Philippe is a very experienced artist with great personal and professional skills as art teacher. I have been attending his classes at Woluwart for more than 11 years and he has constantly encouraged and motivated me to pursue my artistic interests, and helped me to improve my painting skills!

I had the great pleasure to follow Phil's classes and seminars, which truly gave me a boost in my artistic journey. Apart from being an extremely talented artist, he truly acts as a helper/advisor rather than a teacher, respecting your own way of seeing art and giving you pertinent advice when requested or needed. Whatever medium or style you like for your art, I am certain that Phil will be a great addition to it. I warmly recommend him!
Techniques and themes
Choose your theme & choose your technique: Drawing, painting, pastels, pencils, watercolor...
Portraiture, Anatomy, and the Human Figure
Successful portraiture requires careful observation as well as quality execution.
The crucial steps in creating a successful portrait from a photo are:
- Layout
- Proportions between mouth, eyes, nose, ears and hair
- Basic and detailed sketches
- Contrast and coherence between each grey value
- Transitions between shadow zones
- Coloring Working in reverse with the left hand will encourage a different approach.
Landscape, Nature and Perspective
To achieve success when painting or drawing a landscape, it is essential to consider factors such as perspective, angle of view, lighting, and framing.
The emphasis will be on the creative process of landscape painting: observing details, outlining shapes, making a basic sketch, adding shadows and textures, and rendering the effects of light and shadow. For painters, this will involve evaluating colours, studying blends and working on layers with different tools.
Art research and abstraction
When it comes to research, the marvellous is often where you least expect it, which makes it all the more exciting when you discover it.
The workshop will help you to develop your creativity. You will experiment with dips, monotypes, stencils, photocopier make-up and alterations to paper or painted subjects by scraping, sanding, overpainting, applying an oil glaze and cutting and gluing. You will experiment with various tools, including spatulas, knives, brushes, spalters and improvised tools such as rope, thread, sponges and sandpaper.
