5.00I had a wonderful experience learning watercolor techniques, The artist was patient, talented and an excellent teacher. There were 4 total in the class and we each received individual attention. As a beginner painter, it was a great experience…no pressure and lots of fun. The fee was reasonable. We were lent everything including paints and easels and even given a frame for our finished masterpiece. You just arrive and have a great time.

5.00This was a wonderful experience for our family of four on our trip to Paris! Artem was so thoughtful in how he crafted the workshop and all of us learned a lot about the art of watercolor. An absolute highlight of our trip, our middle school aged kids loved it and we returned home with framed watercolor paintings of the Musee d’Orsay!

5.00I really recommend this experience. It was lots of fun. I learned a lot and as well it’s a way to discover Paris in a different way, just to take the time to admire the beauty of the city and to learn watercolour.
