Welcome to Green Brick Studio. We offer private lessons in drawing and oil painting at our studio in Brooklyn. 
For Beginners and Intermediate, these lessons are meant for anybody who would like to get away from their normal busy life to devote time to learn more about art techniques. The one-on-one situation is a very intensive learning approach and will enable you to learn much faster than in a class situation. The hands-on lessons include plenty of demonstrations. There’s an emphasis on positive thinking and letting go of negative barriers.

Art Lessons in the comfort of your home

A lot of people would like to take art lessons, but find themselves with precious little time in the week.  Eliminate time on transport and book a first lesson. Materials are provided, although if you already have art materials and tools we can use yours.  A list of necessary things will be provided.  You don’t have to have a real art studio space, a dedicated corner of a room is fine for setting up a small easel and start drawing or painting!

Please read more about the Lessons here.

Starting in April we will be offering consultation sessions via Skype!

A one time consultation might be just the thing you need to get ahead with your art project without having to sign up for an entire course at your local art center. You can consult with an instructor in the comfort of your own home… or anywhere!

You are free to talk about anything you need help with on your painting or drawing. Some of the topics that can be covered are:  Motivational issues, materials, composition, support and stretchers, grounds, most technical issues, studio setup and supply recommendations. Affordable rates make this a great opportunity for professionals, students, and hobbyists alike!

Sessions can be as short as 20 min. and up to 90 min. You are welcome to contact us for more information before setting up a Skype session.

New Name: Green Brick Studio

After much consideration and to alleviate confusion, we have decided to change our name from NYC-Art Lessons to Green Brick Studio. We find the new name to have more personality, it’s easier to remember and it doesn’t have a ‘dash’ in the domain name. The web address nyc-artlessons.com will still work for this site also.
