Nelson Ferreira - Art Classes - London

Nelson is very patient and is a good teacher. He is very encouraging. My last art session was when I did my As level Art (1998!). I joined Nelson's class as I want to learn how to draw/paint again. I had been his student for 2 terms and I fulfilled my goal painting a portrait of my mom. It was very hard but I did it thanks to his patience & guidance. I m now back for a 3rd term.

Nelson is an excellent hands on teacher and his oil painting classes are based on an informative practical style of learning. I have learnt so much over the last couple of years when attending his painting and drawing classes. He is very knowledgeable about art history and inspires his students to read, watch films and attend art related events such as exhibitions at the White Cube. So looking forward to joining his next oil painting class in the New Year. I highly recommend Nelson as an teacher and advise anyone looking to join an art class to join one of his classes.

Writing a review for Nelson is easy, as he is fantastic at what he does & the information is second to none. The art techniques & technical terms, that I learned during the class was astonishing. Also for me the delivery of the art technique is important to enable understanding & Nelson makes it very easy to understand.

I have been a student, as well as a model for Nelson Ferreira’s classes & I must say it has always been a pleasure from teacher to friend. I could not recommend Nelson enough, he truly is a top class teacher, as well a genuine person. L

Nelson Ferreira is an outstanding and very experienced Artist and Art tutor.
He taught one to one and in groups, in many galleries in different countries, and I went to his classes over a decde ago when I was returning to art after my university studies. He has practised and taught a huge range of classical styles, from different countries, from Indian miniatures and Realism. He has also taught about the wider cultural relevance of visual art, including film and theatre. I recommend his lessons.

From the mother of an exceptionally talented kid; Nelson has been unbelievable brilliant inspiring my son. I sat in the back waiting during the first hour of lessons as Kings Rd opens late on Sundays; and I was absolutely fascinated by the sheer knowledge Nelson has of his craft. My son has been on many art courses, but Nelson by far has been the most inspirational to him.

Nelson Ferreira's artwork is stunning. He is a specialist in western classical style. While we were colleagues at Spitalfields Studios (we shared the same space), he was also learning eastern painting traditions; the guy is always learning!!
He will set up art shows during the Whitechapel Gallery Thursdays which are always full and very popular, with hundreds of visitors.
Also, he's is very popular with his teachings: he offers top quality courses in classical painting/drawing techniques in central London and his students always seems so happy as they cannot find better artist out there who can explain techniques and the history of art in a better way!
I will give him a sixth star if it was possible.

Nelson's delivery and content made for a truly unique experience. For a novice such as me to actually produce fine art that in some way resembled the subject matter was amazing. I would recommend Nelson based on my encounter with his talent and effective teaching ability. Thanks Nelson.
