Fine Art Mentoring

Find Your True Artistic Voice

I’ll help you learn how to see — not to copy.

Once you understand the structure, you’ll be able to draw anything.

What you’ll learn

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 understand the principles of arts and to help you understand how to interpret what you see.
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

✔ Texture — not just create forms but adding different textures for realism

✔ Rhythm — how to let your lines move naturally

✔ Anatomy — not rules, but understanding structure and gesture

✔ Illustration — exploring storytelling through images

✔ Techniques — a multitude of traditional and modern approaches to creating art.

From my studio

Here’s what some of my students said about their mentoring experience

“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

I want to thank you, Peter, for the wonderful work you’ve done with my daughter. She has learned so much from you—especially drawing techniques like shading, perspective, and working with still life compositions. I can already see how much her skills and confidence have grown. Your patience, clarity, and passion for teaching make a real difference. Thank you for everything—you’ve had a truly positive impact on Dalia’s artistic journey.

I do not offer pre-recorded video lessons; instead, demonstrations and guidance are delivered in real time during each session, allowing for direct interaction, immediate feedback, and a more personalized learning experience.

Can I pause my art mentoring program?

Yes, of course! If you have other plans or you’re going on holiday, just let me know at least 24 hours in advance. We’ll pause your sessions and pick up right where we left off when you return. When you’re ready to come back, please give me a heads-up at least 24 hours before your next session.
