Drawing and painting lessons for the 12 to 25 years old with Edouard Vanasse

My class is for teenagers and young adults who want to develop classic techniques as well as discover their unique artistic voice. I inquire about the goals and desires of each of my students in order to offer them a personalized learning path. I teach notions of portraiture, observational drawing, composition, shadow and light, colors and form. I can also help students who wish to explore their imagination.

I have been drawing daily for over 20 years, drawing my inspiration from my imagination and the world around me. I received a classical training and I continue my studies in painting and drawing at Concordia University. I am currently in my second year and am working to refine and expand my practice. I paint mainly in oil and I draw with several mediums. My process is both meticulous and instinctive. On the one hand, I aim to perfect my realistic technique, and on the other, I make sure to satisfy my need for emotional and subconscious expression. My style is close to surrealism and expressionism.
