A unique and successful method of the Old Master’s teachings adapted for the modern day young student by Master Artist Veronica Kvassetskaia.
Our Journey Together…
Welcome young Artist,
My name is Veronica Kvassetskaia and I am a professional Fine Artist, I love to paint portraits .
I’ve dedicated my entire life to fine art and uncovering the secrets of the Old Masters such as da Vinci, Rembrandt, Boticcelli, Durer and Caravaggio.
In 1999, a girl named Alexandra asked me to teach her drawing and painting and I began building and developing this program. It took me more than 2 years to experiment and create this method, allowing one with no previous experience to learn to draw fast and with accuracy. I applied the Old Masters’ secret technique taken from da Vinci’s and Durer’s manuscripts.
Drawing is fun, drawing is joy and it leads one to a bright future.
You can become a famous Artist, Designer, 3D Animator, Film Director, Architect, Illustrator and Game Developer, to name a few careers.
Your drawing skills will help you to understand who you really are.
During our lessons I will share with you all the secrets, tools and tricks that I use in my own work. You will learn to find shape, size, proportions ,character, and bring to life the third dimension. To see the beauty of your surroundings.
You will discover how your eye works and becomes a partner with your hand, to recreate your thoughts.You will learn the simple tools of accurate life drawing . You will discover how light and shadow works.

I want you to remember a simple miracle; Everything your eye can see –your hand can draw. Write this down and make this the title of your sketch book.
