Description

This combination of both a world class art museum and a fun-filled private hands-on workshop is the perfect introduction to Impressionist art, with a focus on Claude Monet, one of the most well-known Impressionist painters of all time.

Meet your private, experienced art teacher in front of the Orangerie museum (Musée de l’Orangerie), which belongs to the popular Musée d’Orsay, and let them take you to see Monet’s Water Lilies.

With these images still fresh in your minds, and after a 15minute drive to the atelier in a private minivan, you will arrive at the workshop.

In a cozy atmosphere, everyone will participate in the creation of a giant family Impressionist masterpiece using pastels. Each member of the family will choose a part of the painting they want to work on, and by following the instruction of your art teacher, you will end up having your own family reproduction of Monet’s Water Lilies when all these pieces are assembled.

This masterpiece is yours to keep, of course. Hang it proudly on a wall at home, and let it take you back to that amazing moment spent in Paris every time you see it…
