Private In-Studio Art Lessons With Michael Magrin

Oil Painting Lessons Located in the Denver Metro Area


In-studio lessons offer a unique set of advantages. They provide a controlled environment where you can focus on specific learning objectives without the unpredictability of outdoor elements. 

Unlike plein-air sessions, which are subject to the weather and seasons, in-studio lessons offer the continuity and consistency of year-round learning opportunities. This setting is ideal for delving deep into techniques, skills, and exercises tailored specifically for studio work, allowing for focused, uninterrupted progress on your artistic journey.

Michael’s Art Studio

Michael’s in-home studio is designed to be a sanctuary of calm and creativity, seamlessly integrated with the main floor of his home. Surrounded by in-progress works, framed pieces, and studies for future projects, the space is not just where Michael creates but a living gallery of his artistic process. 

It's filled with inspirational art books, adding a layer of educational richness to the environment. A baby grand piano and a guitar add to the studio's ambiance, fostering a creative oasis where art and music blend, enhancing the learning experience for all who enter.

Lesson Techniques and Skills

In-studio lessons cover the entire spectrum of the creative process, offering exercises and assignments in color theory, composition, brushwork, master studies, sketching, and value studies. 

This comprehensive approach ensures that you can explore and refine a wide range of techniques under direct guidance, making each session an opportunity for significant artistic development.

Customized for Your Skill Level

Customization is key in Michael’s teaching approach. Through an initial phone conversation, you collaborate to define your goals and objectives, allowing Michael to tailor each lesson to meet your specific needs. 

This personalized strategy ensures that whether you're a beginner or more advanced, the lesson will be relevant, challenging, and supportive of your individual artistic path.

Booking and Availability

In-studio lessons are available throughout the year with flexible scheduling to accommodate your availability. Each session lasts approximately two hours.

Lessons are priced at $325, offering value that extends beyond the studio as you continue to develop your skills independently. 

Booking is straightforward—contact Michael to find a time that suits you, and let your artistic transformation begin.

Testimonials

  • True Professional

    “Michael is a talented artist and a natural teacher. He was generous with his time and his knowledge, answering a wide range of questions without hesitation. The class was held in his beautiful, comfortable home studio. After two hours together, I walked away with a sense of his process, materials, and a beautiful (almost) finished painting. A true professional in every aspect. I would welcome the chance to work with Michael again.”
