Fine Art ~ Drawing and painting lessons for all levels

From 30 £ /h

Whether you want to pursue visual arts professionally or not, it is one of the best ways to express yourself creatively.

This course will teach you how to develop drawing and painting skills in various art mediums, along with references from art history so that you can freely express yourself.
The structure of the lessons can be modified according to the needs of the student, and can also included visits to museums and contemporary art exhibitions. With younger children or amateurs, we can delve into crafts, collage, sketching and doodling and for people with some experience we can think about more advanced painting compositions, even installation and basics of stop-motion animation.

However, it is not at all necessary to have a lot of knowledge of the visual arts, only curiosity and interest.

About Me

I am a visual artist based in Paris, France. I have obtained my DNAP (Diplôme national d'arts plastiques) from École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris. I work across a variety of mediums including Painting, Drawing, Fresco and Animation. I am also passionate about teaching and sharing what I do with a community of learners with the same curiosity.

I have studied and pursued visual arts starting from high school, having done the IGCSE and IB visual art course, and am currently practicing and learning at Beaux Arts de Paris. With this background, I am familiar with high school examinations, as well as the process of creating applications for university, and would love to help students with these goals.

I have also taught students from different fields and age groups - for example students doing their PHD in neuroscience at ICM Paris, as well as primary school children. And so it is not important to have prior experience in the arts for my lessons, interest and motivation are enough as a starting point.

I am also passionate about the English language; I have experience in teaching English to non-English speakers, integrating visual arts, storytelling and creative writing in my teaching methods.

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.

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.
