A nine-hour online workshop to explore your creativity and experiment with artistic techniques

This workshop, suitable for all audiences, is designed to experiment with and explore artistic techniques. The results will surprise you.

Any technique is an excuse to play, to break the rules, and to experiment. We should feel free to try without worrying about the final outcome. As an advocate of the creative process, I believe that the goal is not the result itself but rather an element we sometimes discover midway.

Unleash your unconscious and flow throughout the process, which, on this occasion, is more important than the final result. We will enjoy the journey because it is the only thing that truly matters.

In this workshop, we will express ourselves freely, release blockages, overcome fear to enhance our creative potential. We will also learn to break and discard the work we've done. And, of course, to have fun.

I am an Architect who graduated in 2016 and a Programmist engaged in empowerment workshops for young people not only during extracurricular activities in primary school but also outside the school setting for young people aged 13 to 18. My activity essentially develops around manual practices, graphic expression and the co-construction of our environment.

I would be delighted to be able to provide support in your applications to architecture schools, develop your architectural culture, give you the necessary knowledge of drawing and DTP software (photoshop, illustrator, vectorworks, autocad...etc) .

The course structure always follows the student's wishes and objectives. Initially, we review past work, then we choose the direction to follow.

I approach drawing through two major axes: technique and poetry.
In technique we will learn about volumes, light, values, perspective and morphology.
The poetic aspect relates to the means used, the composition, and the colors.
The question is whether the technique is necessary to produce a good image.

Comics, unlike drawing, are meant to be understood and read by others. We will first learn to pay attention to panel layout in order to make the action flow smoothly and be easily understood.

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.

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.

Course in French or English.

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

My Portfolio: https://shashanimation.myportfolio.com/

With 30 years of experience in animated film, character design, backgrounds, and props, I have a solid foundation in drawing that I want to share through the fundamentals, analysis, and above all, the joy of it, even though rigor is essential for those considering formal training in applied arts. Whether on paper or screen, both options are possible.
