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.
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 ! Artem
Artem is an EXCELLENT instructor! I went with my 12 yo son and we both enjoyed the unique experience of painting on the Seine. Artem carefully explained each step and was very patient. Everyone came out with a beautiful piece! Wonderful!!!
Thank you so much, Courtney! It was a pleasure painting with you and your son. I'm delighted that you both enjoyed the experience and created beautiful memories together in Paris. Wishing you safe travels and many more creative adventures ahead!
What a wonderful experience on the Siene, with Artem your instructor, and create a memory that you can hang on the wall. Artem provides everything you'll need with quality brushes, paints, and paper. He also provides the guidance to take what you see and put it on paper. More important, Artem's easy going nature is encouraging, not intimidating.
Thank you so much, Paul, for your kind review! It was a real pleasure painting with you by the Seine and talking about watercolor. I'm especially happy that you enjoyed creating your own Paris souvenir to take home. I hope to welcome you back to Paris for another painting session in the future 😊 Warm regards, Artem
A fantastic way to spend the afternoon enjoying a beautiful setting and learning about watercolor painting. We went with our daughter who really enjoys art. Artem made us feel at home and set the tone for a fantastic experience. So glad the canvas was pre-sketched with the Petite Palace facade so we could jump right into painting. I have not painted since middle school. Shocking how good our paintings turned out!
Thank you, Robert! It was a pleasure painting with you and your family. I'm so glad you enjoyed this slower side of Paris and that you were happy with your paintings. Wishing you many more creative adventures together!
Had a wonderful afternoon in the park water coloring the petit palais. Artem was patient and wonderful guiding me through the process and now I have a wonderful souvenir that I will be proud to hang in my home. I cannot recommend this unique experience enough!
Thank you so much, Victoria! 😊 It was a real pleasure painting together in Petit Palais garden, and I’m very happy to know that your watercolor will travel home with you as a special Paris memory. Thank you again for your kind words and for being part of the experience!
This was my 1000% favorite thing I did in Paris. Our teacher, Antom (spelling?! Not sure!) was super professional and just a delight to learn with. He was well prepared, made sure we each had what we needed, and really took his time to help us gain new watercolor skills. He had an architecture background, and his love of using color and the watercolor medium was easily contagious. We were all beginners, and he made sure we all felt great about our work and the process itself. Could not recommend higher! I’m pretty sure every trip I now take I will have to include some kind of art class. I now have the best souvenir I could ever have!:)
Thank you so much, Amy! Your words truly mean a lot to me. It was a real pleasure painting with you, and I’m so happy the workshop became such a special memory from your Paris trip. Wishing you many more creative journeys ahead 😊
One of the most unique and wonderful experiences I’ve had in Paris! I’ve lived in Paris for 2.5 years, so I’ve done a lot in the city, but nothing like Artem’s class. Painting out in the city, capturing a beautiful moment in time, and having a piece of Paris to hang up at home. Artem makes sure that no matter what artistic experience you have, that you feel comfortable and leave with a gorgeous painting. He’s very patient and a pleasure to learn from. Can’t recommend this experience enough whether you live in Paris or are just visiting!
Thank you so much, Bri ✨ Your words truly mean a lot to me, especially coming from someone who already knows Paris so well 😊 I’m really happy this moment by the Seine became such a special memory for you — and that you now have your own little piece of Paris to take home 🎨 It was such a pleasure meeting you both. Thank you again for your kindness and support 🤍
Very well done. Very well set up. Excellent materials. The teacher was very knowledgeable and gave me several excellent tips to improve my technique. The teacher, the duration of the class and the quality of supplies were well worth the cost of the class.
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 I’m very happy you enjoyed the experience, the materials, and the atmosphere of the session by the Seine. Wishing you many beautiful memories from Paris and happy painting ✨
Painting with Artem was so amazing! I was a bit intimidated thinking about the class but Artem was great, so patient, so informative, so professional and so friendly. He explained every step. We came home with a very pretty painting of the Musee d’Orsay!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words 😊 It was truly a pleasure painting with you and Lauren by the Seine. I’m very happy that you felt comfortable during the session and that you went home with your own Musée d’Orsay watercolor ✨ Wishing you both many wonderful memories from Paris, and I hope to see you again someday! — Artem
Thins was an iconic experience . I found this on trip advisor and took a chance and booked .. Artem, was the instructor and there were a total of 4 participants , supples , easels , location all set up and ready to go, by the Seine .. he not only helped us techniques on a basic sketch he provided — but encouraged our artistic eye and emotions —- at the end he said “we are all Paris artists now!” … he genuinely enjoyed our water colors and very encouraging … an unbelievable experience !
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy you took that chance — it was a pleasure painting together 😊 And yes… we are all Paris artists now! 🎨 Hope to see you again!
