An Artist identity- Coming soon-
When making Art, you are sharing a part of yourselves, creating a mirror image of your identity that will then be transposed to the person you share your Art with.
Learning how to express this image is a complicated exercise, as well as learning to decode it as a receiver.
In this class, we will study different approaches to translate your ideas, personality, and thoughts into an image and learn to sensibilise yourself to the visual vocabulary that will help you solve the message created by other artists.

Draw with Rémy was created to share Remy's passion for art. Rémy has worked as an art teacher for Gabriel's Art Kids, the WCC's Community & Continuing Education, and private students. He worked as an illustrator for businesses, non-profit, filmmaker, author, musician, magazine, and small business for more than 10years. (Link to Rémy's Portfolio)
After teaching to all ages for many years, Gabriel And Rémy join forces to create a platform that is accessible and offers a variety of classes to help you learn, create and share.
We believe that teaching art is more than just showing the students how to draw a pleasant picture to look at, Art is a language that can facilitate expression and communication, It is a tool that can bring new concept and understanding of ourselves by sharing complex ideas and emotions.
This is why Rémy decided to focus our classes and mentorship in those tree focus point.
Accessibility
Sharing art can sometimes feel intimating.
This is why I am engaging myself to bring approachable knowledge for all by keeping the class capacity low, considering every student as a unique person, and giving you personal, fun, and accessible classes.
As a teacher, I am here to help you find your voice and your own identity by guiding and encouraging you in the art path you will choose to venture.
Education
Learning to draw is to understand the thinking process that goes with it.
There are many steps down the line, from crafting your ideas and using your imagination to creating your final product and mastering the tools you will choose.
When drawing, the majority of the work will happen in your head.
In our classes, we will break down each step of the process while learning new tools to execute them.
We will go over the fundamental of art and explore more technical concepts to give you all the tools to be the Artist you want to be.
Collaboration
Art should not stop outside the classroom; It should be continually encouraged and supported by bringing an ongoing conversation and tools to facilitate
exchange, dialogue, and personal study.
Draw with Rémy offers a platform for all the students to collaborate, share discovery, and find a safe place to improve and learn as an Artist.
You will also find an Art gallery where students can share their own Art.
From Remy' students :
“The instructor’s enthusiasm and his playful spirit about art and drawing.
This class could have more sessions! There was a lot of material to cover, and as a beginner, I wanted more time for certain drawing
techniques. When the pandemic ends, I hope Remy (sorry, I don’t have the accent mark over the “e” on this keyboard) teaches it again
in person! He’s very patient, respectful to his students and knowledgeable. I also like how he encouraged us to develop (or enhance)
our own artistic styles.”

“Teacher helped me feel comfortable sharing my artwork. Very encouraging, wonderful teacher. Would love to take another class with him- maybe water color with pen or an illustration class”

His student evaluations are consistently positive, and he is excellent at creating curriculum to fit within a specific timeframe. Evaluations have praised his enthusiasm, ability to make his course(s) interesting, and his overall teaching style is one in which students appreciate the freedom he gives them while also teaching concrete drawing skills.”
