Open Workshop sketching, drawing and painting, custom representation techniques in small groups every Saturday

From 25 C$ /h

The aim of the Atelier Gentilléen is to teach drawing and painting. The creative method is transmitted through the practice of gouache drawing from life, in color, in small groups. This work can be continued on canvas or in other forms depending on the wishes and discoveries of each person.

I teach all these practices for twenty years in art schools, I put this expertise at your disposal openly and in small groups.

About Me

I teach visual arts techniques (sketching, drawing, intention drawing, rough, color theory, representation techniques, documentary study, perspective, visual expression, theory of contemporary art) for twenty years in schools of art and applied arts.
I accompany doctoral students in their research, everyone finds their own way.

The experience of the sketch which involves passing through a moment of indeterminacy, and respecting the balance between the whole and each part of the pattern in shaping the form, is the key to all visual arts practices.

Feel free to contact me if you want to try the new way of capturing the memories and the world around.

Whether you want to pursue visual arts professionally or not, it is one of the best ways to express yourself creatively.

This course will teach you how to develop drawing and painting skills in various art mediums, along with references from art history so that you can freely express yourself.
The structure of the lessons can be modified according to the needs of the student, and can also included visits to museums and contemporary art exhibitions. With younger children or amateurs, we can delve into crafts, collage, sketching and doodling and for people with some experience we can think about more advanced painting compositions, even installation and basics of stop-motion animation.

However, it is not at all necessary to have a lot of knowledge of the visual arts, only curiosity and interest.

I work as a 3D generalist for cinema and/or video games, with a specialization in 3D Layout/Préviz.

During our courses, I will teach you the techniques to create your own illustrations/projects, and allow you to discover if not improve your skills in the world of 3D.
As examples, we will learn how to use software such as Blender, 3dsMAx, Photoshop, Zbrush, Substance Painter, and many others.

I am very attentive, a teacher and I will be able to guide you and support you step by step on your desires for achievements, whether for beginners who want to discover this field, up to students who need to learn to master new skills.

My classes take place as follows:
You tell me what you would like to achieve, and we will achieve it together, otherwise I will offer you a project to create in line with your desires, while taking care to explore enough aspects to prepare you for the profession.

Looking forward to meeting you, and I hope, see you soon!

Hi everyone, I'm Fei from China and I'm a Chinese teacher meanwhile, I'm a Chinese calligraphy artist. I have been doing calligraphy with traditional Chinese techniques since I was 10 years old. It doesn't matter if you speak Chinese or not. If you're interested in art and Chinese culture, that's the most important part:)

Welcome to contact me for more information and let's start this journey with passion and fun!

I offer to help and guide you in your 2D Animation or Motion Design projects; I can also help you master software such as Animate, After Effects, Photoshop, ToonBoom, or even on tablets with Procreate and Procreate Dreams or Alight Motion!
I am also able to encourage you to progress in your relationship with drawing, or even introduce your children to artistic awakening!

PS: Regarding the classes, it is also possible to arrange a meeting point halfway, in order to work in a cafe or other coworking space!

Accessible to all levels and all ages.
Whether you are a beginner exploring the world or an accomplished artist looking for advice to develop a project, this course will meet your expectations.

Everyone can tell a story or draw. This course adapts to your style (manga, Franco-Belgian, comics, science fiction), covering each stage of production, from scriptwriting to the final layout.
The courses ensure that participants have autonomy and an understanding of the profession and its possibilities.

PROPOSED CONTENT

Writing, anatomy, perspective, movement, staging, storyboarding, panel rhythm, inking, watercolor, Photoshop, lettering and layout.

