About Farah
I have been painting over 10 years. I have my master degree in Art Research and I have been a teacher for 5 years. I always use new methods and every session we will be doing something attractive to avoid a boring class. You will enjoy being creative in my class. My classes are always fun and full of inspiration.
I began teaching painting over four years ago, inspired by my passion for art and the desire to share my knowledge with others. After earning my Master's degree in Art Research, I realized that my academic background and practical experience in oil painting could benefit aspiring artists.
I initially started by offering private lessons to friends and acquaintances, which allowed me to refine my teaching methods and understand the diverse needs of students. The positive feedback and the joy of seeing my students progress encouraged me to expand my teaching to a broader audience. This led me to offer more structured classes and workshops, eventually building a dedicated student base who appreciated my approach to combining technical skills with art history and theory.
I hold a Master's degree in Art Research, which has provided me with a deep understanding of art history, theory, and critical analysis. This academic background enriches my teaching by allowing me to incorporate historical context and theoretical perspectives into my lessons. Additionally, I have over five years of experience as an oil painter, during which I have honed my technical skills and developed my own artistic style.
In terms of teaching experience, I have been teaching painting for over four years, working with students of various skill levels. My background also includes a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, essential for effective teaching. Combining my academic training with practical experience, I offer a well-rounded and informed approach to art instruction.

When working with a new student, I begin with an initial meeting to discuss their interests, goals, and prior experience with painting. This helps me understand their current skill level and what they hope to achieve. From there, we set both short-term and long-term goals and create a customized lesson plan that aligns with their aspirations. The initial phase focuses on foundational skills, where I teach basic oil painting techniques, color theory, and the use of different materials through targeted exercises.
As the student progresses, we move on to project-based learning, where they work on individual projects that interest them, applying the techniques they've learned. I provide continuous guidance and constructive feedback to help them improve. We also incorporate elements of art history and theory, with regular critique sessions to encourage self-reflection and peer feedback. For advanced students, we explore more complex techniques and help them develop their unique artistic style. Additionally, I assist in preparing for exhibitions or building a portfolio, offering career advice for those looking to pursue art professionally. This structured yet flexible approach ensures each student receives personalized instruction, fostering growth and confidence in their artistic abilities.
I have worked with a wide range of students, each bringing unique backgrounds and aspirations to their artistic journey. My students include:
Beginners: Individuals with little to no experience in painting who are eager to learn the basics of oil painting and develop foundational skills.
Intermediate Artists: Those with some experience in painting who want to improve their techniques, explore new styles, and gain deeper insights into art theory and history.
Advanced Artists: Skilled painters looking to refine their techniques, develop a unique artistic voice, and prepare for exhibitions or professional careers.
Children and Teens: Young artists with a passion for painting, who benefit from a structured yet playful approach to learning art.
Adults: Hobbyists and enthusiasts who seek a creative outlet and wish to enhance their skills in a supportive environment.
Art Students: Individuals studying art formally who need additional support and mentorship to complement their academic training.
When hiring a teacher in oil painting or art instruction, prioritize finding someone with a strong background in both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Look for educators who have a proven track record of helping students achieve their artistic goals, whether through formal education, years of teaching experience, or a robust portfolio of their own work and student successes. Consider their teaching approach and philosophy to ensure it aligns with your learning style and objectives. Seek recommendations and reviews from other students to gauge their reputation and effectiveness. Finally, aim for clear communication and a comfortable rapport during initial consultations or trial lessons to ensure a productive and fulfilling learning experience.
A recent event that I am particularly fond of was an art exhibition I participated in at a local gallery. The preparation for the event was both exciting and challenging. I selected a series of my oil paintings that depicted various landscapes and natural elements, each with a touch of abstract imagination. Setting up the display and seeing my work alongside other talented artists was incredibly fulfilling.
The opening night of the exhibition was the highlight. The gallery was filled with art enthusiasts, fellow artists, and friends. I had the opportunity to discuss my work with visitors, sharing the inspirations and stories behind each piece. The positive feedback and genuine interest from the audience were heartwarming. Additionally, the event facilitated meaningful connections with other artists, leading to potential future collaborations.
What made this event truly memorable was the sense of community and shared passion for art. It was a celebration of creativity and nature, leaving me inspired and motivated to continue my artistic journey.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Before approaching a teacher for oil painting or art instruction, students should carefully consider several key questions to clarify their needs and expectations. Firstly, define your artistic goals—whether it's mastering specific techniques, developing a personal style, or preparing for exhibitions. Understanding your goals helps align expectations with potential teachers who can tailor their instruction to meet these objectives. Secondly, assess your preferred learning style—whether you thrive in structured environments with clear milestones, prefer exploratory and experimental approaches, or desire a balance of theory and practice. This insight will guide you in selecting a teacher whose teaching methods resonate with your learning preferences.
Next, evaluate your current skill level and areas for improvement in oil painting. Reflect on any prior experience or training in art to identify strengths and areas needing further development. Additionally, consider logistical factors such as budget, availability for lessons, and access to necessary materials or studio space. Being clear about these practicalities ensures you can discuss scheduling, costs, and resource needs effectively with potential teachers. By thoughtfully addressing these questions, students can engage in more meaningful discussions with teachers, fostering a collaborative learning experience tailored to their artistic journey.
