Travel Sketchbook Class in Paris – Thursday 2:00PM-5:00PM

This drawing, watercolor and travel sketching course takes place in a different neighborhood each time (locations and dates: see here below).

In a small group, it aims at developing observation skills, drawing and painting techniques, drawing speed.

It teaches you how to draw what you see, select details, compose in a fast way, in order to create travel sketchbook pages that are lively and spontaneous.
