Trainer for 10 years, I offer to support you in your learning of Photoshop software by working on concrete examples.

Photoshop is an image processing software. Assimilate the methods of acquiring external images in Photoshop, as well as the links. Learn how to sort and mark the images to be processed.

Photoshop for photographers, the subject is as vast as the fields of application of this fascinating profession! Let us guide you and make you discover or rediscover some theoretical bases that will better understand how Photoshop works in all versions.

Take in hand Bridge and Camera Raw, which, by the way, have nothing to envy to Photoshop when it comes to organizing, viewing, selecting and processing large quantities of images.

Finally enter Photoshop by the photographic door by adapting it to your needs, by appropriating it and understanding its philosophy. What is a layer, what is a mask? I take you to the heart of Photoshop and showcases situations specific to the photography professions during which you will be free to apply the knowledge acquired.

These Photoshop or Illustrator courses will allow you to:

- To apprehend the interface and to master it by keyboard shortcuts
- Manage your creation time to be sure of the result
- To leave with finished projects

I want to make people want to create by meeting their needs for understanding sometimes complicated software.

You can come with a specific request or follow a classic course curriculum. The goal is to make you independent as quickly as possible.

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.

Developing Photoshop and Illustrator skills is a must have for any designer, architect or visualising specialist. The combination of the two skills is important and would help you learn how to combine both softwares to create the best illustrations, graphics and visuals.

I am an architect, and I specialise in these skills as I create most of my visuals and graphics using these two softwares. I have been using them for over four years and am proficient in all the shortcuts and faster methods of producing the best renders.

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.

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.

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.

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?
