Great art class!!

Just completed the 26 weeks of intensive explorations. I thoroughly enjoyed this course! Being fairly new to art, it was great to try a variety of mediums and techniques. The feedback after each lesson was also very helpful. Sandrine is always very positive and encouraging but also have great suggestions for improvements. I think this course is great for beginners like myself but also for artists with more experience. I knew I would miss the lessons so I already signed up for the creative well being class!

26 weeks of intensive explorations

I found each and every week a wonderful challenge to inspire me to aim higher and research the topics offered. I have not been painting since my college years (am now retired) and as most students I excelled at some and performed poorly at others. My knowledge has been broadened by the variety of techniques, new products and materials and their uses that have been unknown to me. I thoroughly enjoyed participating and valued the constructive and encouraging feedback. 26 weeks of enlightenment.
Thank you Sandrine

Creativity restored

Sandrine, thank you so much for creating this special course. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring all the different mediums and tapping into my creative side. Your feedback was great and I appreciate your honesty and encouragement. It was wonderful to see other classmates work. I will definitely continue to keep the creative juices flowing and revisit the techniques I learned. All the best for 2020.

26 Weeks

This class was exactly what I was looking for. 26 weeks of trying new media and techniques. I especially liked that you could do the lessons at your own pace and pretty much decide for yourself what your subject would be. The feedback from the teacher was very valuable and that, combined with trying all the different things, made this a very, very good class.

Après avoir suivi avec plaisir

Après avoir suivi avec plaisir le cours « Painting flowers from imagination in mixed media » je viens de terminer « 26 weeks of Inspiration and Training » et j’en ai été également extrêmement satisfaite.
Les 26 projets proposés sont motivants et bien détaillés.
Sandrine propose plusieurs pistes de recherche et chacun peut y trouver son compte, de l’artiste chevronné au parfait débutant.
Elle fournit de nombreuses illustrations visuelles en photos ou vidéos.
Les médiums proposés sont variés ainsi que les techniques dont certaines sont étonnantes !
En outre, Sandrine propose, sans l’imposer, un commentaire critique, toujours bienveillant mais jamais complaisant et ceci offre vraiment un plus pour progresser.

Je ne regrette pas mon investissement et je recommande vivement les cours de Sandrine.

Je suis très heureux de participer à cet atelier

Je suis très heureux de participer à cet atelier.
Malgré ca, Je suis un peu préoccupé par le fait de ne pas être capable d’atteindre une discipline de travail. Je suis en train de déménager et, aussi, il m’a fallu un certain temps pour le faire.
Je crois que mon enthousiasme me poussera à le faire.
Encore une fois, beaucoup de plaisir!

I’m really enjoying this class!

I’m really enjoying this class! Because the assignments are quit brief, it forces you to think outside your comfort zone, and to try out new mediums and approaches. The instructions are clear and accesible, and I really like the feedback Sandrine gives, it’s very helpfull . I really recommend this course to anyone wanting to explore new art forms!

Painting Flowers from Imagination was a really fun course

painting flowers from imagination

Painting Flowers from Imagination was a really fun course. The technique is very stress free. I did one painting and I thought it was way too dark and was going to gesso over it. (Normal stressing) However, Sandrine tells you how to use pastels, watercolor or acrylic to work the painting and bring out color or change color and make it what you want. Sandrine takes you through the process step-by-step and I found all my questions answered as I went along in the course. I would recommend this to anyone from beginner to experienced painter. If you like to draw, the patterns are really fun to work out and to see how they transform your paintings.

So far I have found the class very thought provoking

Online art class

So far I have found the class very thought provoking. I am having to look at everything in a more structured way rather than my usual way of diving into everything and ending up producing nothing.
I am very much looking forward to feedback as I love being involved in art and want to improve my skills.

