Bonjour, I'm Cecile!

I paint with different mediums, including digital, and gouache is my favorite medium, it's so fun and versatile!

  I believe that art can help you express yourself, find your voice, and discover who you are. And I want to help you do that.

 I've been teaching art classes for five years, and I've seen how powerful they can be for more than 22,000 students.   With my easy and inspiring tutorials for beginners, I empower you to express yourself and give you the tools for creativity.

This course was the free 5 Days Gouache Illustration Challenge from January 2023.
It's now a paid course, as I have released a new Free Gouache Bootcamp.

Hooray for Cecile!

This was my first try with gouache and Cecile's videos were a perfect tutorial. I loved the wintry project and all of the support in the community. Cecile has a way with explaining things that really made sense to me and her support for everyone in the comments was beautiful to see. Thank you for this opportunity, Cecile! I look forward to watching more of your videos and participating in your courses!
