Private and Custom Airbrushing Classes
with Toronto’s top makeup/visual artist, Dorota Buczel

If you are interested in learning the art of airbrushing, Dorota will make your learning easy, informative and enjoyable.
Instead of large groups, where the entire class moves along at the speed of the slowest learner, private or small group lessons ensure that you yourself walk away with the instruction and information you desired and paid for. You won’t have to waste time and money learning things you really are not interested in and have no intention of doing. In a one-on-one setting, all the attention is on one thing - you.

You don’t need any previous art experience to learn to airbrush.

Dorota offers private and custom airbrush classes for both beginner to advanced students and everyone in between. Day, evening and weekend classes are available to suit your busy schedule. On-going support is also available to all students to ensure that they maintain their learning momentum.

The skill of controlling an airbrush is the same, no matter on which of the following surfaces you choose to paint on:
Canvas * Paper * Cars * Wood * Wall Murals * T-Shirts * Motorcycles * Furniture * Helmets* Clothes * Boats * Sports Equipments * Signs * Logos……

Once you learn how to use the airbrush correctly, and which paint goes with which surface, the creative opportunities for you are endless - you can paint any image on any surface!
You’ll expand your artistry, get incredible results and save time!
