The freedom of creativity is the most attractive way of self expression. However, to achieve the mastery to utilise consciously and productively this freedom, with both joy and confidence, with value and satisfaction, you need to have the 'tools' and attain certain skills to guide, facilitate, and uncover your potential. A grate achievement could not be done without breaking the rules, but to break the rules convincingly and doubtlessly, you first need to learn, acknowledge, and understand their natural laws and traditions.
Therefore, I am inviting to my tutorial classes, where online or in person, on beginner or advanced level, you will meet and learn the basic and most important skills of Drawing and Painting systematically through observation and references. You will practice and experiment to fully master a medium or a technique, will support your practice with Art and Colour theory, Perspective, and History of Art, in order to start easily drawing yourself, interpreting a favourite scene or a subject on a paper or canvas, and will create you diverse and appealing collection of artworks with attention, imagination, and excitement.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced, and whatever your motivations (personal, professional or school ...), I offer you a tailor-made education. We will start by establishing a program together during your 1st lesson, according to your needs and interests.

My offer :

- Face-to-face AND/OR virtual classes at a fixed time and in real time, according to your needs. Virtual classroom sessions are recorded and available for review only by students.
- A qualified and experienced illustrator artist teacher at the service and listening to the student.
- A frequently updated shared space (google drive) containing all the necessary documentation and tools available to students who wish to continue their practice outside of class hours.

• Special > For students interested in art and design schools:
I offer accelerated training, as well as assistance in building the portfolio and preparation for interviews (On request).
• Special > For professionals and future professionals in fine crafts & Designer:
I offer training in drawing and color techniques as well as tailor-made courses applied to your professional field (On request).

Thematic courses of 5 half-days during school holidays.

Timetable:

I am available on weekdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. to give you private lessons, but also on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for lessons in small numbers (maximum 3 students per slot), for those who appreciate sharing and stimulation of the group while maintaining the rapid progress dynamic of a small class.
My schedule remains quite flexible, however, so do not hesitate to tell me your preferences to reserve the right slots for you.

My methodology is simple:

Thanks to a first preliminary telephone or video meeting with the student (and a parent if the student is a minor) I begin to identify the questions, needs and objectives of the student in order to establish a program.
This program will be refined as the course progresses according to the centers of interest and qualities revealed by the student.
My teaching is progressive. I take the student where he is in his practice and pull him up, to the maximum of his abilities, whatever the medium chosen: pencil, brush, graphics tablet...
To maintain his motivation, I punctuate the student's program with inspiring and stimulating subjects related to his interests, such as the drawing of his own comic strip / manga, OR, the printing of his 3D figurine.

Course operation:

Because we do not all progress in the same way, I propose 2 different modes of operation.
During a lesson:
- The student works on original subjects and application exercises, edited by myself and adapted to the student and his program.
WHERE
- The student expresses the need to be helped/guided on a specific creative project of his initiative, or a subject of his school's visual arts lesson, at the start of the lesson. In which case, I bring him as many keys as possible (methodology, references, documentation and techniques) until the end of his project.
Of course, the mode of the course can change from one course to another in order to alternate rigor and freedom of experimentation.
At the end of the session, I take stock with the student of what has been done, must be continued and addressed soon. He/She can contact me between 2 sessions if necessary.
For parents / guardians of minor students, I offer a quarterly report on the progress of their child / tutee. It is also possible for them to come and talk to me at the end of the course or to contact me during the week by email or telephone.
Minimum age: 11 years old - No maximum age.

Feedback:

Minor students and parents
Many families with children requiring a different pace from that offered by their schools say that my classes have greatly helped them, first of all to quickly feel more confident. Similarly, precocious children find here the intellectual nourishment that they sometimes lack in the teaching received in class.
What I have observed that is obvious about my private lessons and in small groups is that the student develops:
- his autonomy, because he takes the time for self-correction.
- his commitment, because by advancing at his own pace he really becomes an actor in his learning.
- his disinhibition (vis-à-vis the teacher, parents, and classmates for students in small classes), by granting him a neutral space/time for experimentation without competition or judgment.

Amateur Adults
What has struck me the most over the last few years while following active adults working in sectors not directly linked to creative activities, is the need to discover or accomplish something new and the desire to share. This is why each year is a new adventure full of projects of all kinds, but sometimes also hard work!... depending on your characters and objectives...

Professionals and future professionals Crafts & Designer
In artistic professions, crafts, or any other design activity, the ability to express and represent quickly and effectively all or part of a 2-dimensional concept is very useful, even essential.
The greater the professional designer's mastery of these arts and techniques, the more eloquent his future representations, sketches, scenarios, projections, will be, whether presenting a project to a client, a colleague or set a stage, a model. This is why I adapt my teaching of drawing and color (perspective, representation of plans, volumes, textures, colored harmonies, ...) to the specific needs of the professionals who approach my course, whether they are designers of interior designers, graphic designers, fashion designers, landscape designers, architects, or decorative painters. And so far, everyone has been satisfied!

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. 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.

Watercolor is a fascinating technique, but it can be demanding and often feels unpredictable. In these in-studio classes, we will approach watercolor as a relationship between water, pigment, and paper. You will learn to predict and control the medium—and, once you've mastered that, to use it more spontaneously.

I teach a solid, step-by-step method to build a watercolor painting from the ground up. We will explore a range of techniques (working on dry paper, on wet paper, glazing (velatura), creating textures, etc.) as well as brushstroke fundamentals. Along the way, I'll share practical suggestions and tips I've gathered from my own teachers and years of practice.

The class focuses on the technical aspects of watercolor: controlling the medium and consciously achieving the desired figuration. It is through this deep, hands-on knowledge that a more expressive dimension of the practice can naturally emerge.

We will cover key topics such as values, temperature (warm-cold contrast), and color theory.

This class is open to both beginners and advanced painters who wish to refine their technique. A basic foundation in drawing is highly recommended for the initial sketch. Each lesson includes all necessary supply materials.

Discover the basics of pencil drawing and learn how to create expressive and realistic drawings using simple techniques!
In this class, you will explore line, shading, proportions, light and shadow, and texture while learning how to observe and translate what you see onto paper. We will work step by step, starting with basic exercises and gradually moving towards a finished drawing.
The class is suitable for beginners as well as those who already have some drawing experience. You will receive individual guidance throughout the process and learn how to develop your own drawing skills and confidence.

The core of this mentorship focuses on capturing form, light, and subject matter—including human anatomy, portraiture, figure study, landscape, and still life. You will gain direct visual command over your subjects, learning to render seamless halftones and lifelike skin textures whether working from live studio setups, Old Masters, photographs, or en plein air.

Structured Layering & Classical Methods

To bring your vision to life, we build each piece through proven historical methods. You will start with structural underpaintings using charcoal, pastel, tempera, or oil, before advancing into multi-layered glazes (Old Masters technique) and expressive, direct Alla Prima painting.

Material Chemistry & Archival Craft

Finally, you will master the essential technical foundation required for museum-level durability. This covers everything from stretching custom canvases and selecting thread weights to preparing specialized gesso primers, controlling oil chemistry (linseed, walnut), and applying final archival varnishes.
