So far this week has been a much needed renewed view of Paris. Last week after rushing around spending most of the week visiting museums and historic sites, I somehow felt that I was missing a bit about what everyone most loves about Paris...the shops, the beautiful architecture, cafes, the history. This week I began my painting and drawing course.
My class with the Atelier Alupi has provided me with a brand new set of eyes on the city. We have spent time drawing and painting several well known and hidden gems in throughout the city including; the Cluny Museum, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Luxemborg Gardens, as well as local markets and gardens. An added perspective to the class is that the course is full of people form all of the world! Talk about seeing everything through new eyes. My classmates include adults from Argentina, England, Australia, and Italy(just to name a few). I have also had the chance to collaborate with a classmate of mine and friend from her hostel for impromptu drawing in the evenings at the Sacre Coeur, which has been excellent practice and such a great time! Just a quick update...More photos coming soon:)
