About Paul
I have been a professional artist for forty years. It is what I was brought up to do by parents who were both artists. Nevertheless, I studied fine art at university in the early 1980s but failed to finish a degree. My thirst for learning, however, drew me back to higher education and I intend to defend my doctoral dissertation this year. Its subject is Art in the Dutch Golden Age with a focus on Rembrandt's materials & techniques. I have authored a book on the History of Art Theory and my life as a freelance artist: painter, sculptor, and printmaker, has exposed me to wide spectrum of creative projects & a great variety of media. My approach to art history is global, every art movement was influenced by sociological, economic, political, philosophical, scientific (et. al.) factors that can help us understand art as a manifestation of general culture. I look forward to sharing what I know with you :)

I tailor my lessons in response to my students' curiosity. You might hire me to help you paint or draw better, but if you show interest, our conversation can roam among, art history, art theory, analysis, and art appreciation—where I guide your eye to better understand what makes history's renowned artists, great.
I can lecture on a subject but prefer discussion dotted by your questions. For studio art, from drawing and painting to sculpting and printmaking, I will do demonstrations & offer constructive critiques for your work.
I am as happy teaching an enthusiastic beginner as I am to plumb the depths in my areas of expertise with experienced painters or postgrad students alike.

Paul Herman has spent his entire life dedicated to learning both traditional and cutting edge painting and sculpting techniques. He has amassed a wealth of knowledge to share as a teacher. Having grown up in a home in Florence, Italy, where both parents were dedicated artists studying the masters. As an adult he pursued every possible avenue of learning including his PhD as well as apprenticeships. He was immersed from childhood in the wonderful world of art. It is evident in his skills and knowledge. I highly recommend him as a teacher with vast knowledge
I’ve known Paul as an artist & teacher for 49 years. The simple reason he is such an excellent teacher of art practice & history, is because he never stops learning, & he Greer stops asking questions.
This quality translates to his individual, studio art students as well as in a classroom experience, and makes him a valuable & trusted faculty member.View more recommendations
