Jonathan Tuftee

This is where I put my art on the internet for you to see. I am a painter and illustrator. I work in a variety of mediums.

Each of these portrait sketches is a quick study in capturing expression, form, and depth. I keep my process loose and intuitive, focusing on structure and value while working within a limited time. These sketches are a glimpse into my artistic exploration, and each one tells its own story.

Select sketches are available as NFTs on OpenSea, offering a unique way to own and collect my work in the digital space. If you’d like to see my full sketching process, check out my videos on YouTube, where I share time-lapse recordings of each piece coming to life.

About me.

I am a father, artist, and art teacher. I love making things and learning. My goal is to become full-time artist, but I'll always be involved in art-education. I've be fortunate to work with many of the art museums we have here in Houston, and was able to be a key-note speaker at the 2nd annual TAG pop-up exhibition put on by the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. In September, 2024 I co-taught a Professional Development drawing course for the Visual Arts specialists of the Houston Independent School District at HSPVA.

Art sessions offered.

I'll always be involved in Art education. Currently I am not able to take on any more students, but leave your email and check back for availability.

I meet your artist where they are.

I typically take two sessions to see where your students is creatively and technically so that I can then craft lesson plans that can help further your artists abilities and confidence.

Pricing.

Currently $40 a session which must be paid before the session begins. Discounts are available for clients paying for several sessions in advance.

Currently weekends and summers only.

Typically I do one session a week per student. Two sessions a week is possible. I do give homework, but it is very manageable and not too time consuming.
