About the Event Art is a universal language, and what better way to immerse yourself in this language than by painting and drawing directly from nature? We invite you to join our one-day workshop in the stunning Les Glycines garden in Nesles la Vallée, guided by the talented artist Sam Rachamin. During this workshop, you'll learn the premier coup/alla prima technique, a method that emphasizes painting in a single session to capture the essence of the subject swiftly and effectively.
This workshop is designed to balance rigorous artistic training with a delightful day out in a picturesque setting. Nesles la Vallée has inspired many famous artists such as Pissarro, Van Gogh, and Monet, and now it's your turn to find inspiration in this beautiful location. Whether you're a beginner, an amateur, or a professional, this workshop is tailored to all skill levels and will be conducted in both English and French.
