I studied art many years ago but stopped.
I wanted to get back to drawing again, but I needed help.
I signed up for Henry's drawing class at the Coquitlam Community Centre for beginners.
Henry has helped me to draw again.
If you want to learn how to draw, I highly recommend Henry.

I've known Henry on a personal level for over a decade now and have known of his passion for art and teaching from the very beginning.

It wasn't until recently that I had the opportunity to work with Henry on a professional capacity when my company was piloting the idea of facilitating continued learning courses in the realm of extended life skills.

There was a demand for an art course, and Henry was easily the first person I had in mind to reach out to.

He came into the office, and taught an introductory art course to roughly 9 attendees (ranging from ages 12 to 44). 2 of the attendees were co-founders of our company and wanted to sit in and experience the class first hand.

The feedback I received both during and afterwards were astoundingly positive. They loved his energy, positivity, and professionalism. I was told by my partners that he had a fantastic balance of being very hands on, while also knowing exactly when to step back and have you develop the techniques on your own.

His lessons were very simple to follow and understand, and he encourages questions so that he can gauge which areas he should be supporting.

We'll definitely be continuing our partnership with Henry in the future to come, and I cannot recommend him enough.

Henry's students artistic works have been impressive. He has a genuine love & passion for his craft and for his students .- Edward Tu

I have seen some of Henry’s students’ works and they are quite impressive. When I was younger, I dabbled in drawing, oil painting, and Chinese water colouring/calligraphy, so I know how difficult it is to learn various artistic techniques. I was a high school music teacher for 25 years, and a department head of Phys. Ed. And Arts for 15, so I have seen many talented students throughout my career. I would highly recommend Henry as a great teacher.

Hey this is Kemal, I was one of Henry's past students. I highly recommend Henry as an Art tutor. He has guided me as well as been a kind and caring person. He is very patient and explains everything in full details making sure that the student learns well.

I've been an artist and art teacher for 20+ years and I have known Henry for the same amount of time. Simply put he loves art and has a passion for teaching all that he has learned over the years. He focuses on fostering creativity, imagination, and critical thinking skills in his students. He encourages his students to explore different forms of art and to express themselves in their own unique ways and provides opportunities for them to reflect on their own progress and growth. Henry also uses constructive feedback to challenge his students to take risks and push themselves out of their comfort zones and creates a safe and supportive learning environment, which helps his students to develop not only their artistic abilities but also their self-confidence and resilience. Without hesitation I recommend Henry!!

Henry is a very trustworthy and great teacher. He is always supportive and is very patient with me. Even after just one lesson with Henry, my confidence in my drawing has improved significantly. He never gets frustrated, and breaks down the techniques in drawing to make it easier for me to understand. I recommend Henry to any student who wants to greatly improve their drawing skills. - Grade 7 student

Henry has been teaching my daughter for a while now and I have seen a great improvement in her drawing. Henry is very patient and friendly, I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their drawing skills.

I've been taking drawing lessons with Henry for the past year or so, and in that time I've learned a lot. I had no drawing experience before (total beginner), and Henry has taught me the fundamentals in a way that I found easy to approach, understand, and practice.

Henry's method of teaching (for beginners, at least) is in breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more basic steps - this has helped me to train my eye, and to see any complex drawing project as a series of smaller, more manageable elements.

I've enjoyed taking lessons with Henry. He has a friendly, and personable teaching style, which makes the learning process enjoyable, and has kept me engaged with my drawing practices.

I would highly recommend Henry as a drawing instructor here on superprof!

Henry develops a positive and fun rapport with all learners. Along with his strong background in arts, Henry greatest strength is his belief that all learners can achieve a high level of success.

I learned a lot from Henry about drawing. What benefits me most is that Henry taught me how to analyze and get the structure of the object to be drawn by breaking it down to such basic shapes as cubes, cylinders and how to draw these basic shapes which actually all objects consist of. Henry also taught me useful techniques to make my drawing more accurate, for example, how to use proportions, plumb line and negative space.
Learning perspectives from Henry has been a fun part, especially the two-point perspective.
Learning drawing from Henry brought me a new perspective of observing this 3D world. It brought me some interesting experience of converting things between two dimensions.
