Paris: Louvre Pyramid Sketching and Watercolor Class｜France

Meet your professional artist guide at the base of the equestrian statue of Louis XIV, located just in front of the glass pyramid entrance. Look for your instructor holding a vintage leather art portfolio.

Step away from the tourist crowds and join an exclusive, small-group sketching and watercolor pencil masterclass right in the breathtaking Cour Napoléon. Led by a professional local artist, this experience is specifically designed to transform the way you see and draw the world.

Learn the secrets of perspective from a professional artist. Your professional instructor will break down the grandeur of the Louvre into simple geometric shapes. In this architectural drawing workshop, you will learn:

The Magic of the Horizon: How to easily find your eye level and make your buildings look solid and real using simple one-point perspective.

Mastering Angles: Simple, foolproof tricks to capture the precise, slanting lines of I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid.

Light and Glass: How to use premium watercolor pencils to replicate the shifting Parisian light and reflections dancing on the water and glass.

Settle into a beautiful, inspiring spot with the perfect view of the pyramid, historic fountains, and ornate pavilions. Work with professional watercolor pencils—the ultimate tool for Paris urban sketching. They give you the absolute control of a sharp pencil, which magically softens into rich watercolor paint with just a drop of water.

Because the group size is strictly limited, your instructor will be right beside you, guiding your hand, adjusting your lines, and giving you personalized feedback. By the end of this Paris art workshop, the fear of drawing buildings will be gone. You’ll walk away not only with a gorgeous, hand-painted masterpiece of the Louvre but with the permanent skill to sketch your future travels anywhere in the world.
