One-on-one attention
Private Art Class with Nikusha Beatty
Private classes are a special way to learn art. Work under the guidance of your own instructor, who will suggest a program that fits you — whether it’s just one class or a whole year of learning.
Regardless of how good or experienced you are, private classes are a convenient way to learn and enjoy art. Choose when and how often you have classes. Go at your own speed and learn the things that you want to know.
Kids are welcome! Our youngest students are welcome to take private classes (parent presence required for ages 5 - 8).
One-on-one sessions allow for that personalized critique and feedback that can help you identify areas for improvement and set goals for future growth. In addition, it’s an opportunity to build a closer relationship with the instructor, who can serve as a mentor or sounding board for future projects.

Classes are conducted in-person or online. In-person sessions require a minimum of 2-hours. Sessions that require travel may be subject to additional cost.
Student story
From Essential Drawing to Coronado School of the Arts
Jackson studied with Nikusha for eight months. He began in the Essential Drawing course, then continued in private lessons. He was accepted to Coronado School of the Arts and invited to skip the freshman year, because his portfolio was so advanced and he drew well in his interview in front of a panel of judges.
Jackson, private art student
“Thank you so much for your techniques and recordings in art so I can be the best artist I can be! Your private lessons have helped and directly caused me to go to my dream art school!”
