What are the painting classes like?

Imagine a warm, welcoming studio where you progress at your own pace, guided step-by-step, while painting a subject that truly inspires you. No stress, no imposed themes—just the joy of learning and creating.

​

🎨 A personalized approach

Our classes combine theory, hands-on practice, discussion, and artistic exploration—always tailored to your skill level and interests. You choose a work of art or an image that inspires you, because when you love your subject, you enjoy painting more… and you learn better! Since a painting can sometimes take several sessions to complete, it’s best to choose a subject you’re passionate about. Each canvas brings its own challenges and learning opportunities.

​

📏 Choose your format

You’re free to paint on the canvas size of your choice. For a first experience, I recommend a medium format (around 16" x 20"): large enough to work comfortably, but not so big that it becomes overwhelming.

​

From your very first session, you will learn:

  • How to read a paint tube and identify the key information for your purchases.

  • The basic brushes and how to use them.

  • The color wheel to understand color theory and mixing.

  • The grid method to transfer your sketch onto the canvas.

  • And yes—you’ll start painting right from the very first class!

 

⏳ The structure of each session

Each class includes a theory segment (15 to 30 minutes) and dedicated time for painting. Topics may include: shadows and light, atmospheric perspective, human body proportions, and more.

​

As the weeks go by, practice takes on a bigger role, allowing you to learn while painting—mastering your brushes, creating effects, and composing your works.

​

🎯 Your pace, your paintings

Depending on your pace, canvas size, and subject complexity, you may complete one or several works during the session.

​

In summary: here, you progress step-by-step, you choose what inspires you, and you learn in a motivating and relaxed atmosphere. Every class is a new creative adventure…

​

All that’s left is to sign up and choose your first subject!
