TARGET AUDIENCE: Artist, designer, painter, art student, amateur with regular artistic practice.
I am a professional painter-plastic artist registered at the Maison des Artistes, I offer study sessions, exchanges and artistic sharing, to improve and consolidate your skills in drawing / painting according to observation.
A solid academic artistic foundation lays the foundation for personal artistic expression, realistic or abstract.

THE METHOD
Through personalized support, we will review the fundamentals of the practical techniques and academic bases of drawing and painting, from the research sketch to the finish, to adapt them to each of your projects and artistic achievements.
My progressive pedagogy is the synthesis of my artistic, personal and professional experiences and of the various pedagogies which I was able to approach in particular the academic method (BARGUE) of the school of Paris practiced from 1880 to 1950.

THE FUNDAMENTALS :
-THE SHAPE: Measurement (proportions), the basics of construction (simplification and geometrization of volumes, surfaces, plans; perspective)
-VALUES: Analysis of light and shadows, perception of values, differentiation of contours for a realistic rendering of volumes.
- COLOR: Perception, color analysis.

The different techniques and topics covered are:
-Drawing in graphite, charcoal... -
The painter's materials (colors, binders, mediums, brushes), the limited palette (learning to master his colors and mixtures), the progression of the work (from the sketch to the grisaille to the finish), alla prima technique (paint in the cool) ...

Examples of topics:
Paint compositions of objects (still life), spaces inside or outside (outdoors).
Copies, study after plaster model, live model ...

Drawing course - Observation and imagination

A graduate of Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2017, I specialize in observational drawing in public space.
My artistic practice brings sketching into dialogue with woodcut, painting and more recently writing.

At the same time, I pursue educational work with many audiences: private child/adult lessons, schools, technical and creativity initiation courses.
Whether it's weekly lessons or more specific sessions, I adapt to the rhythm, level and sensitivity of my students. The exercises are adapted to the creative singularity of each.

For beginners, the important thing is to gain confidence in your ability to observe, tell, let go. I attach great importance to the fact that the practice of drawing remains above all a pleasure!

Paris/near suburbs, lesson from 1h to 2h according to requests.

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.

(The price remains the same for upto three students during a session)

A nine-hour online workshop to explore your creativity and experiment with artistic techniques

This workshop, suitable for all audiences, is designed to experiment with and explore artistic techniques. The results will surprise you.

Any technique is an excuse to play, to break the rules, and to experiment. We should feel free to try without worrying about the final outcome. As an advocate of the creative process, I believe that the goal is not the result itself but rather an element we sometimes discover midway.

Unleash your unconscious and flow throughout the process, which, on this occasion, is more important than the final result. We will enjoy the journey because it is the only thing that truly matters.

In this workshop, we will express ourselves freely, release blockages, overcome fear to enhance our creative potential. We will also learn to break and discard the work we've done. And, of course, to have fun.
