A Unique Artistic Experience in Toulouse
Step out of time and see yourself through the eyes of an artist.
Take off the mask
Experience something truly different in the heart of the Toulouse. Being drawn is a moment for yourself that requires no prior experience.
It is an opportunity to gain a new perspective, move beyond self-image, or simply enjoy a unique artistic encounter in a respectful and caring environment.
A Private Art Workshop Experience
Located at 5 rue du Coq d'Inde, my studio offers an intimate and timeless atmosphere for a private drawing session. For your comfort and privacy, the space includes a dedicated changing room and professional drapes.
While this is not a traditional art workshop where you learn to draw, it is a fascinating way to observe an artist's professional process from within his own sanctuary.
How it works
The session lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes. We begin by discussing your expectations to ensure you feel at ease. You then choose a pose based on your comfort level. The artwork is created in two 20-minute sequences with a break in between, allowing for a meditative and relaxing pace.
A Timeless Souvenir
At the end of the session, you leave with your original artwork—a deep, personal souvenir of your time in Toulouse. Sessions are available for individuals (65€) or couples (95€).
I speak English fluently and I provide a tube to ensure your drawing is carefully protected for your travel home. Optionally, I can ship the drawing.
About me

Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose the pose? Do I need experience to pose?
Most people who pose are doing it for the first time. You just need to be comfortable with the idea, and everything happens quite naturally. We will discuss your expectations, and the model chooses the pose. I will guide you if needed.
How to choose between a portrait, draped, or life drawing session?
Everyone poses exactly as they wish. I will show you drawing examples to give you an idea of the final result and help you decide.
Can we be drawn as a couple?
Yes, I draw couples! These sessions last 3x20 minutes. For a couple's session, please select a "duo" ticket on my website or contact me directly.
What paper size and colors are available?
I draw on 50x65 cm or 40x60 cm formats (and smaller). I can work in black, brown, blue, or any other color available in the studio.
