You know, after thirty years of teaching folks how to draw here in Quebec, I've learned that everyone has their own special way of seeing the world. Our courses help you find yours, whether you're just starting out or looking to polish your technique.
Perfect for those who are just picking up a pencil for the first time, or maybe haven't drawn since school. We start with the basics - how to hold your pencil properly, understanding light and shadow, and building confidence with simple shapes.
Faces tell stories, and learning to capture them is quite something special. This course takes you through the intricacies of human features - from getting the eyes just right to understanding how facial muscles work together.
Living here in Quebec, we're blessed with such beautiful scenery. This course teaches you how to capture the majesty of our landscapes - from the rolling hills to the way morning light hits the trees just so.
For those who've been drawing a while and want to push their skills further. We explore different media, advanced composition principles, and develop your personal artistic voice. It's quite rewarding to see students find their unique style.
Sometimes you need that personal touch - maybe you're working on a specific project or have particular areas you'd like to focus on. I offer private lessons where we can really dig deep into whatever interests you most.
Short, intensive workshops perfect for busy folks who want to learn something new without committing to a full course. Each weekend we focus on a specific technique or subject.
Learn to capture the essence of your subject in just a few confident strokes. Great for building confidence and speed.
Sometimes we draw what we think we see, not what's actually there. This workshop trains your eye to observe more accurately.
Understanding how light works is probably the most important thing in drawing. We'll explore dramatic lighting effects.
I believe in giving you everything you need to succeed. That's why every course includes these essentials, no extra fees or surprises.
All drawing supplies, reference materials, and take-home practice sheets included.
Maximum 8 students per class ensures everyone gets personal attention and feedback.

"I never thought I could draw anything more than stick figures. But these courses... oh my goodness! Now I'm doing portraits of my grandchildren that actually look like them. My daughter couldn't believe it when I showed her my first proper drawing."

"I'm only 19 but always felt like I missed the boat on learning art. These courses proved it's never too late - or too early - to start creating!"
Retired, Calgary
"At 72, I thought my hands were too shaky for detailed work. The instructors showed me techniques that work with my limitations, not against them."
"The community aspect surprised me most. Getting feedback from other students and seeing their progress motivated me to keep practicing even when I felt stuck."
Graphic Designer, Ottawa
"I started these courses to help with my anxiety. Drawing became my meditation. Now I have a new hobby and better mental health - two birds with one stone!"

You know, after all these years of teaching folks how to draw, I've seen so many people think they just don't have "the talent." But let me tell you something - drawing is like learning to write your name. Takes practice, sure, but everyone can do it if they stick with it.
Sometimes the best drawings start with just getting your ideas down quick-like. That's what sketching is all about...
Now this is where things get interesting. Shading - that's what makes your drawing look like it's got some life to it...
Drawing faces - well, that's something special, isn't it? Been teaching portrait work for more years than I care to count, and I still get excited when I see someone capture that spark in someone's eyes. It's not about getting every line perfect, mind you.

Look, I've been around long enough to know that people keep saying "I'll start next month" or "when I have more time." But you know what? There's never a perfect time. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Same goes for learning to draw.
