“Dear Pascale, I am so very sorry that I didn’t get to meet you in person this week – it just happened to be an extremely busy one! But I wanted to say how very much Charlotte enjoyed her art ‘stage’! She was extremely happy and enthusiastic every day when she came home and she could not wait to show me everything that you have achieved together during the week. And indeed, it was all very beautiful! I am very impressed by how much you managed to get done in only two hours a day. And the variety of techniques that you use. At the same time, it is really a nice surprise to come across a half-day ‘stage’ which is, I think, perfect for children after the rigours of the school term! As an added bonus, Charlotte made a very nice Irish girl called Elise and they are going to play together next week. So it really couldn’t have gone better! Thank you enormously for all your efforts which are greatly appreciated. Have a good weekend! Kind regards.”

MIXED MEDIA
This course will give you the opportunity to try a lot of different techniques. In painting: aquarelle, acrylics, oil, pigments, inks, Chinese ink,... on different supports (papers, canvas...). In drawing: charcoal, graphite pencils, soft & oil pastels... In graphics: felts, posca's, collages,... Different aspects in the history of art will be approached : portraits, landscapes, still-lives, abstraction, printing techniques,sculpting with clay... Every student will be encouraged to believe in his/her creative potential and to experience that. These art courses are as well for beginners as for advanced people. Emphasis is on enjoying the process and discovering the inner self through art.
From time to time, we will do as well exercices from the Betty Edwards' Method "Drawing with your right brain". Those make it easy to learn in simple steps to draw the reality as it is: objects, perspective, portraits, hands...
This course is as well suited for beginners, as for persons who want to deepen their knowledge, rather in oil or/and acrylics. You will get familiarized with the basics: binders, solvants, varnishes... Color mixing rules, and how to create a strong composition, will be part of your programm. With oil or acrylic, one can obtain "easily" effects : translucency, chiara obscura, carnation, etc... It's all about the right mix of colors, textures, forms, intentions, spirit and movement. Feel free to submit your own projects. We have lots of documenation in the studio too.
This Illustration course explores the fundamentals of several techniques and deploys the potential watercolors offers. From realism to abstraction, discover how to handle brushes and colors, through the mastery of paper and water. After having tackled the essential question of the material (the colors, the tools, the paper) we will quickly get to the heart of the matter: Washes and gradients, brush effects and filling methods, paper humidity, masking and use of reserves, material effects and other textures. Each Term is dedicated to one technique (watercolor, liquid inks, colour pencils) in order to explore the full potential of illustrative arts.
At first, you will learn the basics of drawing from nature : how to measure, how to recognize the shapes, understand the rules of perspective and composition and how to apply them. Further on, we will study portraiture and human figure and mostly use a black pencil, as we will look after the possibilities of tonal drawing (different greys, whites and blacks). Color study will be part of the program a bit later. During the last term, we will go outside and practice urban sketching.

“Dear Pascale, I wanted to thank you for the lovely afternoon my daughter Olivia spent at your atelier with her friends. Marine was indeed a fantastic animator. She was attentive to the girls and very efficient. Each kid modelled a little animal of their choice and they enjoyed the whole experience very much. It was very well organised and your atelier is so cozy, warm and inspiring. We keep a very fond memory of the party and I’ll no doubt contact you again on another occasion. Best regards” S.L
“We celebrated my daughter’s 5 year anniversary at Art en Ciel and it was indeed a great experience, which we will definitely repeat. The children were all excited about the project (drawing and then painting a magical tree), which was appropriately chosen for their age and clearly explained. The overall atmosphere was very relaxed and festive, and all the children felt at ease expressing themselves. Thank you for making this day special !” GBF
“Dear Pascale Thank you so much for giving Harry such a wonderful birthday party last Sunday. He absolutely loved it and is very proud of his clay treasure chest and all the treasure in it. I have had many compliments from other parents saying how much their children enjoyed the party and how brilliant you were. It’s not easy keeping 11 five and six year olds engaged for an hour and a half, but you managed it effortlessly, keeping every one of them interested and happy the whole time. You have a real talent for teaching art to children and giving them the confidence to try things for the first time. Thank you for making Harry’s birthday so special. With best wishes for the future” Catherine

Testimonials
I’ve been attending art classes with Pascale for nearly 6 years, her class having become one of the most enjoyable moments in my week. Through Pascale’s skill, competence and encouragement, I have discovered “the artist in me” and this creativity has in turn increased my self-confidence. I now believe there is an artist in each of us! With each class, I continue to explore and expand my competences through each new medium she proposes. A talented artist with great sensitivity and insight, her other strength lies in her ability to allow students to discover themselves through their art. Thanks, Pascale! K.K
I would recommend Pascale’s art classes to all ages, they are informative, relaxing and fun, you will be inspired and challenged and have the opportunity to socialise and go home with your very own masterpiece each week, what more can you ask for. K.S
My seven year old daughter really enjoyed her week with Pascale. She got to try using different techniques and materials, and created artwork that she would not have been able to do at home. She enjoyed working in Pascale’s studio & felt like a ‘real artist’. KJ
