I focus on realism and detail, from proportion and shading to hyperrealism. My inspiration comes from artists like Emanuele Dascanio, and I aim to pass on those methods to students.
Art Classes Benoni – Art & Miniature Art
Welcome to my Art & Miniature Art page. I offer private art classes in Benoni for students aged 12 and up. Lessons are 1-on-1, focused on realism and miniature art. Alongside my teaching, this page also features my personal art journey and galleries of realism and miniature pieces.
Alongside teaching, I also showcase my miniature drawings. Many students from my art classes Benoni enjoy seeing how small-scale work can sharpen detail and patience.
Art Classes Benoni – Learn Realism & Miniature Art
I offer private 1-on-1 art classes in Benoni at R700 per hour, once a week. Classes are open to anyone aged 12 years and older. You will need your own supplies: a sketch pad, a set of graphite pencils (2H to 4B), blending stumps, a kneaded eraser, and a standard eraser. The focus is on building strong fundamentals while developing your own style.
Each session covers shape, shadow, proportions, and movement — the foundation of realism. Over time, we’ll refine detail, texture, and hyperrealistic drawing skills. My own inspiration for hyperrealism comes from artists such as Emanuele Dascanio, whose work drives me to push realism further.

Miniature Art by Carl Norton
Miniature art has become one of my favourite creative challenges. These small but detailed drawings push my skills in proportion, shading, and precision. You can view more miniature art on my Instagram: @carlnorton.art.
Standard Realism & Fine Art
I started drawing at 16 years old, sketching comic book and cartoon characters that taught me proportion, movement, and attention to detail. Over time I moved into realism and highly detailed work, with hyperrealism as my next goal.
My art focuses on realism, shadow, and form — turning everyday subjects into lifelike drawings. I love the challenge of detail, accuracy, and expression in every piece. I started drawing comics and cartoons as a teenager, and today my art classes Benoni focus on realism and hyperrealism inspired by artists like Emanuele Dascanio.
My Journey as an Artist
With nearly three decades of experience, I’ve explored many art styles — from comics and cartoons to realism and fine art. Each stage has shaped my understanding of technique and creativity.
Today, I focus on realism and hyperrealism, striving to capture detail and emotion in every piece. My work is influenced by artists such as Emanuele Dascanio, who inspired me to take realism to a higher level.
Whether through miniature art, realism, or teaching art classes, I aim to share my passion and skills with others who want to explore the world of drawing.
