Tuesdays are Zoom days and in these 5 workshops we’ll use different techniques with inks, pencils and watercolour to sketch some iconic images from life in France.

These online sessions are for a small group only and take place via Zoom where you can participate in ‘real time’, ask questions and get feedback. Even if you are unable to join the Zoom the video from the workshop is recorded and will be available after the event to anyone pre-registered in advance.

Each Zoom workshop lasts approximately 90 minutes-2 hours
