Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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.

• 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!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Former student of the Pivaut School in Nantes where I studied applied arts.
In 2017 I graduated in illustration and started my career as a visual artist and freelance teacher.
In this context, I opened my home studio, the Atelier des Arts in St Sébastien sur Loire (South of Nantes), where I taught until 2023 to students from all walks of life, aged 9 at 77 years old.
Having since practiced in various creative fields (design, cinema, board game, team building, painted decoration, exhibition / art gallery ...), I teach, to date, a wide range of techniques relating to the visual arts: drawing, painting, marker, charcoal, comics/manga, portrait, landscape, illustration, creation with a graphic tablet, animation, modelling, 3D creation, etc.
Back in my hometown since 2023, I now offer my services as a teacher/trainer in visual and plastic arts techniques in Angers and around. I can accompany you both at home and online on the Zoom platform, face to face via webcam and screen sharing.

Creative painting and watercolor technique workshop for all levels
Within this class you will be able to immerse yourself in one of the most appreciated and captivating artistic expressions for artists: the use of watercolor. The versatility and delicacy of its results are outstanding reasons that attract participants. By applying layers of transparent colors, achieved through mixing pigments with water that interacts with the paper, students have the opportunity to experience a wide variety of effects, whether soft, ethereal, vibrant or intense. The workshop addresses a wide range of artistic topics, from the creation of landscapes and portraits to the representation of objects and nature. The unique ability of watercolor to highlight luminosity and create fluid images is highlighted. In addition, the technique offers the possibility of incorporating abundant details through the use of various brushes, allowing participants to explore their creativity. At the same time, the workshop encourages artistic freedom by being open to the artist's spontaneity, giving them the space to creatively release their imagination through the brush.

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.
