From 58 C$ /h

Small Group Painting and Drawing lessons, any level! I am a classically trained painter, I have been painting seriously for 20 years and studied intensively in Florence, Italy. I will teach you the basics about light, form, line, colour and space, and how to constantly grow and improve. We start with drawing from observation and continue to other mediums, including oil paint, once the student is ready.

Landscape, still life, portrait, expressive. My goal is to help my students improve every time and reach new levels. I provide many examples from art history as well as my own work, and give lots of demonstrations. I offer a personalized approach fitted to each student.

The classes are in a small group format and each student works at their own pace: private classes with other students present, offering a supportive and convivial environment in which to learn and grow. Each student receives personalized instruction at their own level. Each student is guaranteed to improve.

I accept students who are looking for longer term learning, not one offs. Commitment is a must to grow! Take one lesson to see if the class is a good for for you. My students tend to stay with me for the long term, if it is the right fit.

The classes take place in my studio in Molenbeek, close to city center and easily reached with public transport.

Hello! I propose you drawing lessons or painting fun, because I am convinced that one learns better while having fun. I design courses upstream, depending on the personality and level of each. The two main axes are the technique and the development of the imaginary, the putting into practice of an idea. I can move if you have space for creativity and concentration.
Holder of a degree in Fine Arts, but also an animator, I like to share my passion, and has for it a pedagogical know-how. See you soon!

I teach in such a way as to fully respect everyone's desires and inspirations: art must remain personal and exciting. Each lesson is adapted to the student(s). It can be both academic courses (technique and mastery of different materials), as well as reflection on the challenges of art, or even the development of a personal project...

I am a very passionate person when it comes to making fun with colors, drawing, crafts, and calligraphy.
Teaching these subjects brings me immense delight and satisfaction. Moreover, I hold a strong belief in the beauty of elegant handwriting. My instructional approach is centered on guiding learners from basics and foundational concepts to an advanced level of mastery.

INTRODUCTION
(scroll down for the course description — see below)

I'm a young professional in the film industry and have worked with partners such as Vice, Sony, Unicef and WWF, as well as many musicians, architects, non-profit organizations and independent creators. My experience spans director, editor, DOP, assistant editor, focus puller, author, electrician and production assistant.

I studied Cinema at LUCA School of Arts Brussels and Supermedia at UMPRUM in Prague. My strength lies mainly in combining music and cinematography: experimental video art, arthouse films, music videos, and dance and music films. I also completed training in team coordination, so I can edit efficiently and stay organised.

I work both for large companies and the music industry, as well as on small, independent project, depending on whether the music speaks to me.

I'll teach you how to edit videos and films, for personal or commercial use. My software of choice is the full Adobe suite; for sound I use Ableton, and to a lesser extent Pro Tools.

I've completed several artistic residencies as part of my own practice and describe myself as a multidisciplinary artist. My work has appeared in several international magazines with around 700,000 monthly readers, and has received international attention.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course you'll learn:

Which software you need and how the interface works
The difference between codecs and technical specifications (aspect ratio, frame rate, ...)
The key features and possibilities of Adobe Premiere
Practical editing using your own footage, through focused editing sessions, working toward a result you're happy with
How to build visual and musical rhythm and explore sound
The difference between a phenomenological, intuitive approach and a prepared, structured setup
How to maintain a healthy workflow, for yourself and your computer
Keyboard shortcuts and efficient cutting and editing techniques
How to export correctly with the right settings
How to communicate with clients
How to prepare yourself visually for a project
The basics of color correction and grading
How to properly deliver/transfer files
How to keep your workflow as minimal and streamlined as possible

In this course you will learn the practice and theory of drawing and painting. It covers shapes, forms, visual elements, value, and colour theory. You will apply this knowledge to exercises in still life, landscape, figure drawing, and portraiture. Any medium you wish to explore is welcome and materials will be provided. The course will be tailored to your preferred pace and level, although it will follow the basic structure provided above.

