You don’t have to be a professional artist to have the right to create. A unique method of awakening spontaneous drawing in adults.

You don’t have to be a professional artist to have the right to create. Spontaneous drawing doesn’t require a license to draw a line. We have our own well of images inside us which can be re-activated.
But how? To draw spontaneously, a practical method, offering suggestions and advice, allow us to overcome the anxiety of the blank page.

About Me

Serge is an artist, a specialist in methods of self-expression.
Serge is the author of « Manuel de dessin spontané à l’usage des adultes ». Ed.l’Harmattan – Paris
Autopictographie
This is a name I created in 2005 to define the method and the exercises that go with it, aimed at re-awakening spontaneous drawing in adults. There is very little literature dedicated to spontaneous drawing in adults because we consider that the door has been closed for a very long time,

Education

Serge has a degree in Philosophy from the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
20 years spent experimenting with adults and children, and 99% of powerfully graphic results have proven that it is possible to escape from behind that locked door. More than one hundred exercises based on different techniques make up the backbone of the method. One of its principal characteristics is the close working relationship between learner and teacher. “In substance, writing and drawing are identical” (Paul Klee)

Traditional & Post-Contemporary Realist Oil Painting
Note: ALL SUPPLIES & TOOLS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE STUDENTS FOR THE FIRST TEN (10) LESSONS — All canvas, stretcher-bars, panels, paper, brushes, pens, pencils, ink, charcoal, paints, varnish, etc. The finished artworks are, of course, your to keep. There are many ways to create a so-called "realistic" oil painting. And there are many visual tools that an artist can use to make a beautiful visual statement. Whether using thick impastos, thin washes of solvent-based color, bodied glazes, or mixed media elements, each technique can yield an engaging visual experience. Painting is, after all, a means of communication. In this course, we will begin with the basic ideas and techniques for drawing and painting forms as the eye sees them. You will learn every stage for producing aesthetically pleasing and technically strong oil paintings. We will discuss concepts and ideas for painting, developing different studies, stretching the canvas, line drawing, tonal lay-in, dead-coloring (or color block-in), and modeling the forms (1st painting, 2nd painting, and finishing). We will also cover the techniques of alla prima or premier coup (direct painting in one pass). We will also study the formal methods of composition, different kinds of perspectives, paint surface and paint quality (facture), and proportions. And, of course, we will discuss the use of varnishes, including the final picture varnish. Stay calm and confident if some of these terms are new to you. We will adapt the lessons for each artist. I will help you to learn, understand, and perform each step of the painting process. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced painter: there is something for you!

Learn how to draw: If you can See, you can Draw :-)
A lot of people think they cannot draw. But before drawing, it is about "seeing". Actually if you can see, you can draw. Not only objects, but portraits, animals, whatever you want. By developing the aptitude of observing the reality using the right part of your brain, you learn how to draw what you really see instead of drawing what you think you already know about this reality. This technique was a revelation as it allowed me to progress quickly when I was young. It's on this base that I will help you to learn another way of looking at things around you and show you some tricks to overcome difficulties as perspective, foreshorten,...

Mastering Painting & Drawing Techniques with Art History Insights
"Immerse yourself in the world of fine arts with a class designed to build technical skill and artistic understanding! As a fine arts graduate specializing in painting, I bring hands-on expertise in pencil drawing, watercolor, acrylic, and pastels. In addition to practical techniques, we’ll explore key movements in art history, providing context and inspiration to deepen your creative work. This class is ideal for beginners eager to learn foundational skills and for more experienced artists looking to refine their techniques while gaining historical insights. Together, we’ll work through form, color theory, and composition, enhancing your skills and understanding of art. Join me to explore the rich tradition of fine arts through practice and study!" My Teaching Style: I believe every artist has their own voice, and my goal is to bring that voice to life. Each lesson begins with a foundational exercise tailored to your level—whether it’s exploring shading techniques, experimenting with color, or working on brush control. I guide you through practical demonstrations and then provide you the space to create freely with constructive feedback to support your growth. Alongside technique, I introduce art history elements to spark ideas and show how art can reflect your personal expression. Let’s work together to refine your skills, build confidence, and bring your artistic vision to life!"

The Art of Building through drawing, painting and engraving
During the classes you will learn about the art of building through drawing, painting, engraving and sculpting. By drawing you will learn the effect of a monument according to its place, for drawing appears to be the best means of developing intelligence and judgment. You will also learn about orientation, light and shade. You will inscribe in your mind the methods used by the masters to produce the desired effect on a given place under particular conditions. You will analyse the fundamental principles, the rules of proportion, those gentle relationships between the parts and the whole, which the ancients gave to the orders in ancient buildings, to those of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. To communicate your thoughts clearly, to record your observations and to find the reason for all things, you will draw, paint and engrave from nature. Drawing is a language, a means of expression and communication, an art that complements and is indispensable to all professions, such as speaking and writing. COURSE CONTENT Subjects: Architecture, urban planning, nature, history of architecture, history of cities, building techniques, natural materials, sacred geometry, decoration, ornamentation and many more! Techniques: Creation of natural paints (watercolour and gouache - access to a kitchen), sketching, perspective, sacred geometry, measured drawing, watercolour, gouache, charcoal and engraving on stoneware or wood.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
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.
