Professional painting artist. I celebrated my 25 years of career in 2023. My artworks are exhibited in artgalleries throughout France and foreign countries, I’m keen on transmitting my art passion to others . That’s why I have been proposing water colour and oil on canvas classes for all these years in luminous and beautiful spots paint.
So let’s join us all around the country in Bretany, Provence, Oleron Island and in my art studio in New Aquitaine…
Suitable to your needs...
A collective and practical course with an individual follow up
A carefull organisation
More than 25 years of experience amid people from all walks of life helped me to develop a pedagogic and adapted organization for every kind of personalities…
Listening and goodness
The training course enables each to get regular and rigourous progress inside the group in a good humour and quietness atmosphere.
A good cherishing moment for one’self…
Personal fulfilment
What’s better personal gratification than come back home satisfied and convinced that one can learn at any age…
Thanks to your Art class, take that time for you to forget your problems and worries…Everything is prepared for you to let go…
The process ?...
Evything is gonna be all right !
My experience showed me that students often feel ridiculous to be the beginners of the group…
That’s why I always work with small subgroups of a same level, helping them to progress freely in a total secure way amid other same level students…
No need to know how to draw !
Neither need to know how to draw, or to have participated to other practicing courses before you join the class. Your are enthousiastic, open learning mind and trusting, then let things fit and everything just feels right…
Water and water colour or texture and oil on canvas ?...
Let’s discover water colour’ fluidity or oil on canvas’ energy in “Alla prima” technique…
The student in water colour as much as the one in oil on canvas, will develop his own creativiy as much as his skills by learning how to use the fundamentals of the medium, the mixing of colours, and the knowledge of coloured pigments (cadmiums, binders…). Together, we will learn how to use the chiaroscuro, the light and shadows, and so many other things…
A personlized follow up
In my art classes, I’m trying to be as much attentive as possible to each one, helping me to catch each one’s difficulty, as well as each one’s significant propensity to develop…
Adapt myself to each one
Adapt myself as much to beginners who need my particular regard, as well as to advanced ones who need a larger autonomy, is how I use my long teaching experience to adapt myself with a long-time planned pedagogy.
Painting on Site
All the painting work is exclusively in time course, with subjects adapted to each level...
In small groups if the weather is good, we will go and paint our beautiful nature.
Paint Provence and its lavenders, sailing boats in Bretany or Oleron or fruits and flowers in South Aquitaine, but always in real subject. No work on pictures, exclusively a lively painting work...
First of all the drawing
Both beginners and confirmed, will practice drawing and painting. The ones will discover the rudiments of the drawing, and the others will reinforce their learning...
We will illustrate the key points as the lines,, the proportions, the basics of composition, and so on...
Adapted materials
All the materials and equipment are at your disposal to give you a working confort on camping seats and tables, sunshades...no bad back position, no sitting on the floor...eveything is confortably organised.....
Regarding the painting matérials, a complete list is sent to you once your inscription is confirmed...
Just think about painting...
Let's spoil yourself

Before
Let’s join us by train, bus, plane or carpool
I personally propose carpool to people who would be on my way to the course, and if you come by train, I can collect you at the railway station on my way.
During the courses
On place, we take our cars in carpool to go on the painting sites, and after the course, anybody is free to make tourism, have sea bath or any activity…
May you be with or without a car, we take care to organize ourselves so that you can have your freetime the way you need...
Tasty and homemade food
Each guesthouse cooks its own home made and balanced meals, in individual plates.
Make sure you are going to enjoy all your meals !
(For any special diet, please inform at inscription)
Regular breaks
During your day, tea and coffee breaks are proposed, and picnic moment for the lunch in a friendly ambiance.
Make a painting course, is as much a moment of pure fun to paint beautiful landscapes or nice flowers, as a moment of personal gratification, happiness and good spirit.
Let us be taken...
Shall we set out for the adventure ?
A great thank you to all participants who regularly come back to my painting courses.
Places are limited to maintain a good quality of courses, it's thus better to reserve your place as early as possible...