The Visible World is a structured course in drawing, painting and visual perception.

Through practical studio exercises and the study of great works of art, you will develop a deeper understanding of form, proportion, light, colour, composition, visual weight and space.
The course progresses from fundamental observation to more complex artistic decisions, helping you develop both technical skill and visual judgement.
Rather than simply learning how to copy what you see, you will learn how to see, understand and transform the visible world into an image.

No previous experience is required. Come curious — leave seeing differently.

A lot of people think they cannot draw. But before drawing, it is about "seeing". Actually if you can see, you can draw. Not only objects, but portraits, animals, whatever you want. By developing the aptitude of observing the reality using the right part of your brain, you learn how to draw what you really see instead of drawing what you think you already know about this reality.
This technique was a revelation as it allowed me to progress quickly when I was young. It's on this base that I will help you to learn another way of looking at things around you and show you some tricks to overcome difficulties as perspective, foreshorten,...

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.

I offer to train you in painting figurines, to help you assemble and paint figurines belonging to various ranges of games such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40000, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons or even any Kickstarter board game.

This course can also be supplemented with conversions and advanced techniques such as OSL, NMN, wash, glaze or grimdark.

I remain at your disposal for any questions or possible information needs.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Note: ALL SUPPLIES & TOOLS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE STUDENTS FOR THE FIRST TEN (10) LESSONS — All canvas, stretcher-bars, panels, paper, brushes, pens, pencils, ink, charcoal, paints, varnish, etc. The finished artworks are, of course, your to keep.

There are many ways to create a so-called "realistic" oil painting. And there are many visual tools that an artist can use to make a beautiful visual statement. Whether using thick impastos, thin washes of solvent-based color, bodied glazes, or mixed media elements, each technique can yield an engaging visual experience. Painting is, after all, a means of communication.

In this course, we will begin with the basic ideas and techniques for drawing and painting forms as the eye sees them. You will learn every stage for producing aesthetically pleasing and technically strong oil paintings. We will discuss concepts and ideas for painting, developing different studies, stretching the canvas, line drawing, tonal lay-in, dead-coloring (or color block-in), and modeling the forms (1st painting, 2nd painting, and finishing). We will also cover the techniques of alla prima or premier coup (direct painting in one pass). We will also study the formal methods of composition, different kinds of perspectives, paint surface and paint quality (facture), and proportions. And, of course, we will discuss the use of varnishes, including the final picture varnish.

Stay calm and confident if some of these terms are new to you. We will adapt the lessons for each artist. I will help you to learn, understand, and perform each step of the painting process.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced painter: there is something for you!

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?

Specializing in colored pencil, pastel, graphite pencil and watercolor techniques, I have been teaching drawing for several years to a varied audience, from beginners to advanced artists.
A graduate of La Cambre (2017) and an associate professor of the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts (2021), I support each person according to their objectives: technical learning, personal project development, portfolio preparation or tailor-made coaching.
I work on a variety of themes: portrait, realism, illustration, animal, plant, and more depending on your desires.
I adapt to all levels in a caring and secure environment, conducive to exploration and progression.

Spray paint and lettering!

Anyone who knows the alphabet and is holding a can of spray paint is, in theory, ready to participate.
The course includes some theory on letter structure and an introduction to the tools, as well as a guided painting session on the wall.
It's a fun activity for birthdays, team-building workshops, curious minds, or anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of art and body movement.

Learn how to transform ordinary fabrics into unique works of art through painting. In this hands-on class, you will explore different techniques for painting on textile and learn how to create your own designs using colors, shapes, patterns, and brushwork.
The class is suitable for beginners as well as students with previous experience. You will learn how to prepare the fabric, transfer or develop a design, choose suitable colors and materials, and apply paint in a way that creates a beautiful and lasting result.
During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to experiment with your own ideas and develop a personal style. Whether you want to decorate clothing, bags, cushions, or other textile items, this class will give you the practical skills and confidence to continue creating your own textile artworks.
