Experienced tutor in Drawing in Washington, Jon-Joseph offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Jon-Joseph is a an incredible sculptor and teacher. He helped me learn to sculpt a self portrait, use the tools of a sculptor and think in an entirely different way about perspective and how to work on a piece. He is extremely personable and easy to learn from and I really benefitted from my classes with him. I would recommend taking workshops and classes with him.

I typically don’t write reviews, but for this guy I had to. I initially was apprehensive because I hadn’t touched art professionally in a long time. He was very patient and thorough from the very beginning. I will be continuing to receive courses from him going forward, because the transition back in was so easy. He has returned my inspiration.

I liked the way Jon-Joseph taught to look and see the figure pointing out the lines and curves that wait to be discovered. Also, the freedom that was given to explore and experiment.

The instructor is a very passionate, skilled sculptor who is able to apply his experience in his teaching and who really cares about assisting his students in achieving an understanding of the material presented.

Jon Joseph is an excellent artist and an inspiring teacher. His classes are challenging however with his support nothing is out of reach. I enjoyed every assignment, both working from models and still life. I highly recommend StudioRussoLLC. You will see the improvement in your craft and will not be disappointed.

Russo’s method of teaching. When working with clay you can keep adding, or start from a big piece and carve it out. The latter is what he teaches, and it is much more exciting and creative. Also more difficult but, as such, more rewarding. I liked this approach as it is conceptually close to the process of carving from marble.
