WELCOME
Welcome!
French-Canadian Master Painter, Marcel Desbiens, will take you on a great adventure learning the traditional techniques of oil painting.
Marcel offers genuine and authentic high level instruction, for both the fun-loving and the very dedicated art minded. All programs are designed to give a strong foundation of artistic ability, to prepare for a professional career or a lifetime of enjoyment as a skilled amateur.
The goal of learning to paint can be attained by anyone who is willing to pursue it. It is as accessible as learning to write. If you can draw a stick figure, than you can learn how to paint.
Not everyone, however, has the desire and discipline to learn drawing and painting skills. And everyone who does, wants learn this wonderful form of expression for a different reason. Any student, the very disciplined and the undecided, have the right to ask for the best training available.
These days artists that are just starting out are told that it is the tools themselves that inhibit their uniqueness or self-expression. I believe that they actually enable them to fully express their visions without being hampered by a lack of education. Traditional skills are necessary for developing a foundational base from which the artist can work. It is craftsmanship that is the foundation of self-expression, not the lack of it. Conversely, being creative without knowledge is like re-inventing the wheel.
The joy of enquiring knowledge about the solid grounding in the basics of laws in art and to practice them is as beautiful as the works created through this knowledge. And although it may sound very serious, it should be just lots of fun.
Thanks for coming and enjoy your visit!
Last year, l have been working on an exciting commission for the Robina Hospital at the Gold Coast. The 2 large oil paintings, 3.5m x 3.5m and 3.5m x 6 m are now completed and can be viewed at the Hospital. Everyone welcome to visit.
