Drawing courses with a unique approach. You'll be amazed at how quickly you level up! For over 10 years, I have been developing a method that allows my students to learn observational drawing at record speed. Through pictorial and observational exercises, my students become adept at drawing *any and all* observational subjects in: 4 months with 1 day/wk classes at 4 hrs/day 2 weeks at 6 days/wk classes at 6 hrs/day . Please choose one of the two courses: >> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (B/W): If you don't know how to draw, pick this one. If you "know how to draw except for" portraits/perspective/etc, this is the best program for you too. (details below) >> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING: If you can draw anything from observation, but want to understand how color works, pick this one. If your goal is to make oil paintings and you already know how to draw, this is your program too. (details below) . >> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (black/white) << For those who want to learn drawing or those who want to improve their drawing skills quickly *Observational Drawing Topics*: Line quality Drawing the hand Using negative space in drawing and in composition Making strong compositions Measuring sizes and angles Drawing plants and furniture Drawing the human figure Shading methods Drawing perspective Drawing with light Composing with light Drawing the interior Drawing the face, proportions Drawing light and shadow Portraiture Materials used: Graphite, Charcoal, Markers/India ink, paper Since this is a technique class, I recommend that you take at least 4 hours/week to be able to experience your improvement class by class. If you wish to take less hours, please note that with a 2 hours/day course, you will complete the program in 10-12 months, which will be caused by not gaining enough momentum during class time. >> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING << For those who want to learn color in representational art. Become skillful at using color in your works. *Color Observational Drawing Topics*: Basic color theory Interrelationship of colors Mixing colors Composition with colors: Creating abstract drawings Drawing the self-portrait Drawing the nature-morte Drawing interior/exterior architecture Drawing plants and gardens Materials used: Color pencils, soft pastels, photography, color paper Please note that this course is designed for students who already Can do observational drawings. If you are unsure of your level, I recommend starting with the "Observational Drawing" program.

In my classes, I teach drawing, sketching, watercolor, acrylic painting, and fundamental art techniques step by step. My main focus is building a strong artistic foundation — understanding form, perspective, light and shadow, composition, and color theory in a clear and simple way. I believe that good art starts with strong basics. That’s why I give my students solid technical knowledge while keeping lessons enjoyable, relaxed, and motivating. I break complex concepts into easy, practical exercises so you can see real progress from the first lessons. I have 7 years of academic art school training and a 5-year Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, which gives me a strong background in perspective, structure, and visual thinking. I work with both kids and adults and create personalized lesson plans for each student depending on their goals — whether it’s learning fundamentals, improving technique, preparing a portfolio, or simply enjoying art as a hobby. My goal is not only to teach technique, but to build confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for drawing.

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.
