  • "This trip has been incredible! I loved all of your workshops. The reminder to simplify my drawings and express my ideas without getting too detailed was particularly helpful for me.

    Since I often fall back into trying to be overly precise, I will follow your methods to keep my sketches looser. I absolutely LOVE the step-by-step guides you posted in our Chat.

    I've enjoyed every aspect of the trip. I also hope to see you again soon! Your art is truly inspiring. » —B.L.

  • Over the years, I have had the pleasure of teaching students from France, Switzerland, Belgium, the United States, Canada, and Australia. My workshops have taken us to some of the most beautiful and inspiring locations around the world. From the vibrant streets of Vietnam to the romantic canals of Venice, the charming city of Quebec, the coastal town of Roscoff, and the iconic landmarks of Paris. We've also explored the majestic French Alps, the historic castles of the Loire Valley, the lively streets of Madrid, the spiritual journey of Santiago de Compostela, and the picturesque city of Porto.

    Each destination has offered unique opportunities for creativity and learning, leaving participants with unforgettable memories and beautiful sketchbook pages. Join us on this artistic adventure and create your own lasting keepsake of these incredible experiences.
