Course of discovery and improvement of oil painting

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Trained for over ten years at the Atelier du Passage in Paris, I teach oil painting in Geneva in a spirit of discovery and sharing and in the warm atmosphere of the Atelier du Square.

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.

Learning creative process from a real artist (drawing and/or painting)
I believe that everyone can draw. All it takes is to sit down, start, and keep practicing. I have taught myself to draw faces/portraits and that is why I am very enthusiastic about conveying my creative process to others, so that they can also get started with what they want to create. I have developed my art and creative process throughout my life. After training at three different art academies, including Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam, I have now been working full-time as an artist for 8 years. I make my works with acrylic paint, but I still draw and sketch a lot on paper. My art style is a mix of spontaneous realism and abstract use of color, pop art and comic style. Are you interested in being creative, even if you don't know how and/or whether you can do it yet? No problem. We will work together and you will find your way of drawing or painting.

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.

Art and Creativity lessons for kids (drawing, painting, crafts)
Painting works as a different kind of language for kids. In an art lesson, a child learns (according to their age and character) how to use this language better, to express themselves more precisely. Many kids are hiding a great artist inside them, but art lessons are not just for gifted kids. And, although there are many great artists who got inspired by children's drawing, the goal is not to train children as an artists, but help them become more aware of the means of expression that are in their disposal , which will later make them more balanced adults, who are aware of the way art narrates the history of our world. This is achieved by familiarizing kids with a variety of techniques and artists. Since the lessons are private, there can be a lot of flexibility with that.
