Nelson Ferreira - Art Classes

Nelson and I met years ago - a friend and I had attended his art classes in Whitechapel as a way of reconnecting with our 'inner artists' - and I am so glad we did. Since then we have become very close friends and I continue to learn from him every day. I loved Nelson's way of teaching so much, I organised him to teach at Farrells London. The classes were unsurprisingly very successful and so far he's continued to teach there for 4 (and more) terms. I would recommend Nelson to anybody and eve...

" Nelson is inspirational and knowledgeable, and he makes the learning fun. The museum and art exhibition day trips make it enjoyable, and fellow students get to know each other in a hospitable atmosphere. There is a class student exhibition to look forward to every term, so come join. Milan Franca N.

Choosing Nelson as my art teacher is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was immediately struck by his passion and dedication to not only teaching artistic techniques but to bringing out the best in his students. When you work with Nelson it becomes immediately obvious that he has fully immersed himself in all aspects of his craft. He has an incredible teaching style that weaves strong artistic technique into the science of art, it's history and its emotional connection. It's been o...

Nelson is highly talented and skilled in many different techniques of painting. He is a great teacher and I would urge anyone to try his art classes. You will see a great improvement in your technique whether you are a beginner or master, he always has something new to teach you! He really gets to know you and tailors his teachings to what you are hoping to achieve. I cannot recommend enough!

We all have memories of those teachers that inspire our love for a particular subject, making into that subject into a constant source of enjoyment and passion. Nelson is one such teacher! I believe he offers the best classes in classical painting and drawing in London. His only weakness is that he doesn't market himself enough. He is not just a superb teacher, but a brilliant artist as well.He is a true master of the western traditions who is also learning eastern techniques. Incredibly ha...
