Professional artist, Fine Arts Graduate offering realistic drawing, painting and illustration classes. From basic portraits to high quality masterworks!

I had been fighting with watercolour for ages. Every time I tried to correct something, it just got worse. Federico showed me how to plan the lightest areas before painting and use the paper itself as part of the image. We also talked about edges and letting some areas disappear. I’m still learning, but my paintings are much less muddy now

My characters always looked like they were standing around waiting for a bus. I wanted to make them more dynamic, so we worked on gesture, balance, weight and exaggeration. Federico kept making me push the poses further than felt comfortable, and weirdly that was exactly what they needed. I’m much happier with my character drawings now.

My acrylic paintings used to look like coloured-in drawings. Federico helped me understand how to think in terms of masses and edges instead of outlines. We also talked about keeping some areas soft and letting the eye fill things in. It sounds very simple written down, but actually seeing it happen in my own painting was a big difference.

One thing I really liked was that Federico didnt just tell me to ‘look harder’ at the reference. He showed me what to actually look for: angles, negative spaces, big value shapes, proportions, overlaps etc. It sounds small but it changed the way I approach a photo. I used to copy what I thought I was seeing. Now I’m much more analytical about it.

I work with digital environments and was looking for help making my scenes more believable. The most useful part wasn't learning software techniques—it was learning to construct the image before rendering it. We discussed perspective, lighting direction, scale, atmospheric depth and focal hierarchy. Tadeo also pointed out several problems in my existing work that I hadn't even noticed. I came away with a much clearer workflow

I used to choose colours almost entirely by intuition, and my paintings were consequently very inconsistent. The colour theory lesson was eye-opening. We looked at temperature, saturation, value, simultaneous contrast and limited palettes, then applied those ideas to an actual painting. I especially liked that Federico explained the reasoning behind every exercise instead of simply giving us rules to memorize.

My perspective drawings were a disaster. I could draw individual objects reasonably well, but put them inside a room and everything started floating. The lesson on vanishing points and constructing objects in space finally connected the dots for me. The best part was learning how to check my perspective instead of guessing.

I enrolled to better understand color theory and painting techniques for my custom designs. Federico explains everything clearly, from values to color temperature, and always gives practical advice instead of vague criticism. The convenience of online classes has made it possible for me to keep learning despite a busy workshop schedule.

The individual feedback from Tadeo is what makes these classes so valuable. He quickly spots weaknesses in anatomy, composition, or painting technique and always explains how to improve them.

Although I work primarily in sculpture, Federico’s anatomy and drawing lessons have dramatically improved the quality of my designs. His feedback is always clear and constructive. The online format is a major benefit because I can sketch and sculpt from my workshop while participating in class.
