Autumn is the most beautiful season in Montréal, when the city is filled with brilliant reds, golds, and warm light. It is the perfect time to combine artistic inspiration with an unforgettable visit to Québec.
This workshop is held entirely in our professional studio, providing the ideal environment for focused learning. Through demonstrations, practical exercises, and individual guidance, you will develop a freer, more expressive approach to watercolor while exploring composition, color, atmosphere, and artistic interpretation.
Leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and unforgettable memories of Montréal at its most beautiful.
A week that will change the way you see watercolor.

From the Artist:
An artist is not merely someone who creates works of art. That is simply a consequence. First and foremost, I am an explorer. My mission is to discover the world, to look for beauty around me, and to try to comprehend and truly see what surrounds me. Only then will I have something to share with you, to tell you about my impressions of this universe.
This is an endless process, but it leads to the creation of many unexpected artworks and projects. It is a privilege to be able to do what I love and to share my impressions and feelings with you.
