Trusted teacher: Drawing courses with a unique approach. You'll be amazed at how quickly you level up! For over 10 years, I have been developing a method that allows my students to learn observational drawing at record speed. Through pictorial and observational exercises, my students become adept at drawing *any and all* observational subjects in: 4 months with 1 day/wk classes at 4 hrs/day 2 weeks at 6 days/wk classes at 6 hrs/day . Please choose one of the two courses: >> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (B/W): If you don't know how to draw, pick this one. If you "know how to draw except for" portraits/perspective/etc, this is the best program for you too. (details below) >> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING: If you can draw anything from observation, but want to understand how color works, pick this one. If your goal is to make oil paintings and you already know how to draw, this is your program too. (details below) . >> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (black/white) << For those who want to learn drawing or those who want to improve their drawing skills quickly *Observational Drawing Topics*: Line quality Drawing the hand Using negative space in drawing and in composition Making strong compositions Measuring sizes and angles Drawing plants and furniture Drawing the human figure Shading methods Drawing perspective Drawing with light Composing with light Drawing the interior Drawing the face, proportions Drawing light and shadow Portraiture Materials used: Graphite, Charcoal, Markers/India ink, paper Since this is a technique class, I recommend that you take at least 4 hours/week to be able to experience your improvement class by class. If you wish to take less hours, please note that with a 2 hours/day course, you will complete the program in 10-12 months, which will be caused by not gaining enough momentum during class time. >> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING << For those who want to learn color in representational art. Become skillful at using color in your works. *Color Observational Drawing Topics*: Basic color theory Interrelationship of colors Mixing colors Composition with colors: Creating abstract drawings Drawing the self-portrait Drawing the nature-morte Drawing interior/exterior architecture Drawing plants and gardens Materials used: Color pencils, soft pastels, photography, color paper Please note that this course is designed for students who already Can do observational drawings. If you are unsure of your level, I recommend starting with the "Observational Drawing" program.

Trusted teacher: 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!

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.

Every corner of this city has a story waiting to be drawn. More importantly, you will learn how sketching becomes a part of everyday life: 🍺 A bar sketch that earns you a free drink 🐾 A quick drawing of your cat or dog while they nap 🧡 A portrait sketch that becomes a charming conversation starter 🎁 A handmade gift far more personal than anything you can buy Sketching is not just a skill — it’s a lifestyle, a gentle way of observing the world and leaving a trace of beauty wherever you go.

Robin was wonderful!! He is a very warm, patient teacher and knows (in English) how to explain art techniques to a beginner. He was very amenable when I had to change dates and ran over the scheduled time when I was late showing up because I went to the wrong Starbucks. I will definitely call him again on my next trip to Paris. 5 stars!!!
