Introduction

I am a Columbia University MFA Graduate in Visual Art, a working artist, and educator based in Miami. Experienced in teaching students of all abilities from 6th grade to professional artists; my students have gone on to win awards, scholarships, and grants from top institutions. If your goals are more modest, that’s great too; each lesson is tailor-made for you. My classes blend classical and contemporary methods of painting and drawing, taking advanced concepts and breaking them down into lessons that are fun and intuitive. Before beginning, we’ll have a brief conversation about what you’d like to get out of the class, and you will have the opportunity to show me some of your previous artwork. Popular lesson topics include the following, but the possibilities are endless. Painting and Drawing for Beginners Portfolio Development Developing an Artist Statement Taking Quality Photo References for Drawing The Block-In Method Grisaille Oil Painting Drawing in Pen and Ink Advanced Drawing Barque Drawing (Technical Development) Painting with a Limited Palette Color Mixing + Color Theory Materials Workshop Still-Life Painting + Drawing Critical Art Theory Plein Air Painting + Drawing Visit @nicoleburko on Instagram to view my artwork.

Lessons are AMAZING. I have a strong passion for the arts and expressing idea's that words alone can’t describe. Ms.Burko’s experiences and love for the arts not only inspires me to express these ideas in many ways and mediums, but pushes me to be better. The changes in my work before and with Ms.Burko’s lessons are unbelievable! I’ve won many art awards with Ms.Burko’s help including The Bass Teen Art Exhibition, and the Scholastics Art & Writing Awards.

Whether you're a beginner or a professional, this painting class will help you immensely. Being an experienced painter, taking this class I was taught essential skills and introduced to traditional techniques that I still apply to my art today. This class is absolutely worth it.

Ms. Burko is an amazing teacher who taught me many techniques and introduced me to plenty of useful materials to excel at working in many mediums. With her guidance, I improved dramatically from being an average artist to being admitted into exhibitions at museums. ZERO TO HERO, ♾️/10!!
