Cristinao began his Art studies working under a local 'Maestro' in the Italian city of Arezzo at the age of 14.  That's where he learnt to paint in a traditional manner,  focusing particularly on portrait painting. He later continued his education at the Accademia Di Belli Arti in Florence. During this time he studied many established aspects of painting, including but not limited to; building and preparing a canvas from scratch, using mediums, pigments, mixing and applying paint, layers, brushstrokes, textures, light, realism, abstraction, movement, form and composition and the theory of painting.
In his work today he uses an array of techniques and materials, from the most traditional to more contemporary and unconventional.
He can tailor his teaching to the needs and challenges that are specific to you.  
Above all, he would do his best to make the class both entertaining and informative to help you get the most the out of painting and enjoy it as much as he does.