Having worked in an art studio where I gave lessons to children (from 6 to 13 years old), young teenagers (from 14 to 16 years old) and adults (all ages), I now offer my services to accompany your child or teenager in learning different drawing and painting techniques, and to give them the necessary tools to progress and practice independently.
Having studied art history, I like to propose themes by introducing an artistic movement or an artist within their context before tackling a practical subject. If the student prefers to focus solely on learning drawing or painting techniques, that is perfectly possible, although an artistic dimension will still be present, if only through images of artworks, which I consider important for illustrating the techniques.
I offer lessons with a minimum duration of one hour and, in order to promote effective progress, I favour working on the same theme and the same technique over several sessions, while adapting to the expectations and pace of the student.

My courses cover drawing, animation, and 3D, with a common goal: learning to understand what we create.

I offer a structured curriculum, designed to transmit the fundamentals progressively and smoothly, in order to effectively develop all essential skills

We will work on the fundamentals: training the eye, constructing correctly, mastering proportions and improving the quality of the line.

These principles allow us to analyze what we observe and represent it accurately. The goal is to no longer draw randomly, but to know what we are doing at each step.

In parallel, we will develop creativity: learning to build ideas, creating mood boards, experimenting, iterating and developing a rich and solid reference library.

These principles then apply to animation and 3D, where we will also discuss mastering the software.

Combining technical understanding with creativity results in work that is both controlled and personal, regardless of the medium.

Each course is tailored to the student's level and objective, in order to allow for rapid progress and the development of genuine learning autonomy.

Assistance available for preparing portfolios for art school entrance exams.

Private oil painting lessons – Master techniques

As a professional painter based in Paris for over twenty years, I offer personalized instruction in oil painting, based on the classical techniques of the Renaissance masters and great European painters.

The courses are aimed at young talents as well as demanding amateurs, art school students and artists wishing to deepen their practice through masterclasses.

Teaching:
• Portrait
• Still life
• Landscape
• Membership
• Academic drawing
• Color theory
• Light and shadows
• Sfumato technique
• Glazing, modeling and finishing

Each course is designed according to your level, your objectives and your artistic sensibility. The emphasis is on technical mastery, observation and the development of your own pictorial language.

I travel to your home in Paris and the Île-de-France region. Intensive workshops or masterclasses can also be arranged upon request.

Course in French or English.

For any information or to arrange a first session, please do not hesitate to contact me.

With a Diploma in Illustration from the Saint-Luc Tournai school (class of 2024-2025), which I earned with honors and the jury's congratulations during my secondary studies, and currently a second-year art history student at the Sorbonne, I offer customized drawing lessons to guide you in discovering and refining your artistic practice. Whether you're drawn to manga, comics, cartoons, or illustration, my goal is to provide you with the necessary foundation so you can create what you envision.

During the sessions, the student guides the program. I adapt entirely to your desires and objectives. My method unfolds in two stages: learning the fundamentals, where we cover the essential basics (proportions, perspective, shadows and light, anatomy, various techniques) through exercises; and then, finally, practical application, which consists of putting the previously learned basics into practice through more creative exercises and personal projects that are important to you.
Together we will be able to explore a wide range of techniques such as colored pencil, watercolor, charcoal, alcohol markers, ink, etc.

Each session is structured as follows:
- The choice: at the beginning of the course, we define together the subject, the style (manga, cartoon...) and the technique you wish to work on.
- The theory: I will give you the basic concepts necessary to carry out your project.
- Training: we do short, quick exercises to understand and practice.
- Creation: you apply these skills to a concrete, personal and original drawing, which you will have the pleasure of finalizing.

I offer drawing lessons to teach you different techniques and tools. It's about understanding how colors combine and blend, and how to create an interesting composition.
I also support you in your artistic projects by giving you advice to help you succeed.
I mainly work with watercolors, colored pencils, black markers, but also pastels or tools that we all have: the ballpoint pen.
I also do a lot of collage and graphic compositions
I am a student passionate about art who loves to share her passion and has been drawing for several years.

Come learn the basic techniques of drawing (sketches, painting) or theatre (learning and interpreting a scene), to move on to creation (write a story, a dialogue) and put it in pictures (the comic book, the book of illustrations), or play it (show, rehearsals, embody a character, improv' techniques)
