This Travel Sketchbook art class is perfect if you begin, or if you would like to improve on composition, perspective, figure drawing techniques. The plein air art class in Paris is complementary to the studio sessions (Watercolor Sketching Classes take place at the Studio on Tuesdays, 2:30PM-4:30PM).
This Travel Sketchbook art class is in a group of 3 to 6 persons. It is taught in French and English, and takes place in a different Paris neighborhood each week.
It is possible to join just one class, or several times.
Upon booking, you will receive a booking confirmation. A few days before the workshop, you will receive an email with the meeting point. Make sure to note Pauline’s phone number, in case you were running late.
The meeting point is at 9:30AM at a cafe. We start drawing at the cafe, then leave to draw around the neighborhood (and/or at a cafe in case of cold weather!).
Plan a cafe budget, and the cost of museum tickets, in case of indoor drawing sessions.
The supplies you will need for your plein air art class in Paris are the following:

- Optional: nib holder, nib and India ink; felt pens; color pencils; glue stick.
