Hello all ! 😊
I am the artist Axelle, a teacher for 10 years in Parisian workshops, universities and art schools as well as online for individuals.
Self-taught, I created an atypical method of learning drawing under intellectual protection: you will find all the information about my courses on my website, the address of which appears in the first photo of this ad. I can teach in French and English.


This method, developed during my years of teaching and the collaboration of students, includes, among other things, the study of drawing, painting, proportions, human expression, observation, colorimetry and even art. therapy and demystifies everything that our modern era brings bias to these practices. Simple, logical explanations free of any vague, subjective, elitist or hazardous artistic concepts, as well as a return to the essential framework.
The terms Art, Artist or Observation are redefined in a natural and factual space, all from a scientific and anthropological angle. The functioning of the brain, vision, the appreciation of distances, the evaluation of color, the appetite for texture and even the process of creativity are explained when necessary to set up a healthy experimental laboratory. and available to the student.
Graphic expression being a cognitive and psychomotor activity, it is essential to understand the tools at our disposal to use them better and clear communication between the teacher and the student is essential to transmit this know-how: hence the difficulty growing popularity of teaching a sensory practice simply via a book or to an audience of more than twenty students.
My approach is as follows: I am only the teacher of the moment and remain an eternal student, forever the sole disciple of experience. The same goes for my current students to whom I transfer the tools allowing them to become, in turn, their own teacher. Art requires flexibility of mind, self-knowledge, the abandonment of a certain struggle and the rigor that only a passion can give birth to without effort or constraints.
Once these basic lines have been mastered and the technical aspects assimilated, a wonderful power opens up to you: that of expressing yourself as close as possible to your inner self with the power and intensity that words cannot achieve, in the The primitive and faithful authenticity of what resides deep within your consciousness.
Human expression is the most dizzying of journeys.
To rub shoulders with Art is to build the ship that will take you there from the most watertight and robust wood.

Very or too often, I welcome adults or adolescents who are beginners in workshops to sincere questioning between themselves and Art. I take stock of the imaginary and unconscious barriers that today's ideas erect, and the notable waste that this can cause.

The most important tool in learning to draw remains Observation, too often underestimated, wrongly: this is why my unique method is modeled on our way of perceiving and thinking about the world. From the very first minutes, we focus on this tool which brings together 80% of our ability to draw, rather than a classic educational framework which will omit the human and neurocognitive aspect which is nevertheless crucial behind this practice.

So whatever your profession, your personality or your past, be sure to be legitimate in your first steps towards drawing or painting: no longer doubt the Artist within you.

Hello all :) !
I am the artist Axelle, a globetrotter for 10 years and bilingual in English: I offer personalized online private lessons (by Skype or telephone depending on preference) according to your level and your expectations/objectives. For the duration and frequency you want, I am available from Monday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The particularity of my profile comes from my permanent use of English in my life as a traveler and its adaptability in the real field, sometimes far removed from the academic verbal structures taught in school courses: in fact, in practice, many expressions litter international exchanges and oral communication is used differently depending on a professional, friendly or family context.
Being French, I can easily adapt to the natural difficulty that French speakers encounter when they try to learn English and transcribe French into another language: I am used to our difficulties and reluctance unlike a non-native teacher who could sometimes escape “French linguistic logic”.
This is also a plus for the youngest in the context of academic support, to teach them more easily functional but also social English in a fun way: by teaching them fluent English, their interest in learning becomes stronger because they measure the possible social opening available to them by mastering this language.
The important part of learning is also the accent and pronunciation, easily detectable among us when we practice another language: I could therefore teach you, like me, to confuse foreigners who will not hear the French accent when you speak English ;)

Wishing you all a great day and maybe, see you soon ;)!

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)