I am not a formally trained artist

I am not a formally trained artist and was looking for a class that would give me a broad exposure to the things I might have learned had I gone to art school. This class fits the bill and is just what I was looking for. I have found the exercises, examples and tutorials so far to be excellent and I’m learning from them. The teacher’s insightful comments about my work, and the ability to see what others in the class are doing, are added bonuses.

I find this fun and exciting

I find this fun and exciting even though I’m behind the schedule. The assignments we get are quite different from my experience from the drawing classes I know. I might even try other classes.

A class very well worth taking

Just finished this online class. It is a very fun class and I learned a lot of techniques I would have not chosen to learn myself. The class opened me up to a variety of different approaches while guided by Sandrine. The description and supporting videos are clear and easy to follow. Sandrine’s feedback is very much to the point and is very kind. Now I feel ready to explore more and am ready to take the next steps. Would highly recommend this class to anybody who wants to improve.
Thank you Sandrine, you are an inspiration for many of us!!!

It pushes me to create

online classes by north vancouver artist sandrine pelissier

Love this course because it pushes me to create and think of different ways to do art. I need challenges. Sharing views and ideas with other artists is awesome. Sandrine is an excellent teacher and communicator. Very helpful and generous with her comments and her blog. She gives so many tips and explain so many of her techniques than it’s very easy for us to try and succeed sometimes. She gives us all the tools we need to achieve our goals.

So far I am loving the class

So far I am loving the class, it is challenging me in new directions, that I may not otherwise take. My art before this class has been, drawing, acrylic and a little watercolour. I have had to think for myself instead of copying other artists. Your critique is most valuable and I can immediately see the reason for your comment, so I must inherently know what I need to do to improve.
I think the class is making me a better artist already. I am enjoying learning to use different media. Highly recommend Sandrines class to all.

Both relaxing and thrilling

In this course it is both relaxing and thrilling to not have to preplan your artwork. Instead you get to play with paint for awhile and then discover the flower shapes you want to bring out. No pressure. No critic saying you can’t do this because you start out with no plan or expectation; just play. It is also great fun to find flowers that don’t have to resemble any from nature. You can’t really fail when you make up a flower. I find it fun and freeing to paint this way, and the results are rewarding, too.

J’ai beaucoup aimé ce cours.

J’ai beaucoup aimé ce cours.Cela a été une expérience à la fois relaxante et instructive.Ce qui m’a plu, c’est qu’il ne s’agit pas de reproduire quelque chose de figé mais plutôt d’avoir des informations sur le “comment faire” tout en étant libre de sa propre interprétation.D’ailleurs, en partageant sur Facebook avec les autres élèves, je me rends compte que, bien que les instructions données aient été les mêmes au départ pour tout le monde, tous les bouquets sont très différents au final.Ce qui signifie que la créativité de chacun n’a pas été bloquée par une simple copie.Tous les artistes, du débutant au plus avancé peuvent s’y retrouver et même aller plus loin et tout changer.Que demander de mieux ? J’ai d’ailleurs tellement aimé faire ces fleurs pleines de poésie et de liberté que j’ai continué avec Sandrine pour le “26 weeks”! J’étais un peu “bloquée” dans ma pratique et les cours de Sandrine m’apportent quelque chose de neuf et de joyeux.

Spot on

I immensely enjoyed the course. It was full of new techniques and materials. A big exploring adventure. Sandrine is a great teacher. Her comments are spot-on. Firm and gentle at the same time and always constructive. It was a great learning experience and above all a lot of fun.

Being half way through

Being half way through this class I really enjoy all the projects very much. It helped me so far to learn to explore different approaches and inspires me to try out new art making. The projects are very well explained and anybody can follow and learn as well as improve as an artist. I welcome Sandrine’s feedback as it is very encouraging and gives me more ideas on how I can improve.
Thank you Sandrine for creating this class!!!

Awesome tutorials and a Great teacher!

