I am a high school Graphics teacher with five years of experience teaching 8th grade - 12 grade. I am licensed to teach adults as well. I have experience with neurodiversity in the classroom, modifyin... g lessons to fit the learning styles of my students. Several of my students have received awards through the Scholastics and Congressional District art shows. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in the graphics industry as a print manager and an art director. I also illustrated a book about the Tollhouse Cookie. It’s call “The Cookie Loved ’Round the World” by Kathleen Teahan. My Coloring Your Drawings with Markers lessons are tailored to each student. The more classes taken, the more we can cover. Lessons include blending and layering color, creating gradients, cleaning up rough edges. Supplies you will need: dual-ended alcohol-based markers*, a colorless blender marker*, your pencil-based artwork, eraser *Note: I use Prisma Color dual-ended alcohol markers. However, you can find other alcohol-based markers online. I like sets that have 20 or more colors. (Remember, you will want a colorless blending marker as well.) Nice to have: Marker paper or sketch paper (fine texture)read more

Hi I am Larisa! I live South of Boston, where I was born. I am so lucky, because my family lives in California. What a fun place to vacation! I am happiest when I am doing something creative. I like... to draw and "paint" with markers. I love being in the woods. I have two dogs, they are Spinone Italianos. (Have you heard of this breed? They are sort of funny looking.) So I spend time in the woods walking them a lot. I have been a teacher of Graphics for over 5 years. Before becoming a teacher, I worked in the graphics industry as a print manager and an art director. I also illustrated a book about the Tollhouse Cookie. It’s call “The Cookie Loved ’Round the World” by Kathleen Teahan. My tutoring style is friendly and encouraging. My goal is to share the joy of creating with you. I see mistakes as one of the ways we learn. I hope you find our tutoring time together fun and encouraging.read more
