The space of the workshop: our art workshops will take place as in the open air with the walks to be inspired by natural forms, as comfortably in a closed space in a room at home or in my workshop in Bellegarde as also in lines from time to time with the camera - web.

Description of the workshop: during our lessons, we will learn both the academic techniques of drawing, watercolor and acrylic, artistic gestures, as well as drawing inspiration from the history of art and current contemporary artists. .

This course also contains an option with computer know-how for digital creations in graphic design on the Adobe Suite: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro...

The specifics of this workshop:
Our courses can be a new benefit for your health: relaxation in nature inspired by shapes and drawing in the open air.

As also you add a new knowledge or practice in a foreign language: Russian, English, Armenian.

Workshops can be group and individual as needed.

The age group :
- Starts as early as for 4-12 year olds for their creative development.
- For teenagers (13-17 years old) - for their out-of-school activity or for the preparation of files for a high school in the Arts.
- For adults and Seniors (18-65+ years old) - for their activity outside work, relaxation, personal reconnection with Nature and self-questioning.

My personal artistic practice:
I am currently in my last year of Master in Visual Arts at La HEAD in Geneva and have experience as a trainer and facilitator in visual art, Graphic Design for international and intergenerational people. I also had the opportunity to give lessons before in Russian, French Armenian and English.

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Would you like to be able to illustrate the worlds and stories you imagine?

Do you want to learn how to create characters for a video game, animation, children's story, comic or in any format? Or would you like to be able to draw your favorite characters?

If you have those concerns, I would love to help you.

I like to focus the classes in such a way that the current drawing level of the student is not what is important. The room for improvement will always evolve. I like to take my classes towards character design, towards general things like the psychology of color and shapes, since they are assimilable and highly useful concepts, independent of the level of drawing. For this reason, my classes are aimed at all ages and drawing levels.

I also try to focus them on the preferences and tastes of each student, showing them that everything they like, they like for a reason, that nothing is left to chance and that they can also understand how to make their drawings reflect what they want to convey. Even to create your portfolios or visual information for your own project or story.

I give private classes with students from different parts of the world, so many of my classes I have been able to do in both English and French.

I studied 2D animation in France, and thanks to this training, my work has been nourished by dynamism, storytelling, expressiveness, typical of this medium, as well as the sensitivity for color and shapes that I usually use to infuse a unique style both to my original designs as well as my fanarts.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

As a multidisciplinary artist, I believe that strong digital work is rooted in traditional mastery. This course combines the tactile logic of oil painting and watercolors with the power of Photoshop and digital design. We begin with the core fundamentals, anatomy, still life, and composition before transitioning those skills into the digital space.

You will learn to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, and apply color with intention. We move beyond simple tutorials to tackle character design, surreal environments, and professional workflows. By the end of this course, you will have a body of polished, original work and a deep understanding of the design fundamentals that make an image successful in any medium.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

A refresher course in graphic design designed to closely guide you through your creative process. Here, we'll not only answer your questions about programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but we'll also work together on the design principles that make all the difference: composition, color, typography, visual hierarchy, and aesthetic coherence.

The idea is for you to feel confident asking questions, experimenting, and improving at your own pace, with clear explanations, practical examples, and personalized support. More than a technical class, it's a supportive space where you can refine your projects, reinforce what you already know, and gain confidence in your creative decisions.

Fashion design encompasses everything from the initial concept to its execution in fabric. In this course, we will review the entire process, from the initial planning stages, including research into references, silhouettes, and so on, to the details of garment construction: pattern making, basic alterations, fabric selection and sewing techniques, as well as sewing on trims (zippers, buttons, etc.).

Ideal for people who want to learn to sew their own clothes, the course can focus on the more technical aspects (pattern making and sewing) if desired.

My methodology is tailored to each student's needs, while maintaining a clear objective to be achieved throughout the project. Drawing on my extensive teaching experience, I have had the opportunity to share my knowledge across a wide range of sectors, including video games, animated films, advertising, 3D printing, fine jewelry, swiss watchmaking, and related merchandise.

Graphic design is one of those skills that looks simple from the outside but has real depth to it. Whether you're starting from zero or already know your way around the basics, these lessons are designed to help you build a solid foundation and develop the kind of creative thinking that actually gets you somewhere in this field.

I've been working as a graphic designer for 16 years, across branding studios, creative agencies, and product teams. I currently work as a Head of Graphic Design, and I've spent the last four years teaching and mentoring designers at all levels, including at Brainster Academy and Monday Academy. I bring that same industry-level perspective into every lesson.

What we cover depends on where you are and where you want to go, but typically includes design principles, typography, layout and grids, color theory, composition, vector illustration, and design for both print and digital. We work with industry-standard tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, taught in a way that fits into a real professional workflow, not just isolated exercises.

Every session is personalized. We work through real projects and practical tasks rather than just theory, so you're building skills you can actually use. You'll also get honest, constructive feedback throughout, the kind that helps you grow faster than going it alone.

These lessons are open to complete beginners, self-taught designers looking to fill gaps, students, and working professionals who want to level up. If you're serious about graphic design, I'd love to work with you.
