Geometric Drawing Courses

ONLINE

Geometric drawing is a technique that involves using only a compass and ruler to create ornamental patterns (roses, tiling, etc.) in various styles.

Basic Materials

Unless otherwise specified, I draw in A3 format.*

A compass with an opening of about 18 cm
A 30 cm ruler
Smooth, slightly thick A3 paper (120 or 250 gsm), such as PaintOn by Clairefontaine, or alternatively standard white paper
Pencil or mechanical pencil / eraser, sharpener...
A few coloured pencils
Optional : fine coloured pens (like fine liners) optional

*If a larger drawing format (A2) is specified, an extension for the compass and a 40 or 50 cm ruler will be required.

About Online Courses

Access to the courses is done by logging into your member area on this site (created during your first purchase), using the email address used when creating the account.
The course videos will remain accessible for several years, and an email notification will be sent prior to any potential removal.
Most courses come with a PDF showing the main steps of the drawing process.
You can contact me if you have any questions or difficulties.

Where to start?

All courses are independent, so you can start wherever you like. However, if you are unsure, here is the order I recommend.

To get a good overview of the different aspects of Gothic geometry, start with:

Introduction to Gothic Geometry (€25)

or with the pack that includes all the introductory courses.

To continue with simple motifs but more in-depth content, explore the other introductory courses (which are also included in this pack).

If you want to move directly to large Gothic Rose Windows (either straight away or after one of the introductions), start with the Summer Rose (Mende), or with the Rose of Saint Paul in the Roses from Lyon series (several packs are available for this series).

If you are looking straight away for roses in their more complex versions (with several levels of thickness in the tracery), go to the Advanced category and explore the Lyon Roses (Advanced). Some experience in geometry and a good level of precision will be required to start there.

Enjoy!

Upcoming Live Sessions

Courses are recorded so you can follow at your own pace, no obligation to attend the Live sessions.

Some courses may be a collaboration with other platforms, registration will then happen on their website (check their conditions to see how long recordings are available).
