Website :

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.

Last year I sold 3 pieces. This year I want to sell more!

[@Ratswithshivs]

That’s amazing!!

[@Random_Woman]

Your videos are so helpful. I am so grateful to have found this channel! I am currently a university student and paid a lot of money to take several painting classes so far and have learned more in ONE of your FREE videos than I did in some of those classes. Makes me feel like u wasted my money.

[@jumanas4012]

Love it , being a cat owner i will defiantly try it , thanks

[@tomb9441]

What do you think about water mixable oil painting? Especially for beginners.

[@crisalidathomassie1811]

This is the most encouraging video for oil painting to begin 2024! Thanks so much! I got the Egyptian cat and it will be my first painting for 2024. You are amazing and your motivational and encouraging words means a lot to me. Thank you! I wish you the best and great success in your artist journey. Greetings from Champaign, Illinois, USA. Cheers for a great 2024! My challenge is painting white objects, more specific, white roses😢. Any advice on this area? Take care and all the best for each day.

I used the live for painting but after a 7 year break I'm terrified to start again.

[@huntsail3727]

Enjoyed this. I downloaded the image and will give it a try. Your extended course also looks interesting, might be what I am looking for this year. Let's start with this simple painting, and see how it goes. Thanks for the video!

I got discourse but don’t-understand what you said the channel was called; something like arttellier ?! So what is it please ?

[@Arnoldman-ep9gw]

Egyptian art doesn't sell. People want Cubisim, or abstract
