Tutor Profile

Yunconglong

Private Painting and Drawing Tutor in London

I was born in China in 2001 and began formal art training at 13.

In 2021, I graduated from the Affiliated High School of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, where I built a strong foundation in drawing, oil painting, and design. One of my sculpture works was also selected for the school collection.

In 2026, I graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, specialising in Concept and Technique. My practice includes clay, wood, stone, metal, ceramics, mixed media, installation, and digital art. My works have been exhibited at venues including Today Art Museum and Aranya Art Center.

Teaching Experience

I began teaching foundational art skills in a private studio during high school, helping students develop drawing techniques and skills specifically for art high school entrance examinations.

During university, I worked in children’s art education and spent two years as a teaching lead at Smart Art School. Alongside teaching children, I also provided art portfolio and practical skills training for students preparing for university-level art admissions.

As my own practice developed towards contemporary and interdisciplinary art, I began focusing on private tutoring for both children and adults. Rather than relying on fixed formulas, I encourage students to develop their own ideas through observation, experimentation, and hands-on making. My goal is not simply to teach techniques, but to help each student discover their own way of thinking and creating.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching focuses on drawing, sculpture, and mixed-media art, following three stages: Observation – Method – Creation.

I believe observation is the foundation of art and a skill that can be trained. In drawing, we might explore how the environment affects the colours of light and shadow, or learn to simplify complex images in our minds before drawing them. In sculpture, we might practise understanding an object’s complete form from different viewpoints. Through these exercises, I will help you develop both observational skills and fundamental art knowledge.

Once you discover something beautiful, the next question is: how do you make it? Based on your observations and creative goals, I will guide you through choosing tools, materials, and techniques. From drawing fundamentals and oil painting to building armatures, wood carving, mould-making and casting, you will develop the skills and confidence to choose the right medium for your own ideas.

When you feel confident with your ideas, I will encourage you to create boldly. Hair might become part of a sketch; a sculpture might be designed to be worn and become part of your body; a doghouse might even become a small temple. Let your imagination run free and create something uniquely yours.

Through my guidance, I hope you will discover that art is much closer to you than you might think.
