My One-on-One
Just-for-me Private Workshop.
Imagine painting in private with Mirai: she will be able to focus exclusively on you.
Private workshops include an additionnal fee but the programme described below is the same as the one for groups.
You can also book for half a day or the whole day or up to 5 days...
The half day workshop (3 hours) has been put together with travelers and visitors to Giverny in mind.
The classes are designed to be taken in chronological order; they are 3 hours in length with a mid-break and some light refreshments.

With a focus on shapes and structure, you will go back to the fundamentals by utilizing watercolour, Chinese brushes, and Indian ink to explore basic painting skills and methods.

You will take your newly found skills and, under the guidance of Mirai, you will practice and learn to observe and paint in a new way. Get creative and start looking for that all important personal style of your own.
3-day Painting workshop
Building on your newly acquired observational and practical skills, you will now be starting to understand and develop the skills and techniques associated with painting in the Chinese style with brushes and watercolor, giving you the ability to translate them into beautiful paintings.

On the final days, you will combine all the techniques you have learned throughout the week to create a painting to honor the artwork you have produced.
Emphasis will be placed on mounting and gluing your rice paper painting to backing paper in the traditional Chinese manner, which will give your painting stability, durability.
Some more practicing before discovering your dry pieces of art on rice paper ready to frame.
Share with your classmates an aperitif, French bread, and cheese.
