Are you dreaming of creating paintings that are colourful and vibrant — with just the right balance of realism and expression?
Paintings that feel classical yet contemporary, visually appealing, and emotionally impactful?
You’re in the right place.
I’ve been chasing that very dream for sixteen years — pushing the boundaries of realism, experimenting with both traditional and unconventional approaches, until I developed a method that completely transformed my art and my career.
Inside Rosso Art School, I teach artists to do the same — to balance skill and intuition, precision and expression, until their paintings reach that magical point where everything begins to flow effortlessly.
Explore my Programs below
If your main goal is to refine your realist and portraiture skills while also experimenting with colour, texture, and unconventional compositions, your best choice is the Complete or Master Path.
The Complete program is stream-only, while the Master Path offers additional topics, live classes, and group critiques for deeper, ongoing growth:
COMPLETE Program
stream-only
Go from portrait to full painting.
Move beyond technique and start building expressive, abstract-figurative works.
Follow my full curriculum — from realistic skin tones to textured grounds and composition — and learn to merge realism with free expression.
MASTER PATH
Most Popular ⭐️ Stream + Live
Enrich your learning with monthly live group sessions — where we meet, explore new topics, share our work, ask questions, receive feedback, and grow together. The Master Path is the closest you can get to a real in-person art school — from the comfort of your own studio.
"One year ago when I began, I would never have thought I would be able to paint like I do today. You’ve given me the foundation I needed to take my work to another level. Thank you so much!"
Nathalie Fortier (Master Path)
"Thanks a lot for your classes! I'm definetely finding my own style thanks to you! ... I always feel stuck with the background but creating texture and patterns with stencils spoke to me. Also, simplifying my palette realizing that just a touch of right colour could cool everything down changed my approach"
Saniya (Paris) - Complete Program

START Program

"Rosso’s delicate application of color and calm, guiding presence allowed the painter in me to re-emerge after years away from the easel ... After art school, motherhood, and even spinal surgery, I thought my painting days were behind me — until Rosso’s mentoring reignited my passion and gave me purpose again"
Paula Michele Wagoner (Florida)
"Hey Rosso! First, I want to thank you for the great program...You have influenced me and my work in such a positive and fulfilling way. Thank you so much"
Fritz Fostner (Germany)
"Rosso is able to work individually with each person and gets a feeling for what your strengths are and help you improve in places where you are struggling" (Nicky is a portrait now photographer incorporating painting into her practice!)
Nicky Stefanelli (California)
What I wanted to express is my big thanks to you for two main things: that I learned so much and that you give me a unbelievable great motivation to paint in every free minute / hour (beside my fulltime job)
Martina S. (Master Path)
"Many thanks for making me see and understanding painting" (Gabriela's holding her first expressive portrait in oil painted using my 3-steps method!)
Maria Gabriela S (NY)
Here's a small preview of the wonderful works created by artists after joining my programs:
I’m Rosso — painter, educator, and founder of Rosso Art School.
After years chasing perfection, I developed a method that bridges classical realism and expressive abstraction.
My work has been exhibited internationally (MEAM Museum, Mall Galleries, Soho House Collection ) and featured by Colossal, My Modern Met, and International Artist Magazine, The Artist Magazine (UK). I’ve also appeared twice on Sky Portrait Artist of the Year; been finalist in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize and ModPortrait, and won Jackson’s Painting Prize and the Women in Art Prize.
I now share my work and teaching with a community of over 180K artists and art lovers on Instagram — and through my school here.
My art has been featured by leading art institutions, international art magazines and galleries, including:
