Create your own Paris
When you are visiting a foreign country, you want to bring souvenirs to your loved-ones. How about you make your own gift?
Take a painting lesson with Edwige Mitterrand Delahaye in her studio/apartment of the 16th arrondissement, west of Paris, or in sculptor Jean-Léon Gérôme’s former hotel particulier in the Pigalle area.
A 3-hour painting class to make you an artist! Edwige will help you create your own painting: Paris view, portrait, landscape… Paint whatever you feel like painting. As for the technique: oil painting, acrylic painting or watercolor, it’s up to you! Whatever your level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), Edwige will give you precious advice while letting your creativity run free.
During the class, you can talk about the French culture and taste some pastries and viennoiseries available for you. Let’s paint!
Put on your apron
