Passing it on

Lessons & Workshops

I don't wish to keep what a long journey has taught me to myself alone. Private lessons — by video call or in the studio —, group workshops or talks: several formats to share this discipline, at your own pace.

Online bookings open from 1 September.

Four ways to learn

For a private lesson (by video call or in the studio), choose a module below. Slots are open from 1 September. Booking opens in a new tab — you can close it at any time.

I

Private lessons by video call

By video call, at your own pace and from home — oil, watercolour, glazing technique. One-to-one guidance, tailored to your level and your projects.

Around €60–80 per hour

II

Private lessons in the studio

Face to face, in my studio — for those who prefer to learn in direct contact with the materials, pigments and glazes, with all the equipment at hand.

Around €60–80 per hour

III

Group workshops

In the studio, over two to three days. A collective immersion in still life and the glazing technique, from the preparatory drawing to the final varnish.

Around €400–600 per workshop

IV

Talks & demonstrations

For associations, art schools or fairs wishing to host a talk on still life painting, the Flemish heritage, or the glazing technique.

My method, in five modules

Private lessons (by video call or in the studio) follow my own methodology, module by module — each one bookable independently.

I

Preparing the support

The surface must be perfectly even to receive the precision of the drawing to come — choosing and preparing wood, canvas or copper depending on the subject.

II

Sketch

Laying out the masses and the composition, before any colour — a pencil line as fine as possible, so as not to weigh anything down before colour arrives.

III

Flat tones

A very light wash, a soft flat tone — sometimes even made from the crushed fruit itself, as with strawberries, to lay down a first hue as close as possible to the real subject.

IV

Glazes

Pigment is worked into successive transparent layers, drying after drying, until the desired depth is reached.

V

The final amber glaze

The finishing touch, which unifies the surface and gives it that sheen close to the old Dutch varnishes.

A demanding, yet accessible, teaching approach

I did not learn this craft in a school, but through diligent research, step by step and in detail — the very thing I want to pass on. It is not only a matter of technique: it is also a way of looking, of observing a subject down to its smallest detail, until it can be seen, felt, and understood.

Whether in a private lesson, a workshop, or a demonstration, I try to share what painting has taught me along the way: the choice of pigments and binders, the preparation of the support, the patience of the glaze — and the conviction that no technology will ever replace the brush.
