Drawing & sketching for everyone from the basics to perfection

Anyone can learn to draw. It's not some magical gift a few people are born with. It's a skill you can train. I can help explore your creativity!

With practice and patience, you will be able to unlock a passion, side hustle, or new professional skill. These step-by-step lessons will give you all the sketching tips you need to get started or take a step forward.
Drawing and painting are for many people a great way of self-expression, drawing is always a good hobby to have; I have been drawing my whole life, and I became a professional in architectural drawing. I am a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts and the son of architects 😉

During lessons with me you will learn to depict: architectural landscape, still life, and nature. If you are beginning your adventure with a pencil you will be able to learn the principles of perspective, chiaroscuro and composition.
Lesson topics will be selected to suit your individual needs and your pace.
They are usually based on the following steps: Theory of perspective -> Three-dimensional drawing -> Construction of an architectural form in perspective -> Bird's eye view frames

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions :)

About Me

I’m thirty-three years old, born in Poland. I've lived in over a dozen cities, including Boston. I currently live and work in Amsterdam.

I am an artist by passion, a graphic designer by conviction, and an interior designer and teacher by profession. I believe that art is something for everyone to enjoy.
I draw on extensive experience as both a practising artist and an educator. I provide teaching in either English or Polish for any level.

I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts (Warsaw) and accomplished an architectural drawing course (Lodz), both completed with distinction. I also have a pedagogical education (Krakow).

Among the various educational experiences that I conducted, I fondly remember art classes for children and youth as part of summer volunteering in Gdynia and Dublin.

I am passionate about photography, chess and sails. In my free time, I practice mindfulness.

Jakub is very good teacher, pointed my actual habits that blocked my creativity and came up with solutions instantly how overcome them. Lessons with him are pretty valuable, totally recomend ;)
Teacher Jakub deserves a thumbs up!! He was extremely throughout and prepared all the equipments for me ahead of time and planned the lesson according to my artistic journey! The content he prepared was very thought through and well designed and if I had more time and energy I really could learn so so so much more from him!!! A big big thank you and a high recommendation 🤩🤩🤩
Jakub is a fine teacher. Throughout my multiple session over 3-4 months, i have exceeded my own expectation. I started from 0 experience, Jakub broke down the drawing into multiple exercises focusing on different aspects. He focused on explaining the theory and mistake of my drawing. I have gained a lot of knowledge and theory in term of urban planning and city landscaping. He is also very responsive and supporting to follow up with my progress after each lessons. I have enjoyed the sessions! Thanks Jacub!
Jakub is so far, an excellent drawing tutor for my daughter. He was in good contact with us, answered all our questions and was flexible in setting up a meeting time online. We look forward to our daughter having more drawing lessons with him soon.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Drawing course. We draw your favorite mangas, photographs and real things.
Drawing is a fun activity. It's very interesting to see how the lines take shape as you draw them, and it's also satisfying when you take the finished drawing home. This workshop is aimed at people of all ages, from children to adults who love to draw and want to learn tricks and tips for drawing. You can bring anything you like and would like to draw, whether it's a manga, a photograph, or even the actual object if you can bring it with you. If you don't have anything in particular, we'll look at the materials I've prepared together and I'll give you tips on how to draw! You can draw on paper with a pencil or marker, or if you have a tablet, that's fine too.
