Join painter Patricia Lortie at the Alliance Française for a spring-inspired painting workshop in French, focused on capturing the beauty of seasonal flowers.

For this session, Patricia will bring a selection of fresh flowers that will serve as your live models. Step by step, she will guide you through the process of observing their shapes, colors, and details, and translating them into your own painted composition. You’ll be encouraged to play with scale, color, and interpretation to create a unique and vibrant spring scene.

This workshop is designed to be intuitive and accessible, inviting you to slow down, observe closely, and express your creativity in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

The workshop will last 1 hour and 30 minutes. Materials will be provided by the instructor, but you are welcome to bring your own painting supplies. Enjoy a glass of wine (for adults) while letting your creativity bloom! 🌸
