Wanderlust Art & Travel - Paris

Walk the same cobblestone streets the Masters walked. Discover an art studio from the 1800s, where greats like Renoir, Monet, Degas and Suzanne Valadon lived and painted. We’ll learn the history where the Impressionist Movement was inspired, and what motivated these artists to create the masterpieces of their time. How they used collectives to inspire and learn from one another. These are just a few of the items you’ll be inspired by as we take A Trip Through Montmartre.

After this amazing travel experience, we’ll head back to the studio and pull influences from our adventure. I’ll take you through a brief journaling exercise to help brainstorm and unpack all the inspiration we gained, then we’ll head over to the easel. I’ll lead you step by step into putting your composition together, and creating an inspired acrylic painting.

Oh, but there’s more! You’ll also get to go on a second virtual trip and discover even more influences in Paris. This time we discover a famous artist that once owned a popular cafe that is over one hundred years old. After, we head to the studio and I’ll show you how to pull from your inspirations and create another cool masterpiece using charcoals and pastels.

Course Wrap Up

This was an amazing adventure. We walked the streets of the arts district in Montmartre, learned about the Impressionist Movement, walked into an artist studio from the 1800s and got a sneak peak into the life of Suzanne Valadon. After this amazing experience, we broke it all down, pulled inspiration from Suzanne Valadon’s painting “A View From My Window.
Then we went back to the studio broke down her painting into parts. You learned how to do an underpainting Impressionist style, all the way to adding finishing touches. Everything was broken down into easy segments letting you gain confidence and watch your piece evolve into a beautiful painting.
You learned many techniques that you can implement in other works of art such as underpainting, blocking in the subject, colors, developing shapes, focal point, drawing houses, values, compositions, details and emotional depth. This was a fun filled course.
