Come join me, Laure Ferlita, for another
“Imaginary Trip to Paris!”
This is to be the third year of heading off to Paris for five glorious weeks! All new assignments will be in the offering with a continued focus on taking the road less traveled. We will explore Paris, capturing an enchanted view in our sketchbooks as we learn a little about the City of Light.
We’ll also “create” our own story to go along with the sketches as we linger over breakfast in out-of-the-way cafes, visit beautiful parks, enjoy a café au lait in the late afternoon as we watch the golden red leaves drift to the sidewalk, glance into quiet courtyards, and observe the beauty that the French infuse into the simplest and most mundane structures of everyday life.
We’ll learn to use all of our senses rather than just our eyes. Our stories will be full of those special details that will help this be the vacation to remember long after it’s over! On this fun-filled imaginary holiday, you’ll learn how to:
-
•simplify complex scenes
-
•eliminate unnecessary details
• capture the essence of a scene in a limited amount of time
-
•test art supplies to find out what works best for you on location
-
•and best of all, you’ll “come home” with an extraordinary sketchbook full of all the wonderful places we will visit!
