I absolutely LOVED this...

I absolutely LOVED this workshop! The instructor Evelyne was so lovely, knowledgeable about both Paris and drawing techniques, and incredibly attentive and accommodating. I learned so much about the city and art while improving my sketching skills. This was truly a highlight of my trip - thank you for an incredible, unforgettable experience!

Unique Paris experience Sketching

This was an enjoyable experience. The instructor was patient, encouraging and very knowledgeable as she taught us how to see and accurately draw the Invalides Dome. It could have been intimidating drawing inside the Petit Palais but she was full of advice and support and never made us feel intimidated by the subject or surroundings. I learned about a new medium (sanguine) that I will certainly take back and try again. Tried another new technique with the water color pencils and I must say I am eager to do it again. Our instructor had tons of local history as well and this was well worth every minute.
