice and most importantly, enjoy the process. Thank you, Tatiana!

I’ve spent almost my entire life learning about and creating fine art. Starting at the age of 6, my schooling includes The Art School of Yekaterinburg, Russia, College of Fine Art in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and 3 years of studying History of Art in the Russian Art Academy.

My paintings are held in various private collections in Russia, Italy, Germany and Denmark, and have been exhibited nationally in numerous shows winning many awards. In the past I have taught painting and drawing to adults as well as children, even though my main focus is on my own paintings.

Now it can be your turn to experience lessons in fine art!

So if you’re ready to take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn and grow, please to email me.

Best regards,

Tatiana

PS. Because of my busy schedule I can only have a very limited number of students, and will be accepting you on a first come, first serve basis. So when my schedule is full, you’ll have to go on a waiting list, until a space opens up again.
