Based on long-term experience among all audiences and in-depth knowledge of traditional or modern tools, I like to bring together all these areas to experience Art in its beautiful part of creation.

My course is focused on the desires for expression and research formulated by the students.
Nothing pleases me more than allowing you to access what attracts you most in the narrative image (comics, illustration, Concept Art).

We will address together both character issues (anatomy, stylization, etc.) and settings (perspective, landscapes, etc.).

I put the desire of my students at the heart of the learning process.

About Me
Independent drawing teacher and illustrator for 30 years.

My background allows me to straddle the world of traditional methods (pencil, ink, etc.) and the digital world (2D Photoshop, Illustrator, Krita, Clip studio Paint, Indesign and 3D Blender - Maya) as well as world and the constraints of publishing and printing.
Education
Professor for over 20 years in art schools. I taught and supervised student learning for 20 years in one of the largest video game and animated film schools (Isart Digital), as well as always in workshops for very diverse audiences (from 5 to 70 years).
Experience / Qualifications
Freelance illustrator and graphic designer for 30 years. I worked in the press (comics and illustrations) or in various video game and board game design teams.

Tom
As a professional painter and visual artist (academic studies in Florence, at the Van der Kelen Institute in Belgium, and at ENSAAMA in Paris), affiliated with the Maison des Artistes, I dedicate part of my time to teaching traditional academic techniques and providing individual artistic guidance. These demanding foundations form the essential basis for all artistic expression: realistic, abstract, or digital.


TARGET AUDIENCE
-Beginners, Amateurs
A step-by-step learning process to overcome apprehension and acquire a solid foundation for personal expression. Basic materials are provided to experiment and get started with confidence.

-Art school students
A complementary support to your course to fill the gaps in contemporary teaching and acquire the academic fundamentals that will give full visual force to your concepts and to enrich your diploma projects or your portfolio.

-Digital Artists
Come and unlock your technical levels in digital art through a rigorous relearning of traditional fundamentals: light, values, perspective and proportions.

-Professional artists
Consolidate and perfect your drawing and painting skills and applied guidance/masterclass to the realization of your artistic projects.


CUSTOMIZED TEACHING METHODOLOGY (1-TO-1 COURSES)
The teaching is strictly individual to guarantee progress at your own pace.
My progressive, observation-based teaching method is a synthesis of my artistic, personal and professional experiences and the different teaching methods I have encountered, notably the Bargue academic method of the Paris school practiced from 1880 to 1950.
Drawing and painting is about learning to look at reality, analyzing it and transcribing it from 3D to 2D.


THE FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT
Form (overall vision, simplification through geometrization, measurement)
Value (light analysis, volume rendering)
Colour (perception, analysis and mixing)


TECHNICAL LEARNING
-Drawing and painting tools: lead pencil, charcoal, oil paint (colors, binders, mediums), acrylic paint.
-The method: from sketch to finish, mastery of the limited palette, grisaille, and alla prima technique.
-The subjects: still life, plaster model, live model, outdoor, and copies of masters.


YOUR PROJECTS & PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
Depending on your level and needs, once the academic foundation has been validated or for already established artists, I offer three levels of intervention:

1. Regular Courses: Transmission of knowledge through theoretical and practical instruction. You practice and develop your eye in conjunction with your hand under my supervision.

2. Technical Coaching (Art Direction and Expert Advice): I act as an external consultant on your works in progress. Analysis of composition, color theory, choice of materials, assistance with research and validation of your processes.

3. The Project Masterclass: Technical demonstration and direct educational intervention on your artwork. I paint with you to help you overcome a complex technical hurdle (details, textures) and provide concrete assistance in completing your work.


MY EXPERIENCE AT THE SERVICE OF YOUR PROGRESSION
My teaching is grounded in solid practical experience. My past work in set design (film, theater, trompe-l'œil), in stained glass creation (Carmel of Paris, in partnership with Jean le Bideau, master glassmaker, and Tom Ho), and my experience as a graphic designer and artist's assistant have profoundly shaped my eye, my sensitivity to light, and my exacting standards regarding materials. It is this perspective of a craftsman and professional artist that I now offer you.


THE LOCATIONS: ARTIST'S STUDIO in Montreuil / POCKET STUDIO in Paris 15th
Lessons are given in my private 20m² studio, a 14-minute walk or 11-minute bus ride (Bus 122) from the Gallieni metro station - Line 3. It's a quiet workspace with a north-facing aspect, offering the constant and ideal natural light sought by painters. Alternatively, lessons are available in my smaller studio in the 15th arrondissement of Paris (2 minutes from the Cambronne metro station - Line 8).

Hassane
Young student in License 3 in computer science at the Faculty of Créteil, I propose to give courses in computer office automation, namely Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Power Point, and Computer Communication with software Adobe and Microsoft.

Office Automation:

As for desktop computing, the student will have the basics of applications, if necessary, then it will evolve from an intermediate level to an advanced level with a mastery of office tools for professional use.

- With Microsoft Word, the student will be able to layout a document containing images, shapes, tables and graphs; Manage advanced formatting and be able to connect the Word document to a database to manage mailings.

- With Microsoft Excel, the student will be able to manipulate the basic functions, namely digital operations, format tables, insert graphics and connect tables, etc.
The idea of this course is to change the student from a beginner level to an intermediate level.

- With Microsoft Power Point, the student will be able to prepare successful good presentations in design and special effects, use multimedia content in presentations. If the student is strong enough, he will be introduced to the use of the formidable tool, in terms of creation of interactive animation, which is Adobe Flash, to make outstanding presentations.

Communication Computer Graphics:
For graphic design classes, students will have a good introduction to Adobe Photoshop Tools, Adobe Illustrator, and Microsoft Expression Design, which is relatively similar to Adobe Illustrator, but much easier than Adobe Illustrator.

- With Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Expression Design, students will learn how to use the various tools for creating shapes and objects, learn how to trace and vector images, how to use different color profiles and different special effects, etc. This course is designed to bring a student from a beginner level to an intermediate level (or rather advanced, but not very thorough)

- With Adobe Photoshop, the student will learn to use the tools for retouching images and creations, understand the concept of layers and understand how to manage color profiles in the different objects in the workspace. This course is really designed for beginners.
