Chara Sottou

I have over 15 years experience as an artist in the Film & Animation industry. My strengths lie in analysing form, colour & light, anatomy, drawing, painting and composition. If you'd like to see my work and what I can offer, I can share during our first free session.

Whether you're doing your GCSE, A-level, Art Foundation or building your portfolio, I'd listen to what things you like, types of art you already draw inspiration from and what skills you want to develop.

Then I'll help you find ways to achieve that on your work, with inspirational Pinterest boards with references to artists, photographs and anything I think will help you enrich your work. If you feel stuck or overwhelmed I can help you detangle your thoughts and make a realistic action plan that will get you to your goal.

We'll find what works for you and see how we can use references to practise, incorporate in your preparatory work and help design your final pieces. I will help you with digital paintovers on your drawing/paintings with suggestions on how you could approach, enhance & develop your drawings and paintings. I'll share ways that help me analyse images/references/artist works, how thumbnails can help brainstorming, focus and creating you vision for your final pieces.

I'm hoping we can have some fun exploring colour and light and be proud of the art you create!
