Over the years when I would dream up the kind of courses I wanted to be able to offer our community, this is exactly what I was hoping for. I love an online art course that invites you to create wherever you go and to pause in your day to day life to see the beauty all around you. I am so honored to announce that award winning card designer and painter, Toni Santos, has created her first online course! Join us for Painting Paris! No previous sketching or painting experience required.
Early Registration Pricing is open for Painting Paris with Toni Santos. Early registration is $54 and will go full price ($98) at 11:59 pm January 2nd and begins on February 6th @ 5am MT. The course has 4 hours of content. Come and read all about it. All videos are downloadable, lifetime access* and closed captioned.
Walking through the streets of Paris can take you through many moods. When I wake up in Paris I start every morning walking through the streets as the shop keepers are lifting the grates from the windows, stacking the fruit, putting ice out for the fresh fish and the trucks are in the middle of the street unloading produce and fish. The cafes are still quiet but open so you can take it all in with your coffee.
I like to walk and look at how the light is different. I like to spy little courtyards and snap pictures of the storefronts open or shuttered. Everything that delights me. I will walk from the Right Bank over a bridge to the Left Bank and back again stopping only for a sandwich to eat on a bench and maybe a shop or two for provisions. When I arrive back at my atelier I pour a glass of wine and review my snapshots for the day. I may munch on some cheese or a hardboiled egg. I turn on the jazz and start sketching.
This course is about savoring your surrounding world. It is about nurturing your creativity. It is about spying beauty. No special training in drawing or painting is necessary. I will guide you through the streets of Paris with exercises that build up to a Parisienne Storefront painting. This course will prepare you for a practice of spying beauty wherever you may go. Join me in this series and discover how to capture your memories on paper.
