PRIVATE & GROUP CLASSES
TAKE YOUR CREATIVE ART PRACTICE TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Are you looking to seriously upgrade your painting & drawing skills?
Or to start finally taking some real action towards being more creative?
Make a start by taking a private class with me where I will not only help you sharpen your technique but also guide you to capture the most innate expression of your inner world by overcoming the mental blocks that have held you back from confidently creating in the past.
Classes are suitable for beginners to advanced and can be done either online or in person from my studio.
In-person Private studio classes are all €55 for 1.5 hours
Value options for 4 & 6 classes are available!
BOOK BELOW!
SINGLE, FOUR OR SIX PRIVATE CLASSES
1 evening or morning per week for one, four or six classes
Whether you are completely new to painting and are looking to begin dabbling with paint, or are a serious painter who is looking to take your art to new heights in 2023 with an experienced professional artist - this class is for you!
I will show you how to get the most out of your own natural artistic abilities and unique creative expression, whatever your level of experience. You will receive one-on-one focused attention from myself. I will share with you my vast knowledge of materials, techniques, and artistic secrets I have learned throughout my years of painting to fast track you to where ever your creativity is calling you to go.
Classes are structured and tailored to your precise needs. For example, if you are looking to learn the basics first, we can work through that in the first few weeks. Or if you are would like to learn through working on one particular piece, we can structure the classes so that we work and learn through one piece with the aim of having a completed piece at the end.
You can choose classes for a single class, or 4 & 6 classes, and can do mornings to evenings. Places are limited.
Easels are provided and a certain amount of art supplies, but I reccommend you bring your own.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
During the past year, I have been lucky enough to take Art Classes with Maria Johnston; initially on a one-to-one basis in her studio, and then later online during the lockdown.
I consider myself lucky to be one of Maria’s students because not only is she an extremely talented artist, but she is also a wonderfully kind, patient, and encouraging teacher.
Maria offers suggestions for improvement and feedback with great respect and gentleness.
She is very easy to talk to, open to ideas, and always good-humored.
I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every class I have taken with Maria, and I am very happy with the progress I have made in a relatively short space of time.
I highly and unreservedly recommend Maria Johnston, Artist and teacher.

"I went to Maria for help with a painting commission I was doing but despite being an artist myself I found myself stuck in a rut with the acrylic paints and the techniques I needed to get it as realistic as I hoped.
She was amazing, she taught me all the skills I needed including how to hold and use the brush correctly, specific paints to use, and techniques when painting.
She is insanely knowledgeable as both an artist with her own talent but also on the art materials and tools you need to get what you want. Would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone!"
