Hi, I’m Rosso — painter, educator, and founder of this school.
Years ago, while training at a classical atelier, my mentor said something that changed everything:
“Stop copying. Start seeing.”
Not the object. Not the photo. But the color, the temperature, the relationships between things.
That moment flipped a switch. I stopped trying to replicate what I thought was there, and started seeing — and feeling — through the lens of a painter.
This became the foundation of my method, which I now call Seeing Beyond: a way of painting that blends careful observation with expressive freedom. It’s not about matching reality — it’s about revealing something more unique, more personal.
But here’s the key: Freedom in painting needs structure.
Every expressive decision comes from a strong foundation — in drawing, value, color, and composition.
That classical training is the scaffolding that gives your expression strength and clarity.
This mindset runs through every part of the school.
My goal is to help you move beyond imitation — into bold, painterly expression. With structure. With soul. With your own voice.
I’ve structured this school in 3 Core Programs designed to meet you where you are, and guide you to where you want to be as an artist.
Here’s how they compare, so you can find the right fit for your journey: 👇
Explore What Each Program offers below:
START — Pre-recorded foundations focused on realist portraiture (drawing and painting)
COMPLETE — Full, structured curriculum (pre-recorded only) ideal for improving realist skills and moving onto creating large-scale abstract-figurative work in oil and mixed media.
COMPLETE PLUS — The full program plus Interactive Monthly Live Sessions, group critique, Master Classes
SUMMER ONLY: Enter SUMMERSALE at checkout for up to 30% discount on the Program price
What You Get When You Enrol:
✅ Instant, lifetime access to all pre-recorded content in your chosen path

✅ Early access & exclusive invites to future in-person events, exhibitions opportunities, and workshops in London, Sicily, and beyond
This isn’t just another quick class or a one-off download.
It’s a school — an evolving learning environment and a place to keep returning to — because becoming the artist you want to be takes time, guidance, support, inspiration.
Don't take my words for it.... Watch it:
Here's what students say:
"I love your explanation of the axes and plane shifts on a face and although I paint portraits your method shone a whole new approach to portrait painting. Thank you for explaining this in such a clear way" (Janet Moule, COMPLETE +)
"I am very grateful to have met you. You are helping me take my work to another level. I can’t wait to see where it comes out. Thank you!!" (Craig Palmer, US)
"I really appreciate all the hard work and content you are putting in to your art school . I’m still on the drawing realism section as I’m savouring every morsel of information and I can’t believe how much I’ve learnt so far and how you have motivated and excited me to work hard and experiment. When I’m not doing the art I’m thinking about it !" (Sharon Blake, UK)
"Rosso is a brilliant teacher as well as a magnificently creative artist. I was thrilled to study with her!" (Connie Abate, US)
"Many thanks for making me see and understanding painting!" (Chris Rivas, Mexico)

FAQ
What is the difference between the START and COMPLETE programs?
START focuses on the foundations of realist portraiture — from drawing to painting. We explore the core principles of classical realism and apply them to create portraits with vibrant skin tones and emotional depth. This is ideal if you want to learn to see like a painter and understand my method, regardless of your current level.
COMPLETE is a more extensive journey through my method. It introduces both realist and abstract-figurative techniques, includes demos on multiple skin tones, and offers deeper insight into composition, sketching, color, and overcoming creative blocks. The course culminates in a medium- to large-scale painting based on your own sketch and study — ready to hang or even sell.
