Basie Geerdts, a Johannesburg fine artist and graduate of the Johannesburg College of Art, gives lessons on how to draw and to do oil, acrylic, watercolor and pastel paintings.

Basie is s wonderfully kind, supportive person, a family man. He cares for his friends, students and family. He has a good work ethic, and shares all his knowledge generously. He is an excellent artist, so you would be learning from the best. I have known Basie since school days.
I wholeheartedly recommend Basie.

Basie is an amazing artist. I bought a painting from him that I absolutely love. He has an amazing talent for painting portraits - you can "see" a person's personality in his portraits. He is a friendly, gentle, giant of a man who loves being around people. I am sure that he would make a wonderful art tutor. His students would be learning their skills from one of the best artists that I know.

Basie is my husband and although I'm biased because of this, it is not the reason I recommend him as a tutor. He has a wealth of experience in drawing, painting and graphic design. He is the real deal. He says anyone can draw, as long as you are willing. It's about learning to see what is there. He can turn your talent into an undeniable skill, something you'll carry for life.

I have worked with Basie for many years at a design company called Trademark and then as a partner in our own design business called Gecho Design. He is a naturally talented artist and designer in his own right. He is very understanding of other people's needs and has a desire to help and change lives for the good. Basie does this through instruction / tutoring / mentoring in the skills of art and design. He is a family man with two daughters who he and his wife love dearly. I highly recommend him.
