If you’ve been looking for art lessons for your child — or for yourself — you already know the frustration. Most options mean loading up the car, finding parking, and working around a studio’s schedule. For families in Coconut Grove, there’s a better way. Maria brings the lesson directly to your home, arriving with every supply your student needs and leaving you with nothing to prep or clean up. Lessons are available for children ages 5 and up as well as adults, and whether your child has never held a paintbrush or you haven’t drawn anything since middle school, that’s perfectly fine. We start exactly where you are.
Private Art Classes That Come to You
The whole model is built around convenience. Maria travels to your home in Coconut Grove, sets everything up, and runs a focused one-on-one session right there in your living room or kitchen table — wherever works best for your family. Each lesson runs one hour, and you can schedule weekly or bi-weekly depending on what fits your life. There’s no commute, no parking situation on McFarlane Road, and no hauling a kid across Miami after school. Just open the door and you’re ready to go.
What Students Learn
Lessons follow a real curriculum — not just free drawing time. Students work through four mediums: pencil, pastel, watercolor, and acrylics. We build from drawing fundamentals and composition first, because those foundational skills make everything else click. For kids, that progression also supports motor coordination, problem-solving, and creative confidence in ways that carry into other areas of school. For adults starting from scratch, the structured approach means you’re actually making something you’re proud of within the first few sessions — not just feeling lost.
One-on-One Instruction for Kids and Adults
Group classes have their place, but they can’t do what one-on-one instruction does. When a child works individually with an instructor, the lesson adapts to exactly where that student is — their pace, their interests, the techniques they’re ready for. If your child is six and just getting started, great. If they’re ten and already passionate about drawing, we build on that. The individual attention makes a real difference.
For adults, the hesitation is usually the same: “I’m not artistic” or “I haven’t done anything like this since I was a kid.” That’s exactly who these lessons are designed for. We work through watercolor and acrylic painting in a way that builds confidence quickly, without any pressure to perform. Plenty of our adult students in South Miami and Coral Gables started with zero experience and were genuinely surprised by what they created in the first few weeks.

What to Expect From Your First Lesson
You don’t need to do anything to prepare. Maria arrives at your home, brings all the art supplies and materials needed for the session, and sets up before you even have to think about it. First lessons typically start with foundational drawing skills — basic shapes, lines, and composition — so students build a real base to work from. The pace is relaxed, the environment is familiar, and there’s none of the anxiety that comes with walking into a new studio or classroom. Most students feel comfortable and engaged within the first ten minutes. And when the hour is up, we pack everything up and leave your space exactly as we found it.
