Meet Your Instructor
My name is Livia Dias and I've had a passion for painting from a very young age. I've been a professional artist and art tutor since 2000. Painting and helping people discover their potential, develop their skills to paint and create works of art that they are proud of are my passion.
I started my training with my uncle, who is a professional artist and runs an art school in Brazil. From him, I learned the fundamentals of painting. That is one of the most important skills a painter should develop if they want to take their painting to the next level. From Old Masters to Impressionism and Contemporary styles, I had the opportunity to learn a variety of media and techniques along my career that have provided me with a good foundation and experience to share with my students.
After ten years teaching in my home country Brazil, where I completed my training in art, I decided to quit my Art Tutor position in 2009 and experience life overseas. After researching some destinations, I fell in love with pictures of New Zealand's stunning scenery. My husband and I packed our bags and bikes and off we went to New Zealand.
This was a bold move! It changed everything in our lives and set me on the path I am today - painting, selling my art through galleries and my website and helping people discover their potential, develop their skills to paint and create works of art that they are proud of.
I am so grateful to see my students growing in their art and amazed on how popular and sought after my classes have become along all these years.
Nowadays I have my own studio in New Zealand where I run workshops and work on my own art and online business.
And guess what, the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is that you don't need to be born a genius or have a professional art degree to change your life and follow your creative passions... You need to have a strong desire to learn and practice what you've learned to get better and better. Being an artist is a journey and once you understand the fundamentals of painting in depth, the sky is the limit as far as what you can achieve. And that right there is what inspired me to create online courses to help aspiring artists develop their skills to paint better and grow in their creative pursuit.
I hope you're as excited as I am for you to begin this painterly journey!
