Painting Watercolour Classes in the Chinese-style 

are given by artist Mirai, both in French and English at her artist studio in Vernon-Giverny

Let's paint together in my art studio, right next to Giverny where I grew up! I have always loved Chinese watercolor painting on rice paper and I enjoy sharing this style of painting with others. Using Chinese brushes, I’ll guide you step by step to harness their power. You will create a unique painting to take home with you. All you need is curiosity! 

I’ll also have you taste local biscuits and drinks from Normandy to enhance your experience. Come and share some of the things that inspired the famous French painter Claude Monet, in a most relaxing setting. 

My little family house now my studio in Normandy is situated next to the Seine River, a pasture with Norman cows and the road to the village of Giverny. There is a trail leading to Giverny behind the studio, right at the foot of a beautiful green hill.

Pick-up can be arranged from or to Giverny or Vernon train station. You can also park right in front of my studio! 


For around 30 years, Mirai has specialised in Chinese style watercolour, teaching, arranged exhibitions and shows in France: La Sorbonne, Le Printemps Haussmann in Paris, Auvers sur Oise, Vernon-Giverny, Macao, Berlin, Hamburg Germany, Florence Italy, New York, L.A.
