Online privéles Basiscursus Mandala tekenen. (Google Meet)
course price icon
From 40 € /h
arrow icon
De cursus is een Basiscursus en geschikt voor de beginnende als gevorderde tekenaar.
Tijdens de lessen werk je met eenvoudige basismaterialen en in het begin voornamelijk met kleurpotlood om je mandala’s uit te werken. De materialen en hun gebruik ga ik uitgebreid aan je uitleggen.
Naast het tekenen ga ik ook in op de voordelen van het tekenen van mandala’s en hoe je dit kunt gebruiken om jezelf beter te leren kennen en ontwikkelen. Van elke mandala ontvang je een beschrijving over wat er zichtbaar is geworden tijdens het tekenen. In de eerste les ga ik hier uitgebreid over vertellen.
Het is fijn om wat basismaterialen te hebben, daarvan ontvang je een lijst voor aanvang van je eerste les. Ook ontvang je na elke les een PDF met daarin alle behandelde stof, zodat je het later allemaal nog eens rustig kunt nakijken of op een later tijdstip weer kunt oppakken.


De basiscursus bestaat uit 9 lessen die per les anderhalf uur duren. Ook mag en kun je tussentijds altijd contact met me opnemen als er eventuele vragen zijn.

Er is ook de mogelijkheid om diverse vervolgcursussen te volgen na deze basiscursus. De mogelijkheden kunnen tijdens 1 van de laatste lessen besproken worden.
Extra information
Alle privélessen worden via Google Meet gegeven. Je moet dus beschikken over een laptop of computer met webcam en microfoon/geluid. Je ontvangt de toegangscode na het inplannen van de les(sen).

Ik ben een beeldend kunstenaar geboren in Barcelona, gevestigd in België sinds 2017. Als kunstenaar heb ik de afgelopen 25 jaar ervaring opgedaan. Ik ben afgestudeerd met een Academische Bachelor in Schone Kunsten aan de Universiteit van Barcelona en ben afgestudeerd als Master in Beeldende Kunsten aan de Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

Ik ben gespecialiseerd in schilderen, tekenen, experimentele films, installaties, taal, geluid en cureren. Met andere woorden, ik ben een multidisciplinaire kunstenaar.

Ik begrijp de artistieke praktijk als een manier om onszelf en de situaties om ons heen te begrijpen. In mijn lessen leer ik niet hoe je kunst moet doen, maar hoe je iets moet zeggen door je artistieke werk. Bij mij kun je zelfstandig werken, met een coach die je uitdaagt met enkele opdrachten en feedback geeft op je persoonlijke zorgen.

Daarnaast leer je werken met verschillende media, het voorbereiden van je eigen materiaal: schilderijen, doeken, enzovoort.

Je krijgt niet alleen individuele coaching, maar moedigt je ook aan om naar andere artiesten te kijken of rekening te houden met andere referenties die verband houden met je zorgen.

Samen oplossingen zoeken, bespreken en opnieuw nemen zijn de kern van mijn lessen.

The program is designed for students interested in concept art, illustration, visual storytelling, and portfolio preparation for art schools, animation/game-related programs, or independent artistic development. It follows a mentorship-based approach, combining artistic foundations, conceptual thinking, and portfolio strategy, adapted to everyone's style, vision and long-term goals.

What's in it?

PART I

1. Artistic & visual language

• Traditional drawing & illustration techniques
• Shape & form study
• Light, color & values
• Composition & visual storytelling

2. World-building & visual thinking

• Environment design (natural & built spaces)
• Props, objects, and visual detail
• Character concepts (anatomy basics, silhouettes, expression)
• Style exploration (realistic, stylized, symbolic, experimental)
• References vs originality: how to build from research without imitation

3. Cognitive & creative process

• Artistic thinking & workflow
• From idea to image
• Documentation & reference gathering

IMPORTANT!

