Course of discovery and improvement of oil painting

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I teach oil painting in Geneva in a spirit of discovery and sharing and in the warm atmosphere of my workshop in Carouge.

For beginners, we approach the discovery of oil painting by mastering the material (support linen, paint tubes, painting knife, medium to paint) and mastery of colors.

I guide step by step my students in the realization of a still life, which is the best exercise to tame the oil painting, learn to handle brushes and brushes, manage the doses of paint on the canvas, mix and apply the colors.

We then work on topics of your choice such as landscapes and seascapes. The goal is to learn how to work with backgrounds and color gradients, paint skies, the sea and clouds, learn to master the light and represent the shadows. It is also a matter of constructing one's painting by applying the great principles of composition and the rules of perspective.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Passionate about oil painting, I like to share my knowledge and accompany my students in the realization of their artistic project. My goal is to make art accessible to everyone and that everyone can afford a creative parenthesis.

Here are 3 good reasons to start a painting class in 2018:

1. For a moment of conviviality and good mood
The warm atmosphere of the Atelier in Carouge allows us to learn and create in a good mood. The colors of our palettes brighten up our week!

2. To quickly master the basic techniques of oil painting
After a first course entirely dedicated to the control of colors, I guide step by step the students in the realization of a 1st still life. Contrary to popular belief, oil painting is an easy medium to use and offers great freedom of expression.

3. For the immense satisfaction of realizing one's own work of art!
After 4 sessions, each beginner has finished his first painting and has adapted the basic techniques of oil painting. For intermediate students, it is always very rewarding to progress in mastering techniques and composition.

Education

Trained for over ten years at the Atelier du Passage in Paris, I explored various registers with my different masters:
- the control of colors, in the manner of the 17th century, with Georges Faget-Bénard,
- painting with a knife,
- the work "alla prima" with the talented Jean Arcelin,
- outdoor painting with Stéphane Ruais, painter of the Navy and the Air Force,
- composition and work after living model with Christophe Thiry, school Barbizon and painter of the Air Force.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
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.

Drawing and Painting Lessons: Developing Your Unique Visual Language
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.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic language
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 :)

Online drawing course for children aged 5 to 12 years
Online course via Zoom or Google Come on, let me tell you what are the benefits of drawing for children at this young age? Drawing is beneficial for children's mental health. It is an ideal activity for developing their motor and mental skills and enhancing their exploratory, psychological and emotional growth. - It increases children's ability to interact naturally without caring about other people's opinions about the drawings they draw. -It eliminates the constant feeling of shyness and increases self-confidence. - Enhances the mind's ability to communicate with others without using words.

Online Resin and Texture Art classes. From beginner to Pro approach.
I am an experienced texture art tutor, specializing in resin, acrylic colors, acrylic paste, and white cement techniques. Over the years, I have successfully trained students of different skill levels, helping them refine their artistic abilities and develop their unique styles. My work has been well-received in the art community, and I have conducted numerous workshops focused on creative expression through texture and resin art. My approach is interactive and hands-on, ensuring that students get a practical learning experience rather than just theoretical knowledge. I believe in personalized guidance, where each student’s artistic journey is nurtured. Whether in 1-on-1 sessions or group classes, I encourage active participation, providing clear demonstrations and detailed feedback to help students master resin and texture art techniques with confidence. I conduct online classes via Zoom or other platforms, ensuring a highly interactive and engaging learning experience. My teaching style focuses on two-way communication, where students can freely ask questions and receive real-time feedback. Depending on students' preferences and time zones, I offer both 1-on-1 and group sessions to cater to different learning needs. While resin and texture art are open to all learners, I recommend my classes for adults aged 18+ due to the use of chemicals and materials that may not be suitable for children.

Realistic drawing, academic drawing, figurative drawing
Contrary to popular belief, realistic drawing will never be outdated, not because of some strange fixation in academic art, but because of its usefulness in a huge variety of tasks that are or are not related to the art field. To me, more than anything, realistic drawing offers an explanation of the world that is somehow shoothing and fulfilling.
