WELCOME TO MY SCHOOL!
I designed this Mentorship Program for aspiring and seasoned painters who want to Master techniques to blend Figurative with Abstract Art.
The programs offer an in-depth exploration into Realist Portrait Painting while also teaching dynamic abstract techniques.
Specifically, you will learn how to:
• Draw & Paint Realist Portraits that are Bold & Impactful
• Mixing Realistic Skin Tones for Any Complexion
• Experiment with a variety of mediums, surfaces & approaches
• Create Intricate Abstract Surroundings That Flow with the figurative work
• Elaborate Unique Compositions using reference images and imagination
• Transform Ideas into accomplished Large Scale Paintings
• Develop Confidence in your skills and artistry
During the monthly Interactive live Zoom classes we'll dive into specialized extra-curricular topics, drawing inspiration from the techniques of master painters like Sargent, Rembrandt, Rubens, Sorolla, Klimt, and more.
Additionally, the programs offer practical business guidance to help artists navigate studio setup and professional development. From portfolio creation to marketing strategies, participants receive hands-on advice to build a sustainable, thriving art practice.
My goal is to Empower You to Tune in with Your Artistic Voice.

FAQ
What is the difference between 3 & 6-month Programs?
In the 3-month program, we’ll cover the fundamentals of realist art, empowering you to create impactful portraits, along with my method for developing abstract backgrounds on a smaller scale.
In the 6-month program, I'll introduce multiple abstract and realist techniques, more topics and portrait demos on different skin tones, and we’ll create a medium to large-scale painting, based on a sketch to small study.
The 6-Month program offers a comprehensive look into my creative process, covering both portraiture and abstract-figurative painting!

I’m Rosso, an Italian-born fine art painter living in the UK. I started with classical portraiture and over time I've ventured into blending those traditional techniques with abstract elements. This evolution has allowed me to create pieces that feel contemporary while still honoring the foundations of classic art.
I’ve been painting professionally for over 10 years now. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of students from around the world, both online and in person. I have been awarded several prizes, including the Jackson’s Painting Prize for Figurative Work (2016), the WIA Women In Art First Prize, and I’ve been a finalist in top international competitions like ModPortrait and the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize.
I’ve also had the privilege of appearing on Sky’s Portrait Artist of the Year (2019/2021) and have been featured on the cover of The Artist Magazine (UK), as well as in publications like International Artist Magazine, Colossal, Create! Magazine, Artist & Illustrator, and Vogue India. My paintings have been exhibited in established institutions like the MEAM Museum in Barcelona and The Mall Galleries in London.
I’m deeply passionate about sharing my approach to contemporary figurative painting and helping fellow artists find fulfillment on their own creative paths.
