Hello,

Being certified of the ECG in the Visual Arts section and having followed the majority of my schooling in this field, I wish to give drawing lessons to those who wish to improve in this field.

I offer courses of all kinds, according to the desires and the level of each one. I can teach you the techniques of sketching, observation and reporting in 2D and 3D, notions of perspectives, light and shadow, proportions like those of the human body, etc.

I want to give my lessons in a feeling of sharing knowledge acquired during my studies, moving away as far as possible from a school atmosphere. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to learn the specifics of drawing this way.

Of course, I am happy to adapt to the demands and expectations of my students.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

Good day to you

Hello
I have been a student in an artistic course for 7 years and I regularly use InDesign to compose files, portfolios, event posters, CVs, or other types of visual aids. I therefore offer my help to help you get started with this software, whether for the first steps or possibly to continue an apprenticeship already started.

Art and interior design go hand in hand.
Artwork should seamlessly blend with the space while showcasing the client’s personality.
However, incorrect placement within the interior can result in an unbalanced space and diminish the artwork’s aesthetic appeal.
Let’s explore ways to enhance interior aesthetics.

Whether your interest revolves around photography, graphics or any form of visual creation, the concept, the overall vision of the project is often difficult to implement. I offer you a follow-up, a sharing of ideas tailored to your current project, as a starting point or in re-mastering.

My technical skills can also be allies in our discussions so that you can push your creative subject beyond its limits, make it grow and find the most appropriate end point for the message you wish to convey.

You are on a mandate but need an external point of view, this course can be a good step back to move forward with more confidence.

As a qualified interior designer, I offer hand drawing and sketching classes for all levels. Drawing is an essential skill in my profession, but it's also a passion I've cultivated since childhood.
With my experience in architecture and design, I can help you improve your graphic design skills or develop a new artistic hobby. My classes are personalized and can cover several aspects: proportions, perspective, composition, color, speed drawing, and, above all, confidence in your technique.
Whether you're a beginner, a student, or a drawing enthusiast, I adapt to your desires and pace. Classes can focus on observational sketching, imagination, or even projects related to architecture and interior design.
Classes can also be adapted for children, to encourage their creativity, develop their sense of observation and their artistic skills in a fun and progressive way.