After admiring Sandrine’s art for quite some time, constantly pinning her artwork and wishing I had talent like her! I took the plunge and and I’m so glad I did! Sandrine makes art fun and her techniques are very easy to follow. Before I knew it I was creating beautiful mixed media floral art! And for the first time I actually loved what I painted! Sandrine is not only very talented, she is also very kind and generous with her time. She’s quick to answer any questions you have and always does so with a sweet disposition.

She gave me confidence in myself, which is priceless! I learned so many techniques and I was exploring different mediums I’ve never heard of let alone used before! I’ve used some of the techniques I learned in this class on other types of art, not just florals. My eyes were opened up to so many different things by this one class.

There are not enough words to explain how grateful I am to Sandrine, she put a little spark of light into my art and I’m forever thankful for her generosity.

Great Artist, Great Art-Teacher

I want to share with everybody about the experience I had taking 3 online classes an a book from Sandrine Pelissier.
I first bought the book of Fearless Watercolor for beginners. I highly recomemd this book for those who want to learn how to paint in watercolors. It teaches you step by step how to use watercolors and how to apply the different kind of techniques you can use. It also explains you the types of watercolor papers as well as the brushes. With this book it gives the energy to start painting with watercolor and the inspiration to learn more about it.

Once I read the whole book and made all the techniques from the book, I wanted to keep practising not only in watercolor but also with other medium, I took painting Imaginary Flowers. This online class was fun, beautifull, and the most important, relaxing class! Here you put in practice your imagination and creativity! There is no wrong or right here, you just need to have a grest time doing this!!

Also, I took 26 Weeks of Training and Inspiration. This is another of her online classes that I was addictived! I learn a lot here. It gave me the discipline to do it every day for 26 week. Of course, you can do it at your own pace, but I was hooked with this class. I highly recommend it!! If there were a second part, with my closed eyes I would do it!!

Lastly, I took the Express yourself, creative well being class. It was another class that helps you know yourself through your paint. This was fun. I enjoyed a lot!!

Learn Easily & Have Fun

Not only did I buy “Fearless Watercolor,” I bought “Painting Flowers From Imagination,” the DVD. I love the way Sandrine guides one through the painting process from start to finish, and makes it fun, unique and easily understandable. There’s always a piece to feel great about when you complete the process.I can’t wait to get my hands on “Painting Patterned Trees.”
I can promise that anyone interested in watercolor or mixed media will love her style as well as the way she teaches.

Sandrine Is A Great Teacher!

I loved Sandrine’s Imaginative Flower paintings the first time I saw them. I signed up for her course and have successfully created several of my own Imaginative Flowers, thanks to her clear, concise explanations and video examples. I have purchased the 26 Weeks course and have not yet had time to start it, but I am looking so forward to it! Besides the fact that I really love Sandrine’s art and teaching, I really like and respect that she makes her courses available for a lifetime!! That has not been true of most online courses I have taken, but it’s definitely something I look for and seals the deal for me when I do. A great artist, a great teacher and material for life!! I couldn’t ask for more.

I have included one of my paintings that I created following my Imaginative Painting course. The Imaginative Florals have been among my very best selling paintings, too.

Thank you, Sandrine, I appreciate you more than you know!

Exciting Techniques

I enjoyed this class immensely. I learned how to use materials I already had more effectively and in new, exciting ways. I especially liked the layering process…the building of design and “discovering” flowers, stems & leaves in the random mish-mash of shapes and colors. I highly recommend this class for those wanting to break out of the traditional floral-painting mode.

LOVED THIS CLASS

LOVED THIS CLASS, made me realize how “tight” I get with a painting. Trying to relax and go with the flow, and cannot come close to these beautiful creations……will keep trying!!!!

A big huge thank you

I’ve completed all 26 weeks and have learned a lot. Not only some techniques, but, basic approaches to planning works and critiquing my own work when completed. A big huge thank you for making 26 Weeks of Inspiration and Training available at a very affordable price. And, another huge load of thanks for taking the time to offer thoughtful and helpful critiques whenever requested. You have a gift for being both supportive and direct, and I’ve appreciated that.

