Types of Lessons Included in Your Annual Membership

Below are a few categories of lessons you'll receive

Besides a past library preloaded with several course bundles to get you started, every 2 weeks a brand new lesson will be added to the library - including various themes from Artist Styles & Movements, Tips & Techniques, Travel Journaling, and Paint Together opportunities.

Artist Styles & Movements

In these lessons Julian focuses on various artists and art movements throughout history. And then you get a change to recreate a masterpiece. From the Impressionsists to great women artists, the Italian Renaissance to Picasso - enjoy fascinating tale and scintillating stories.

Museums & Galleries

This category of lessons takes you through some of the major museums as well as some lesser-known galleries throughout the world. Learn about some of the highlight pieces in each before trying your hand at a reproduction or piece inspired by the style.

Paint Together

This is one of the popular styles of lessons where Julian chooses a beautiful and inspiring image - perhaps landscapes or botanicals - and you can draw and paint alongside him learning techniques along the way.

Travel Journaling

These lessons allow you to travel through amazing locales around the world - learning about a combination of visual stimuli from architecture, to landscapes, and even perhaps a masterful monument. Then we recreate something of interest in "travel journal style" from each place.

Tips & Techniques

These types of lessons will deal with specific techniques such as creating the illusion of reflection with watercolour, or useful tips on how to best create a self-portrait. Subjects will vary, and Julian will always add fun insights and history tidbits to whatever you're learning.

EXTRA VALUE

What Students are Saying

“Online classes with Julian saved my life more than once—first throughout COVID and again through several personal trials. That weekly accountability, insightful instruction, and little bit of handholding have propelled my art life by leaps and bounds—even to entering my first show! ”

Dianne P. - USA

“I first signed up to the Virtual Studio courses in the early days of Covid and have been an avid participant ever since. The format is brilliant - art history talk, group drawing/painting, critique and then a follow-up recording of the class. Julian is a terrific teacher, I’ve learnt a lot, met some lovely people and have had plenty of laughs - what’s not to like? ”

Jenni R. - UK

“Having done a few of Julian’s online group classes, I can recommend these as highly enjoyable, inspiring and productive sessions. Julian gives a brief but detailed background or history of each subject beforehand to put the lesson into perspective and augment interest. This, together with the energy during the class and the assessment at the end all result in a very satisfying creative experience.”

Julian Hyzler

Senior Instructor

Julian has been teaching students of all ages and abilities for over 30 years. He initially trained at art schools in the UK before specialising in Illustration in London, working for many prestigious clients as a freelancer. Since then he has led hundreds of week-long trips to Italy and around the world, developing over the years an understanding of the Cities and the History of Art in Florence, Rome, Siena, Naples and Venice with his company EASEL&LENS.

The atmosphere generated in the studio is always relaxed and friendly, whilst also being productive and lively, and you can expect positive encouragement to try new ideas as and when you feel confident to do so. Teaching art requires energy, patience and an ability to get as much out of each student as possible, and Julian always strives to do this, whether teaching painting and drawing, photography, design, or illustration.
