Create your very own Nature Journal in pencil, ink and watercolour
course price icon
From 41.64 C$ /h
arrow icon
There's a big wild world out there, just waiting for you!
In this course you will learn how to create your unique nature journal, with your own drawings of animals, plants and natural landscapes in and around Brussels.
We will start with the basics of drawing and watercolour sketching in my studio or at your place, and then quickly move on to sketching from life outside. As you develop your nature journal, you will learn about, appreciate, and love the wildlife all around you, and create a lasting collection of memories in the pages of your journal.
Extra information
Please provide your own sketchbook journal and drawing/watercolour materials. I can advise you what's the best deal...
Classes can be either 1 or 2 hours, and can be individual or group lessons.
Outdoor sketching opportunities in and around Brussels are an integral part of the course - weather permitting!

About Me
Nature and art have been my two greatest loves for my whole life, and I enjoy opening others' eyes to the wonder and beauty of nature through art. Each of us has a unique perspective and artistic language, and it's very rewarding to create one's personal nature journal.
Education
I have a university degree in art history from my studies in the United States and have studied drawing at the Royal Fine Arts Academy in Brussels (Académie Royale des Beaux Arts de Bruxelles), as well as courses in printmaking and illustration.
Experience / Qualifications
Since 2004 I have pursued art full-time, and have had many solo and shared exhibitions in Belgium and beyond. I spend a lot of time sketching outdoors and observing wildlife in all its variety, both great and small.

Does the hectic pace of life get you down?
Do you need an escape from screens, if even for an hour?
Would you like to immerse yourself in Nature?
Then a Mindful Drawing class is for you!
During each hour of the class we will be absorbed in the contemplation and drawing of various natural objects - stones, minerals, feathers, seashells...
All you need is a sketchbook and pencil and, above all, the patience to just sit and look.
As the class progresses, not only will you discover your inner artistic resources and build a lovely collection of sketches, but you will also see the world in a new way.
Why not give it a try?

If you love animals and love to draw, then this is the course for you. We'll start off with basic anatomy of a variety of animals, since understanding their inner structure is essential for accurate drawing. We'll also cover animal movement, and how their form changes as they move. Then, best of all, we'll also draw animals from life!

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.
