Everything you always wanted to do with round brushes

Brush strokes with round and filbert brushes; many types of flowers to practise them.

Ribbons and roses

Crackle, crackle, crackle...

Experiment crackling with ten products, on 16 samples. (Products provided by teacher).

Teaching is a very important part of my artist life. My goal is to help student achieving their full artistic potential through practice. To do that, I strive to deliver clear, concise information about painting techniques, in a relaxed environment. During the last five years, I developed one day technical seminars that I have been teaching since, everywhere in Quebec (in French, mostly). The first one, Mad about brushes was given at the last Kaswood convention (in Toronto) in 2004. You have here a description of each one of them.

These one day seminars can be delivered in English, upon request. Please contact me if you have interest in any of them.

Six brushes (fan, foliage, wave, script flat, rake and blender), loads of techniques, a full day of work and fun!
