Hi, I'm Valérie!

I am a multidisciplinary artist and educator from Ottawa, Canada. More recently, the Covid-19 pandemic made me reconnect with my passion for birding, nature, drawing and painting.

In this step-by-step class, you will learn to paint a bird with gouache. You will transfer a sketch onto mix-media paper, prepare a color palette, make textures and feathers with gouache. Also, you will learn more about artists through history who made birds their main subject. You can either choose the bird of your liking or paint a Black-capped Chickadee (available in the Resources tab). This class is aimed at beginner to intermediate students looking to develop an ease with gouache. If you love painting and nature, this class is for you! Like if you were birdwatching, this class provides you with a chance to connect with nature and to develop your sense of observation.
