Rachel Sellars Fine Arts, Austin

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Students of all levels are welcome to come learn about art in a relaxed and supportive environment for private lessons. In the studio students will learn about drawing and/or painting, depending on what medium(s) they choose to pursue. Lessons are tailored to individual interests and ability levels.

Do you provide any materials? What should your students expect to bring?
Mediums taught include: graphite pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, pastel and oil paint. Drawing materials are provided during class, but students are require to bring their own materials for painting. A list for beginners will be provided.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Having learned so much in my own art lessons and experiences, I wished to pass on what I learned. While I have taught large classes, the amount of tailored and individual instruction that comes from private classes is unbeatable, which led me to start my studio.

What do you love most about your job?
I love teaching a student something new for the first time and their excitement and "Ahha" moments they have from that. Also helping students with what they are working on so they can come away an artwork they love, while they learn something new or improve on what they can already do .
