Let's meet !

Hello! My name is Tristan, I am a passionate painter fascinated by realism. My journey in art began during my childhood with vast drawings of knights and continued through my adolescence with the occasional sketch of portraits.

Then, at 25, I decided to buy oil paint tubes and dive into it, to live the artist's life I had always dreamed of without attending an art school. Through trial and error, I managed to create my first canvases and make them realistic. That's why I want to share my expertise to help others fulfill their dreams of an artistic life.

Painting a complete artwork takes time, and I completely understand that you may not have the time to paint it all at once.

  • Are there any prerequisites for taking this course?
    No prerequisites are necessary. Just the desire to progress!
  • Can this course be taken in acrylic painting ?
    Yes, it's possible, but by using a drying retarder because acrylic paint dries much faster than oil paint. However, you are about to embark on a completely new painting method, so why not dare to experience oil painting? 😉
