点评:I am so grateful that I found Catherine's illustrative journaling workshops during my year abroad in Aix-en-Provence. I really enjoyed getting to know Catherine while exploring Aix and its surrounding areas during our Tuesday classes. Catherine always made me feel welcome and that I am a capable artist. We worked together for 10 months and she was really able to help me improve my artistic style during private instruction and small group workshop settings.
I hadn't taken an art class for over 20 years and really didn't know what to expect from the first class. Catherine teaches her students how to choose their subject, how to layout the design on paper and how to capture the feeling of the moment. It was a wonderful way to spend 2 and half hours each week and I have a very special travel journal that will instantly bring me back to our Tuesday afternoons together. One of my goals during my year abroad was to focus on being present and Catherine's style of illustrative journaling forces everyone to be in the moment and can lead to a meditative practice.
I would recommend a private class or a workshop to experienced illustrators and painters along with people totally new to creating art. Catherine was kind enough to lead a workshop at my home for a group of friends that each had different levels of artistic experience. She put everyone at ease and encouraged each person with their particular style. Catherine helps those around her appreciate the experience of making art and feel proud of their final composition.
There is something about Catherine where she attracts kind-hearted, welcoming and fun people. Each class was a very joyful experience.
翻译:我很感激在我在普罗旺斯地区艾克斯留学期间找到了凯瑟琳的插画日记工作坊。在周二的课程中,我非常享受在探索艾克斯及其周边地区时结识凯瑟琳的过程。凯瑟琳总是让我感到宾至如归,让我知道我是一个有能力的艺术家。我们一起工作了 10 个月,在私人指导和小组工作坊环境中,她真的能够帮助我提高我的艺术风格。
我已经 20 多年没有上过艺术课了,真的不知道第一堂课会有什么收获。凯瑟琳教她的学生如何选择他们的主题,如何在纸上布局设计以及如何捕捉当下的感觉。这是一种每周度过 2 个半小时的绝妙方式,我有一本非常特别的旅行日记,它会立即让我回想起我们一起度过的周二下午。我在国外的一年中的目标之一是专注于当下,凯瑟琳的插画日记风格迫使每个人都活在当下,并可以引导冥想练习。
我会向经验丰富的插画家和画家以及完全不熟悉艺术创作的人推荐私人课程或研讨会。凯瑟琳很好心地在我家为一群艺术经验水平不同的朋友举办了一场研讨会。她让每个人都感到轻松自在,并鼓励每个人发挥自己的独特风格。凯瑟琳帮助她周围的人欣赏艺术创作的体验,并为他们的最终作品感到自豪。
凯瑟琳身上有一种吸引善良、热情和有趣的人的特质。每节课都是一次非常愉快的经历。
