Drawing, painting, comics and illustration lessons

From 21 £ /h

Graduated from a master's degree at La Cambre and a final year student at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, I offer a multidisciplinary pedagogy aimed at developing the curiosity of the student while improving his level in art. Through this desire to emulate, I would like to help the student as much as possible to find what they like in drawing and art in general, what are their zones of comfort but also of discomfort in order to be able, in the best of all, assert a graphic identity specific to oneself.
I am not particularly in an academic perspective, this no longer being the challenges of contemporary art. However, I think it is always good to invest in observation drawing because if there is not much sense in wanting to imitate nature, it is essential to have good bases to interpret it. , represent it.
I also offer courses in comics / graphic novels, learning to write stylistics and scriptwriting and drawing or painting. As for illustration, could offer books or stories to the student that should be illustrated, so as to stimulate literary curiosity while devoting himself to drawing.
So I would suggest to the student to create an artistic project or a comic strip in which he could flourish and be in contact with various drawing, painting or even writing techniques.

Extra information

I offer paper and pencils, I ask the student to bring any other material that would be useful to him such as brushes, paint, pastel, charcoal, etc.

About Me

I decided to become a private teacher for several reasons, obviously to finance my studies but also to take my first steps in the teaching profession, aspiring to exercise this profession after my studies.
I try to develop a pedagogy which is based on patience, curiosity, and fulfillment. I am not against a little rigor, but in no case should you teach something that does not please the student who must above all find an interest in his learning. My years as a youth worker have taught me to cope with various characters of children and adolescents, so I am not looking for a particular type of student, I adapt without worries.

As a professional painter and visual artist (academic studies in Florence, at the Van der Kelen Institute in Belgium, and at ENSAAMA in Paris), affiliated with the Maison des Artistes, I dedicate part of my time to teaching traditional academic techniques and providing individual artistic guidance. These demanding foundations form the essential basis for all artistic expression: realistic, abstract, or digital.

TARGET AUDIENCE
-Beginners, Amateurs
A step-by-step learning process to overcome apprehension and acquire a solid foundation for personal expression. Basic materials are provided to experiment and get started with confidence.

-Art school students
A complementary support to your course to fill the gaps in contemporary teaching and acquire the academic fundamentals that will give full visual force to your concepts and to enrich your diploma projects or your portfolio.

-Digital Artists
Come and unlock your technical levels in digital art through a rigorous relearning of traditional fundamentals: light, values, perspective and proportions.

-Professional artists
Consolidate and perfect your drawing and painting skills and applied guidance/masterclass to the realization of your artistic projects.

CUSTOMIZED TEACHING METHODOLOGY (1-TO-1 COURSES)
The teaching is strictly individual to guarantee progress at your own pace.
My progressive, observation-based teaching method is a synthesis of my artistic, personal and professional experiences and the different teaching methods I have encountered, notably the Bargue academic method of the Paris school practiced from 1880 to 1950.
Drawing and painting is about learning to look at reality, analyzing it and transcribing it from 3D to 2D.

THE FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT
Form (overall vision, simplification through geometrization, measurement)
Value (light analysis, volume rendering)
Colour (perception, analysis and mixing)

TECHNICAL LEARNING
-Drawing and painting tools: lead pencil, charcoal, oil paint (colors, binders, mediums), acrylic paint.
-The method: from sketch to finish, mastery of the limited palette, grisaille, and alla prima technique.
-The subjects: still life, plaster model, live model, outdoor, and copies of masters.

YOUR PROJECTS & PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
Depending on your level and needs, once the academic foundation has been validated or for already established artists, I offer three levels of intervention:

1. Regular Courses: Transmission of knowledge through theoretical and practical instruction. You practice and develop your eye in conjunction with your hand under my supervision.

2. Technical Coaching (Art Direction and Expert Advice): I act as an external consultant on your works in progress. Analysis of composition, color theory, choice of materials, assistance with research and validation of your processes.

3. The Project Masterclass: Technical demonstration and direct educational intervention on your artwork. I paint with you to help you overcome a complex technical hurdle (details, textures) and provide concrete assistance in completing your work.

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE SERVICE OF YOUR PROGRESSION
My teaching is grounded in solid practical experience. My past work in set design (film, theater, trompe-l'œil), in stained glass creation (Carmel of Paris, in partnership with Jean le Bideau, master glassmaker, and Tom Ho), and my experience as a graphic designer and artist's assistant have profoundly shaped my eye, my sensitivity to light, and my exacting standards regarding materials. It is this perspective of a craftsman and professional artist that I now offer you.

THE LOCATIONS: ARTIST'S STUDIO in Montreuil / POCKET STUDIO in Paris 15th
Lessons are given in my private 20m² studio, a 14-minute walk or 11-minute bus ride (Bus 122) from the Gallieni metro station - Line 3. It's a quiet workspace with a north-facing aspect, offering the constant and ideal natural light sought by painters. Alternatively, lessons are available in my smaller studio in the 15th arrondissement of Paris (2 minutes from the Cambronne metro station - Line 8).

Contact me to discuss your goals.

My courses are designed for adults, students, and young people alike who wish to develop their artistic practice and explore their ideas further. I would like to guide you in building your own artistic world by combining various techniques and knowledge, according to your needs. In my courses, I also offer instruction on how to talk about your own work and find the right words. My teaching approach is tailored to each student, whether they are in preparatory classes for art schools, studying art, are self-taught, or are a professional artist.
- Drawing
- Composition
- Photography
- Image processing (Photoshop)
- The history of art
- Conceptualization

I taught drawing and composition for several years at Gobelins, the School of Image (2020-2024), and was a mentor twice as part of the VU' Agency Mentorship Program (supporting a young photographer for a year - 2023 and 2025). I have also worked extensively with diverse audiences, from children to the elderly, notably in workshops conducted at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP).

I enjoyed my years teaching at the university level and working with groups, but today I prefer a more personal, targeted approach to my students through private lessons. I am caring, patient, demanding, and a great listener to the people I work with, regardless of their level or age.

Based on long-term experience among all audiences and in-depth knowledge of traditional or modern tools, I like to bring together all these areas to experience Art in its beautiful part of creation.

My course is focused on the desires for expression and research formulated by the students.
Nothing pleases me more than allowing you to access what attracts you most in the narrative image (comics, illustration, Concept Art).

We will address together both character issues (anatomy, stylization, etc.) and settings (perspective, landscapes, etc.).

I put the desire of my students at the heart of the learning process.

Having worked in an art studio where I gave lessons to children (from 6 to 13 years old), young teenagers (from 14 to 16 years old) and adults (all ages), I now offer my services to accompany your child or teenager in learning different drawing and painting techniques, and to give them the necessary tools to progress and practice independently.
Having studied art history, I like to propose themes by introducing an artistic movement or an artist within their context before tackling a practical subject. If the student prefers to focus solely on learning drawing or painting techniques, that is perfectly possible, although an artistic dimension will still be present, if only through images of artworks, which I consider important for illustrating the techniques.
I offer lessons with a minimum duration of one hour and, in order to promote effective progress, I favour working on the same theme and the same technique over several sessions, while adapting to the expectations and pace of the student.

A certain level of knowledge is required to begin.
I will guide you from A to Z in a creative, simple, and enjoyable training program. I didn't necessarily want to delve into the intention, but life offers a true learning experience along the way through art.

Each session is filled with artistic, creative, and relaxing techniques in a friendly and open-minded atmosphere. Furthermore, this course is an art therapy that helps you express yourself, relaxes you, builds your self-confidence, and is also fun.
