Fundamentals for Drawing and Other 2D Art Forms

All parts of two dimensional art are based in the core components of shape, line, form, color, texture, value, and rhythm. This class will serve as a crash course in how to identify the parts of a whole subject and translate it into whichever medium you wish to try.

Class time will be spent constructing subjects using shape, exploring forms of still life's, implementing and explaining the use of references, understanding basic lighting and shadow, applying line weight, understanding basic color theory, and sharing techniques used to successfully portray an artistic subject.

The lessons are suited for absolute beginners, people wanting to try a new hobby or grow a passion. More experienced artists will also be able to participate by having a positive environment for constructive critiques, to enhance their skills and techniques, or to simply seek advice and communication with a fellow artist.

Extra information

Bring any materials you might require for your medium of choice, e.g. paints, brushes, charcoal, drawing tablet etc.
Traditional art will require at least a basic HB or B pencil (a full range of pencils is recommended), an eraser, and a sketchbook/paper/canvas.
Digital art will require your drawing device and program of your choice.
If there is a specific artistic subject or reference you wish to focus on, please bring all related materials.

About Me

Hello! I am an Artist from South Africa currently based in the U.S.A! I have a wide range of skills and experience in multiple different artistic mediums (pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, oil paint, acrylics, watercolor, digital design, ceramics, papier mache, and more!).

I particularly enjoy teaching to students with a definite passion for their subject. Enthusiasm and openness are huge defining traits for me, I enjoy sharing my time and abilities with those who share an eagerness to improve and experience the joy of creating. I am dedicated to helping students improve through constructive critiques as well as promoting growth and enjoyment.

My teaching style is quite loose and based on the student's goals, expectations, experience, and medium. I do implement structure and planning but am flexible when it comes to making adjustments. I try to make the more 'boring' subjects entertaining and creative, what 'still life' wouldn't be improved with a dragon?

I welcome everyone from beginners with no experience in art but want to try out a new hobby or skill, to seasoned artists who just need a space for critiques and advice!

Online drawing class - Technics & imagination - all publics
I’m a drawing teacher and artist living in Paris. Since 6 years, I provide drawing class to many publics, from school to urban sketching sessions.

My teaching program is always a combination of those elements.

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.

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 :)
