About Paulo
Hi, I’m Paulo. I'm an artist who specializes in portraiture. I work both in studio and live as a street portrait artist in Toronto, as well as at public and private events. I’m now offering online drawing lessons where I help students develop their technique, observation, confidence, and creative voice.
About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
Lessons are tailored to your pace, learning style, skill level and artistic goals. I offer clear demonstrations, practical guidance, and supportive feedback.
Here’s a general outline of what we’ll cover:
1. Different drawing materials - their inherent qualities and how and when to use them.
2. Different approaches and methods to drawing a portrait (Loomis, gesture, measuring, tracing, etc.)
3. Chiaroscuro - how to use light and shadow to create three-dimensional form.
4. Perspective, planes, and foreshortening
5. Proportions and head/neck anatomy
6. Step-by-step processes and techniques
7. And more, depending on your pace and interests
These lessons are for beginners who want a clear and supportive starting point, and for intermediate artists who want to progress their technique and realism. They're also great if you're working on a personal project, building a portfolio, or just trying to get back into drawing with more confidence.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
I’m delighted to recommend Paulo as a portrait drawing tutor. In addition to being kind, thoughtful, and professional, Paulo is an incredibly talented artist whose dedication to his craft is truly inspiring. He works hard and consistently goes the extra mile to create art that leaves a lasting impression.
One example that stands out to me is the stunning portrait Paulo drew of my mother — a truly beautiful and perfect likeness that captured her spirit so well. It’s also amazing to see the spontaneous sketches Paulo creates in just 20 minutes while on the train or on the road — the level of skill and attention to detail is remarkable, even in those quick pieces.
If you’re looking to learn portrait drawing from someone who is not only gifted but also passionate and encouraging, I can’t recommend Paulo enough!View more recommendations
