Art Skills essential for beginners. Including drawing, painting and design basics.

35 £ /h

Basic Art materials and drawings/painting knowledge are essential for your beginning in the art industry. As soon as you start to develop more skills better prepared you will be for your future career. My path as an artist, graphic designer, and art tutor started when I was in primary school. I have a solid background in Fine art and graduate Master in Art teaching back in 2013. I believe that everyone needs support and practice in their early stage of education outside of the classroom. This course will give you the most important information, skills, and knowledge that you need to clarify further steps in your Art and design career.

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.

For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine?

Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters?

If you have those concerns, I would love to help you.

I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels.

I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story.

I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French.

I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!

As a multidisciplinary artist, I believe that strong digital work is rooted in traditional mastery. This course combines the tactile logic of oil painting and watercolors with the power of Photoshop and digital design. We begin with the core fundamentals, anatomy, still life, and composition before transitioning those skills into the digital space.

You will learn to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, and apply color with intention. We move beyond simple tutorials to tackle character design, surreal environments, and professional workflows. By the end of this course, you will have a body of polished, original work and a deep understanding of the design fundamentals that make an image successful in any medium.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

Do you have ideas, texts, or memories lying dormant in your drawers or on your computer?

Are you passionate about writing, active in an association, or simply curious to understand current developments?

I will support you in transforming these desires into concrete achievements.

The digital world is evolving rapidly, and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can fascinate, impress, or even worry. When used properly, it's a powerful tool for creating, organizing, and expressing yourself. Whether you want to stay current or fulfill a long-held creative dream, technology can be a driving force for your projects.

What I wish to offer you (my methodology):

My role is not to do things for you, but to give you the tools to become independent. My approach is based on:
- Project-based learning: we don't learn for the sake of learning, we learn to achieve.
- Clarity: no unnecessary technical jargon. I explain concepts with simple words and concrete images.
- Critical thinking: I help you use AI consciously, understanding its limitations and always keeping your personal touch.
- Patience: we progress at your pace, on your equipment, in a spirit of kindness and exchange.

Specific examples of what we can accomplish together:

- For writing: have you written memoirs or stories? Let's use AI to correct the style, create a professional layout and finalize the story.
- For image and sound: bring your stories to life by creating unique and original illustrations, podcasts, or music.
- For everyday life: mastering communication tools (social networks, websites) to promote an association or a personal project.
- For exploration: learn to "chat" with an AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) to conduct in-depth research or organize a complex trip.

The zero-click search era is no longer a future prediction—it is our current reality. With over 60% of web searches ending without a single click, traditional SEO strategies, keyword rankings, and legacy traffic funnels are rapidly becoming obsolete. In this AI-mediated world, discovery happens inside the "dark funnel" of large language models, where platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews act as the primary interface for your audience.

Your new digital currency is no longer the website click; it is the AI citation.

This masterclass is designed for executives, digital transformation leaders, and marketing strategists who want to pivot from obsolete traffic metrics to AI visibility. Participants will learn how generative engines parse, prioritize, and select the brands they trust. We will break down real data from millions of AI responses to uncover the exact profile of content these models prefer—focusing on open, structured knowledge hubs, informative comparative assets, and definitive educational content.

Move beyond fighting for vanishing organic traffic. Learn how to optimize your digital infrastructure for AI extraction, position your brand as an authoritative industry source, and build lasting consumer trust in a world where the machine is the interface.
