A Drawing and Panting Program for Those, who Loves Nature.

38.07 C$ /h

If you have a beautiful garden or live in a countryside close to nature, you can start your drawing with exercises using simple plants.The shapes that can be found in the natural environment are variable and studying them is a true pleasure.

Take a look at these drawings below. These drawings by Henri Matisse were inspired by ordinary trees and plants.

Art, drawing and painting. An art teacher with more than 10 years of experience

31.73 C$ /h

I invite you to join my lessons of art and academic drawing.
The program of the courses includes drawing, art discussing, studying
the techniques of grand masters, drawing with different means,
developing an ability to understand the History of Art.
Most of my students are planning to enter an art academy, but also
I teach families with children and adults, who are non-professional artists.

If you practice visual arts, whatever you do, whether it is painting or drawing from life, any work still reveals, even implicitly, your knowledge of perspective, understanding of the conveyance of space depth on the 2-dimensional plane of a sheet....

These skills are universal to all visual art disciplines, they are important to every artist, and mastering them will make you part of a group of professionals.

However, to advance in training you must understand your mistakes and be able to evaluate your works. This requires individual work with a teacher one-on-one. Therefore, I offer lessons, advice on drawing via Skype in real time mode one-on-one with the teacher, in the course of which we will discuss particularly your works, analyze particularly your works and select tasks for independent work particularly for you.

At the lessons I answer the questions about art, artists, history of art, give consultations on homework, the drawings that were made independently, discuss different topics related to art.
Using my experience working as a graphic designer and my experience from working at an advertising agency, I have developed an art program that helps eleven to sixteen year old children gain applicable and useful skills in drawing and painting which could be relevant in numerous professions. The lessons are relevant to various topics that can give a child a general outlook on different art professions.

Except for academic drawing and painting skills, we study professional terms and topics that are related to different commercial art fields. This overview is important because though many children are interested in drawing, they may not know their precise artistic inclinations. They can not answer the question, "what artistic field (animation, movie making, graphic design etc.) interests them most?"

We review classical textbooks at the lessons, and discuss how drawing skills, and the understanding of composition are used in different art fields.

Most of us are familiar with the classical textbook on typography, Typography by Emil Ruder. But how do we understand it ? What is the "negative space" of a character? How do we tell a story using visually different types? And what is most interesting in the work of a graphic designer? These questions are answered at my lessons.

Other engrossing books are:

Picture Composition for Film and Television by
Peter Ward, and The Visual Story : Creating the Visual Structure of Film, TV and Digital Media by Bruce Block.

These books discuss art in a professional framework and define the professional terms that are used in movie making and video. They are understandable to children over fourteen years old
who study academic drawing, painting and composition under my direction.

I took part in these exhibitions-
1996 CATECHISMUS-450, Vilnius, Lithuania
1997 Lietuvos MOKYKLAI-600, Vilnius, Lithuania
MINI PRINT INTERNATIONAL 18 , Cadaques, Spain
18DE BIENNALE VAN DE KLEIGRAFIEK , Belgium
2000 INTERNATIONAL TRIENNAL OF GRAPHIC ART, Bitola, Czech Republic
2008 SOVIART gallery. Group exhibition. Kiev, Ukraine.

Also I won some Awards -
2002 II Prize International Plain air in Pshemysl, Poland
2003 Grant | residency Foundation Valparaiso, Spain
2006 Bourse de Gouvernement Français, (Scholarship of French government), ENS de Cachan, Paris, France
2007 Partial scholarship | residency San Serrat, Spain
2008 III Prize in Painting Contest De Ribas organized by the Embassy of Spain, Kiev, Ukraine

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.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

This course is aimed at photographers and visual creators who want to take their images beyond capture, developing a professional editing workflow and their own visual identity.

Throughout these sessions, we will learn to use the fundamental tools of Adobe Lightroom Classic to optimize photo quality, correct technical issues, and enhance their visual impact. We will work from organizing and selecting images to advanced digital development, retouching, and final adjustments for printing or digital publication.

In addition to the technical aspects, the course places special emphasis on developing a coherent and personal aesthetic. We will analyze visual references, the use of color, contrast, light, and atmosphere to understand how to transform a photograph into an image with its own character and language.

Let me show you how creative you already are! In this class we will explore creativity through engaging exercises, imagination challenges, games, storytelling, observation, and experimentation.
