I’ll help you learn how to see — not copy. Once you see the structure, you’ll be able to draw anything.
As a qualified art teacher, I guide students through many subjects — from still life to drawing outdoors, in nature, or in lively everyday scenes.
All of this is not just to teach you how to draw, but to help you understand what beauty truly means.
We draw not just to see the world — but to understand it.
✔ Perspective — how to build believable space and distance
✔ Composition — where to place your forms and balance the weight
✔ Light — to shape and bring life into your drawing
✔ Rhythm — how to let your lines move naturally
✔ Anatomy — not rules, but understanding structure and gesture
I’m Péter Pletl, an artist and mentor with over ten years of teaching experience in schools and more than eight years of online mentoring.
I’m passionate about helping others build confidence and develop strong artistic foundations. My approach combines personal experience, clear guidance, and a patient, supportive atmosphere where every artist can grow at their own pace.
“I offer one-on-one online mentoring to focus fully on your goals and artistic development.”
If you enjoy learning with others, you can also join my small group classes — just five participants — for shared growth and encouragement.
Whether you’re just beginning your artistic journey or refining your technique, personalized mentoring can make all the difference. I tailor each session to your goals, helping you grow with clarity, confidence, and creativity.
We move from line to form, from structure to rhythm.
Every concept builds on what you already know.
We draw from life — learning to observe, simplify and find balance.
Seeing how light, weight and rhythm work together makes drawing intuitive.
The process itself builds clarity and confidence.
Each session builds confidence and clarity in your drawing.

This drawing is part of my personal portfolio — an exploration of form, tone, and emotion.
Through my own artistic journey, I continue to refine the same techniques and visual principles I teach in mentoring.

“These works reflect the principles I teach — structure, light and rhythm —
but every student finds their own way of seeing.”
“Peter has been my mentor for many years, so I can proudly say that my work was shaped by his guidance. He taught me everything from how to hold a pencil properly to how to think about art in general. I recommend him to anyone who wants to try out art. He is a patient teacher who was willing to repeat simple concepts to me over and over until I actually understood.”
–Sara Voaideș
“Péter Pletl teaches drawing based on his own rich experience. His explanations are easy to understand so I can quickly master the different drawing techniques. This of course does not eliminate the need for practice, but makes it much easier and does not extinguish my enthusiasm for drawing. I started studying with him three years ago, and during this time my knowledge and drawing skills have clearly, in fact, one could say spectacularly developed.”
–Cotiso Réka
