Drawing, Painting, and Fine Arts classes for beginners, advanced students, adults, and art admirers

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.

About Me

During more than 12 years of professional Art education and practice I have explored, analysed, and established values and aesthetics in Art configured by knowledge, taste, criticism, cultural algorithms, social demands, 'trends' influence, gathered together and refined by validations proved to be accurate and defining.
I feel determined to pass my experience on the young generation and people who are committed to 'learn' with the attempt to not only introduce to them the foundations of developing artistic skills to achieve technical proficiency, but also to build confidence and aim highly, without losing the joy and admiration to Art.
Learning the essence and fundamental principles of Drawing and Painting requires extreme patience, discipline, consistency, dedication, and time. In our dynamic modern times, as Art is associated with unprecedented freedom, it is even more challenging to master those skills and apply them in modern means and approaches. Creative process is indeed the most compelling, hypnotising, and liberating 'adventure', but to 'write a word that really means something, you cannot do without knowing A, B, C... from the alphabet'
I am here to help students understand the incredible comprehensiveness of Art, to learn step by step the difficult but intriguing process of Drawing and Painting, and to guide them in utilizing the freedom this knowledge gives to unleash talent and creativity with confidence and vigour.

Fine arts and mixed media - Drawing, paiting, sculpture, printmaking, and more.
Are you a new aspiring artist trying your hand at creating artwork for the first time? Or do you want to improve your skills with valuable advice on your practice perhaps in preparation for a course of study or to perfect your technique? Contemporary art offers a wide range of possibilities and mediums. Through over eleven years of studying and practicing Fine Arts, I have acquired a deep love and appreciation for traditional art techniques such as traditional technical painting and drawing, and mixed media sculpting but also enjoyed experimenting with uncountable numbers of other unconventional media integrating them with contemporary languages. My course will help you improve your skills or learn from scratch how to get drawings, sculptures and paintings according to your goals.

Design graphic, art director skills, and drawing-painting.
Dans mon cours de dessin, vous passerez d'abord par le dessin d'observation, c'est à dire l'art de voir avant de dessiner car sans observation pas de dessin, puis vous passerez à l'étape suivante de l’expression de soi, de votre propre point de vue par des projets personnels sur des thèmes imposés ou libres, à décider ensemble. J'ai une Licence d'Arts Appliqués à l’Académie Bugeant à Poitiers. (1983), 35 ans de direction artistique dans la communication et 40 ans de dessin non-stop. J'enseigne à l'ECV creative Shools à Nantes depuis 7 ans, chez Brassart depuis 5 ans, chez Efet du groupe Eductive, et chez ISG Luxury depuis 2 ans. Je donne des cours de "rough", une méthode de dessin, de design et de création publicitaire sur papier, avant le passage à l'ordinateur. (Du dessin pur et du dessin typographique ). J'ai une grande habitude de l'échange et du soutien personnalisé de chaque étudiant dans ces écoles. Je peux vous aider pour appréhender et créer via la suite Adobe (Photoshop, illustrator et indesign) que je pratique depuis 25 ans.

Abstract Drawing and Mindfulness (A delve into the subconscious)
In this class we will explore drawing through a series of therapeutic art and mindfulness exercises. This class is designed to encourage students to free the mind of judgement and explore the realms of unpredictability and subconscious creation. You will be lead through simple techniques of mark making, pattern and experimental drawing with a focus on breathing and sensation. As well as drawing to music, poems and film, we will be taking a look at a few artists who have worked within the realms of the abstract drawing and the subconscious. The aim of this class is to quieten our conscious mind and place our thoughts completely in the present, in turn creating a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Drawing lessons: practical exercises focusing on the human figure, the portrait, and the expression.
These drawing lessons start from a perspective based on practice and specific exercises, according to the student's particular interests. We will work on the human figure, and the head, the expression in portrait drawing, drawing basic shapes and their relationship with texture and volume. I aim to share my experience as a freelance artist and support beginner artists or those with some experience, who wish to continue developing their drawing skills.

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.

TECHNICAL DRAWING from scratch (or from wherever you need)
The TECHNICAL DRAWING takes you by surprise because: - You have to appear for the EBAU this year or next year and you don't see it clearly... - You are doing or plan to do a higher education cycle or a design degree and you do not distinguish between square and bevel... - Although you understand the YouTube tutorials or the solved exercises, when you are going to do them you don't know where to start... I can help you understand what resists you so that you have greater security and, why not, come to enjoy the subject.

Drawing. Develop your innate abilities. We all have them, we just need to encourage ourselves to wake them up.
In my case, drawing was something that I developed as an adult. Until I was 26 I only drew a little house and a tree. I invite you to dare to cross your own threshold. In this drawing course we will learn to look, to let go of our hand, and recognize different types of strokes. We will work on realistic drawing while looking for our own inner drawing. The organic expression. Development of visualization techniques to be able to capture ideas and find our own style.