It took a bit longer than 26 weeks for me to complete all the projects, still, I’m sad it’s coming to an end.

It has been a pleasure

It has been a pleasure taking these classes. The weekly tasks are very interesting and Sandrine’s feedback on the works is always constructive and very motivating. I guess these classes are important for both beginners and experienced artists, as you can learn and practice new techniques and find new ways for your work. I believe joining these classes has been of great importance for my art and I thank Sandrine for her guidance and kindness.

It was a great voyage

It was a great voyage of discovery this 26 weeks class. The lessons, the tutorials were clear and to the point, as well as Sandrine’s feedback. The feedback gives so much added value. I went through all sorts of emotions during the assignments, but it pushed me in a certain direction. I can recommend everyone to follow this class of inspiration and training, because a lot is happening!

Learned how to paint abstractly with Sandrine

I absolutely LOVE this way of painting! It opened up a whole new way for me to express myself.
I wish I had more time to do more…but here’s one that came out of my endeavors while watching one of Sandrine’s online videos. I ended up purchasing a video because of it.

I’m now also recreating one of a kind Artfits – The Art to Be on Etsy. Someday, I’d like to somehow do paintings on cloth, or transfer papers – so that it can cross over from painting to textiles. www.etsy.com/shop/thearttobe

It works like a personal coach.

With the online classes “How to sell my art online” I am working on the tips Sandrine gives me.
As I presumed it is a lot of work, but her classes are coaching me step by step to reach my goal.
The result will be shown in my web shop to realise in 2018.
Doing the work myself is a lot cheaper than hiring a professional and through these classes I will
be able to update the site myself any time necessary.

Got me going….

I joined Sandrine’s Figure drawing group in North Vancouver for a session last year after recovering from hand surgery, as well as after a 15 hiatus from drawing. Sandrine was welcoming and encouraging, and that helped me overcome my fear and anxiety about making art. I jumped in and entered pieces in the annual exhibition which was a first for me. I have continued on to explore in lots of different media over the last 18 months, and always get a boost when I get her newsletter!

This class is exactly what I needed

This class is exactly what I needed to jump start me back into drawing and painting after many years of working creatively on a computer only. The lessons flexibility and guidance are very helpful. Sandrine’s personal advice and helpful critiques have opened my eyes to another way of seeing. I feel a true sense of advancement in my skills and a widening of perceptive ability in my art. 
Thank you Sandrine!

Now art is something I do every day…

This is a great opportunity to try so many different techniques, with Sandrine’s gentle guidance and encouragement. I love this class..I have learned so much and I can see my artwork developing. I was so put off making art by an unsympathetic teacher in school, I just wish he had been like Sandrine!
Now art is something I do every day…I feel I have set out on an exciting journey…I would recommend ’26 weeks ‘ unreservedly.

It was so good for me

Thank you very much for your flower class. It was so good for me and I think my art work will be very different now because you showed me the artful process from start to finish.
Your techniques are very honest and practical and more importantly… beautiful.
I just bought your watercolour book from amazon so look forward to that.
I wish i could do a class in person but I am in Australia…..so hopefully you will do more classes online.
Many thanks again

I am enjoying the drawing class very much

I am enjoying the drawing class very much. It has really pushed me to try new methods and actually enjoy the experience. I also liked having an online drawing experience. I have never done that and it opened a whole new facet of creating to me.

So much fun!

The 26-weeks-of-inspiration course was so much fun. Each unit brought me new enjoyment, and I learned so much. I tried many many types of painting and artwork, so many I would not have thought to do on my own. I recommend this course to anyone who is stuck in a rut with one type of medium, or who is timid and afraid to get started in the world of making art.

Art on!

This class has been a great experience. I have gotten to play with different styles, and moving outside my comfort zones. The class allows for setting your own pace which worked wonderfully for my job and other commitments. I have also gained new insight for the constructive comments from Sandrine.
I look forward to finishing the assignments and maybe another class from Sandrine.
Art on!
