Overview
Orsay is the museum the French love to visit. No wonder, because about 70 percent of the art on display is from France. As a professional guide my mission is to offer people insights into how to look at art and to learn how to appreciate it. As an artist, I know the craft of making art, how to draw & paint. With this knowledge and background I can bring an artwork to life, expand on its historical context, explain its uniqueness. With me you will learn how to appreciate the style & techniques of an artist. Talking about art with humour and insight is what you get. I think I know how to transmit this passion for art to other people.

What To Expect
Everyone is an artist! Yes, a drawing workshop inside the Orsay for all ages not just children! During the first hour I will walk you through the collection. Learning about the diverse techniques of masters, listening & looking. The second part of our time together is when you take over and start to respond to the artworks. The drawing workshop begins. I will take you to the less crowded galleries where we can find the early paintings of Monet, Cézanne and also major works by Manet, Courbet, Carpeaux and the sculpture gallery. Here we will have the space to do some drawing exercises. Skill and expertise in drawing is not necessary, no value judgement is required, our goal is the fun of the adventure. I am there to encourage a sense of observation & curiosity and to explore individual expression with drawing. A drawing board, paper, HB pencils & coloured pencils will be provided. A Museum Ticket is included in the price. I’m an Irish artist & specialist decorator. I’m also now, for the past 10 years, a Paris Museum Guide.
