"While Formato’s animated hands work the air like she’s painting, my husband Alex browses art and our pup curls up on a comfy sofa. It’s tempting to linger here all day."

1-on-1 Art Lessons
Description
Lily Formato offers individualized art instruction designed to cultivate creative confidence and technical skill. Drawing from years of teaching experience and formal training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA, Painting & Ceramics, 2025), Lily guides students through the full creative process—from concept to completion—using a hands-on, exploratory approach rooted in contemporary art practice.
Lessons are available both in-person at Formato Fine Arts in Wytheville, VA, and online for remote learners. Instruction can be tailored to beginners seeking foundational skills or advanced artists refining their voice. Lily’s teaching emphasizes experimentation, problem-solving, and the value of trial and error as tools for discovery.
Students explore painting, ceramics, and mixed media techniques while learning how to develop a sustainable, personal creative practice. Workshops often integrate elements of improvisation and storytelling, encouraging authentic expression and intuitive decision-making.
Whether your goal is to deepen technical skills, build a portfolio, or reconnect with your creativity, Lily’s lessons provide a supportive and dynamic environment for artistic growth.
