Instruction

Wherever you are in your artistic journey, I would love to help you reach the next level. The training I received, that I pass on to my students, is in the academic tradition, which I learned from Jacob Collins and others at his Water Street Atelier. You can get closer to the quality of work you want by learning a proven method for drawing anything from life, gaining a better understand of form, and taking a common sense approach to color. I can help.

I am now accepting private students who wish to meet in person in the Austin, TX area, as well as those who would rather meet online (Zoom) .

Danny Grant is one of the finest teachers I have ever studied with. I have steadily studied under him for over four years. His instruction has been pivotal in my own work. I’ve always found him to be clear, detail oriented, patient and sincere with his critiques. His very effective form based approach has its roots in the French academies of the past. Danny has unfaltering faith in every student’s ability to comprehend and execute ideas through their work. This consequently translates itself into stunning progress of his students. I would very highly recommend him to anyone who is seriously interested in furthering their drawing and painting skills at any point in their lives.

I’ve been working with Danny for over a year now and I’ve seen a tremendous amount of improvement. Classically trained at one of the country’s premier ateliers, Danny’s a great instructor. His instruction is based on foundational drawing and painting principles that have been practiced for centuries and can be applied to all types of artwork - portraiture, figurative, still life, landscape, etc. Danny clearly explains and demonstrates these principles and his feedback is always positive and focused on continue improvement. He’s exactly the type of instructor I was looking for.
