Introduction

Here in some lines, my manner of seeing the teaching of the watercolour, my methods to transmit to my pupils this art sometimes so subtle and often random.
This alchemy between knowledge and teaching is not always obvious, for my part, it is not possible that if there exists a true pleasure of discovered and sharing.

Exchange

The exploration of the techniques and easy ways are primarily centered around the harmonization of my workshops. So that the training is advantageous with all, the courses set so that the exchange occurs between the most advanced beginners and.

To begin

For the newcomers, I highly advise not to buy of material in order to avoid useless expenditure on kits of which finally one is never useful oneself entirely. Some samples of various papers, pallets, pigments and brushes are always available to the workshop.

the pupil begin with a subject; sea, sky… And in free expression. The policy consists in seeking starters of solutions to manage to create an image.
Then, starting from the same subject, one changes ambience, the page layouts, papers...
The result is always with go, even for the least gifted.

Choice

The choice of its subject personal, “is not imposed”, I adapt my councils to each person in particular.
Cette method allows the evolution and the personal discovery or each one can work at its rate/rhythm without having to wait until such or such finishes, for be able to advance.
Certain pupils work with much water, others prefer paint in smoothness, in more dry By seeing its neighbor working differently, naturally that brings the idea and the desire for testing.

Method

- I do a collective work with demonstrations, that with the general request and without obligation of follow-up.
- I never correct directly on the sheet, except if the pupil makes the request of it. With each successful and finished watercolour the author can sign it “authenticity”.
- For the more precise topics, like the portrait for example, I work by modules, but nothing prevents the person who wants to initiate herself individually to do it with the workshop.
- I limit the number of people so that each one well is surrounded and corrected instantaneously.
- I consider that the personality of each artist must be found in his painting. The best means of arriving there is to preserve this one at the beginning of the training.

Once the controlled techniques, the painter in watercolours becomes a magician with unlimited imagination.

A soon
