Juan Martinez, an internationally renowned master painter from Canada, is celebrated for his classical technique, portrait commissions, and work with public figures. He spent years teaching at the prestigious Academy of Realist Art (ARA) in Toronto, guiding aspiring artists with refined skill and deep insight into the traditions of fine art.

Now, in partnership with Tina Gleason, Juan Martinez is offering exclusive online art classes, including personalized critiques and expert instruction. These classes are available by request for students seeking individual growth in painting and drawing.
