Bonjour! I'm Cécile, artist and teacher who's passionate about helping others learn new skills. I've had a lot of success with online students so far, and I'm excited to share what I've learned with you.
After four years of online teaching, I find that online classes are fine, but I feel the need to help you more. This is why I created 'Art With Cécile' Membership, with tutorials, interactive live painting sessions and coaching so you can really go forward in your art journey.
I graduated from art school so you don't have to, and have always been drawing, painting, experimenting with digital art, oil paints, acrylic, crayons, watercolor, and gouache.
I have filled more than a hundred sketchbooks along the way, made 40+ classes for 22,000+ students, learned a thing or two, that I'm excited to share with you now!
Recorded video courses on the monthly topic, with theory and practice with gouache or sometimes other mediums.
Every month brings a new topic to keep your creativity flowing.
Each month, a complete gouache painting during a live session on Zoom, related to the monthly technique.
Join me live, ask questions, and get real-time feedback. It’s like having a personal art coach right at your fingertips.
Each month, you can send me up to 3 paintings you did. I review them in a private video and give you ideas to improve technically.
Submit your work for personalized feedback. Let’s make your art shine together!

Fabulous Art with Cécile
Hi Cécile, I just wanted to say this is the best Art School online. Your culmination of a bright cheerful disposition, extensive knowledge, experience and instructive supportive style, makes your lessons fun whilst factual and methodical sometimes loose and experimental. The Membership System you offer, has so much to enjoy and so many lessons to build a solid core of knowledge. Including: access to all the lessons for my level. They are set out in a structured way taking me from introducing what items, paints, accessories etc I needed, to each step learning painting techniques. Or I can jump around and paint from any of the categories where I love the theory of drawing, painting, composition, contrast, colour, etc. I love I can do this all my way and join other activities if I want to add additional subjects such as portraits. Plus there is our private student community group that allows me to post my paintings in, a warm and friendly group with you and others commenting. The live monthly lessons where you teach over Zoom and spend time with each student, are also very instructive on replay. And sending you up to three paintings a month and you giving me constructive help and personal feedback is priceless. And you do a special live draw, this month that lovely hot chocolate for us all to paint. I only started painting with you a few months go. I had tried three other teaches and there wasn’t the experience. Teaching is an art in itself. Already you have taught me to paint well enough my daughter on seeing my paintings, has asked me to paint a landscape painting for her 40th Birthday. I was shocked she was so impressed and adamant and really honoured this is what she wanted. Thank you very much for making it possible to be on my Gouache Painting Journey, and start expressing my creativity so freely. Rosey Brumm

I came here for gouache lessons but came away with so much more
I joined in January and was too busy the first couple of months to do more than browse. I've had more time recently and I have become more involved. The lessons are fun, the other members are lovely and Cecile is a very generous tutor. Her lessons are fun and engaging and cover a wide variety of styles. I have learnt so much and would encourage anyone to try this art school.

The place to be if you love to draw and paint!
I joined the membership in December 2022 and since then I've learned so much allready! How to choose your colors, layering, contrast in your painting, highligthing. There is a different theme every month with tutorials and you can draw toghether with the lovely Cécile and other members. That is so nice! I love the community where you can post your art and ask questions. Everybody is so friendly and encouraging. There is also a live Q&A session every month where Cécile will comment your art and answers the question(s) you have about it. That is so usefull! I would like to learn more about composition and watercolor. But I'm sure that will come! I never regretted that I joined this membership :-)
