I offer classes in your own home that are designed to encourage gentle creativity through drawing and painting in a wide range of mediums. You can choose your own subjects, or we can choose them together, and if you want gentle guidance, it’s at hand. I will also introduce and advise you about art materials.

About Me

I have always loved drawing and painting and started finding ways to keep doing this from an early age. I developed a keen interest in art history and out of a sense of sheer fun started including drawings in my academic work. Responses from my tutors were so positive and rewarding that my curiosity grew, motivating me towards gaining a B.A. in Fine Art and M.A. in Art and Design in Education, to become a teacher.

However, I enjoy other forms of fun too. I love going to the cinema, travelling, reading, taking photos, and meeting new people. All of this keeps me feeling happy and optimistic about life and helps me to create Art sessions that give a real sense of satisfaction and achievement. I love learning and enabling others to enjoy art in positive, interesting, and stress-free ways. I am a sensitive, flexible, and up-beat person. I strive to make my sessions enjoyable, tailoring them to individual learning styles, interests, and previous knowledge. I love to give the people I work with, the opportunity to experience a real sense of satisfaction, joy and achievement, alongside achieving a high level of art knowledge and skill.

Education

BA in Fine Art: London, UK.
MA in Art & Design in Education: London, UK
Post Graduate Certificate in Intercultural Psychotherapy: London UK
Mindfulness Training: MBSR: being centred and present while working with others: London UK

Experience / Qualifications

I have been an artist and teacher for over 30 years, and taught privately, as well as in primary and secondary schools in the UK and abroad. My Masters degree research was in Learning through Art and Play and I have had significant success with this approach with a wide range of children and adults, particularly with reluctant learners.

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.

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.

Graduated from a digital arts school, I give digital drawing lessons
I have a bachelor's degree in digital arts, obtained at Saint Luc in 2016. During my studies I did live modeling, had courses in color, 2D animation, perspectives and character design. I mainly draw with a graphics tablet. I explore different styles but particularly focus on character drawing. It is this flexibility that I wish to transmit during my lessons. Learn to look at an image, understand the way the artist composes it, then learn to reproduce a style. Not copying, but really understanding and being able to reuse this style for original creations.