All sections in Part I (artistic practice, visual language, world-building, technical and digital foundations) are approached according to the student’s existing level, from beginner to advanced. If foundational skills are already present, these areas will not be repeated mechanically; instead, the focus will shift toward portfolio development, conceptual depth, and refinement of existing work.

Lesson Overview

Who: Johannes – Brand owner and Central Saint Martins graduate with experience in celebrity dressing and industry experience in luxury couture houses

Techniques & methodology: Practice-led, studio-based teaching combining draping on the body, pattern making, sewing, and portfolio development, tailored to individual goals

Lesson length: Typically 90 minutes, allowing time for hands-on making, discussion, and feedback

Who the lessons are for: Students aged 16+, including foundation, BA, and MA applicants, as well as early-career designers seeking portfolio refinement or industry insight

Languages: English and German

Focus: University applications, professional portfolios, technical development, and understanding industry expectations

I am the founder of the fashion brand Johannes and an actively practising designer, bringing an industry-focused approach to teaching. I support students in developing strong, competitive portfolios for university applications and professional roles, with clear guidance on concept development, editing, and presentation aligned with current academic and industry expectations.

My professional work includes designing and dressing international artists such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Grimes, Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Rina Sawayama, and Post Malone for performances, editorials, and public appearances. This experience gives students direct insight into professional standards, timelines, and the realities of working under pressure within the fashion industry. My technical foundation is shaped by experience in couture and luxury fashion environments including Viktor&Rolf, Givenchy, Balmain, and bespoke tailoring ateliers.

My teaching covers draping, pattern making, sewing, and hand-based construction techniques, with a strong focus on fit, proportion, and translating ideas into technically resolved garments. I offer targeted guidance on what universities are looking for at foundation, BA, and MA level: from creative curiosity and process at foundation stage, to technical skill, concept development, and visual clarity at BA level, through to research depth, authorship, and critical positioning at MA level. I work closely with students to ensure their portfolios clearly communicate both creative identity and readiness for academic or professional progression. I am fluent in German and, with formal training in painting, can also support students in developing visual research, composition, and fine art–led portfolio work where relevant.

Le "dessin industriel" ou "dessin technique", manuel ou assisté par ordinateur (DAO, CAO...),
est avant tout un langage ou un outil de communication graphique avec des règles précises.
Ce langage, en grande partie normalisé internationalement (ISO : International Standard
Organization), peut être considéré comme un langage universel employé de la même façon
partout dans le monde.
Le dessin industriel est utilisé par les techniciens, les ingénieurs et les concepteurs pour passer
de l'idée d'un produit à sa conception et à sa réalisation. Tous les produits, machines et
systèmes divers sont d'abord conçus et définis graphiquement avant d'envisager leur
fabrication.

Le "dessin industriel" ou "dessin technique", manuel ou assisté par ordinateur (DAO, CAO...),
est avant tout un langage ou un outil de communication graphique avec des règles précises.
Ce langage, en grande partie normalisé internationalement (ISO : International Standard
Organization), peut être considéré comme un langage universel employé de la même façon
partout dans le monde.
Le dessin industriel est utilisé par les techniciens, les ingénieurs et les concepteurs pour passer
de l'idée d'un produit à sa conception et à sa réalisation. Tous les produits, machines et
systèmes divers sont d'abord conçus et définis graphiquement avant d'envisager leur
fabrication.

Hi, I'm Thaís from Brasil :) I teach with patience and a personalized approach, focusing on each student’s specific challenges. I draw and paint alongside my students, making the learning process clearer, more accessible, and more engaging. My classes use dynamic methods and explore a wide range of drawing and painting techniques, including color studies, sketching, scale, depth, light and shadow, and perspective.

I work with simple and effective methods that sharpen visual perception and develop a deeper understanding of color, form, and texture. My goal is to help students build confidence in their creative abilities, even if they already have basic skills, are complete beginners or aspiring professionals.

Class content (fundaments):

Introduction to essential materials.
Perception of shapes and basic structures.
Proportion and shading studies.
Perspective techniques.
Creation of artistic compositions.
