Paint your own watercolor in one of the city's beautiful outdoor locations and take home a framed artwork you'll proudly hang on your wall. No experience is needed—I'll guide you step by step from the very first brushstroke.
It’s a relaxed and welcoming experience, perfect for individuals, couples, and families — kids are very welcome, and no prior painting experience is needed. Everyone can enjoy the process at their own pace.

A new way to experience Paris
An excellent introduction to watercolor painting and great for those who may have more experience in watercolors or other mediums. Artem was a thoughtful, patient and skilled instructor. He was delightful to work with and gave us good directions. Though I’m skilled at oil painting, my watercolor experience is more limited. I found myself learning new ways to paint. My daughter was new to watercolor and was able to participate easily and successfully. Definitely worthwhile.
Operator response
Thank you so much, Judy!
It was a real pleasure painting with you and your daughter. I’m especially happy that you both enjoyed the experience in your own way and discovered something new with watercolor!

100% recommend!
Magnifique! This was such an incredible experience. My 10-year-old daughter wants to be an artist when she grows up, and she loved this activity. Artem was wonderfully kind l, encouraging and patient, explaining everything thoroughly. We went home with a framed, original art piece that we have hanging at home. I would recommend this to people of all ages!

Wonderful Experience -Highlight of our trip!
We highly recommend this experience with Artem! He created a welcoming and comfortable environment for our entire family while teaching us the art of watercolor painting. As we worked, he shared insights about our beautiful Parisian surroundings and showed us how to capture them on paper.
Artem thoughtfully adapted his instruction to each person’s skill level and style, ensuring that every one of us left with a beautiful painting that reflected both the charm of Paris and our own personal creativity. It was a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our trip.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind words!

In the shoes of an artist by the Seine
This watercolor workshop by the Seine on a sunny Wednesday morning with Artem was truly great!
There were only three of us, and the conditions were ideal.
I had very little experience, but that did not prevent me from being fully satisfied with the finished canvas thanks to Artem's valuable advice and patience.
Whether you have a budding artist's soul or not, do not hesitate to sign up to experience something unique.
Operator response
Merci beaucoup, Flore, pour ce très beau retour 😊
J’ai été ravi de partager cette matinée au bord de la Seine avec toi, et je suis très heureux que l’expérience ainsi que ton aquarelle t’aient plu.
Merci encore pour ta confiance et pour ces mots qui parleront aussi, je l’espère, à de futurs participants !
