Nika Zakharov Fine Art Lessons

I teach painting and drawing classes in Gainesville, FL. For private lessons, you now have a choice of in-person or Zoom sessions. Working with all ages and levels of ability, I tailor my instruction to the specific needs of the student. My method is based on representational painting. Along with hands-on demonstrations, advice is offered on materials, technique, color mixing and design. Students can select the subjects they want to paint.

The scheduling is done on a monthly basis. Pick a day and time and reserve that slot for a month. For cost savings, you can take lessons with a friend, or with a small group of four or less.

Mediums include oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel and charcoal.

Subjects are painting/drawing basics, portrait and figure (beginner to advanced), still life and landscape.

Methods are alla prima and Flemish (indirect).
