Weekend Drawing on the Water - Jacques-Cartier
Treat yourself to a weekend immersed in nature to blend your love for canoe camping with art under the guidance of our wonderful guest illustrator, Florence Rivest. This weekend will include a river descent interspersed with drawing and painting workshops. What better way to spend a weekend on the water than to be inspired by the grandeur of the Jacques-Cartier cliffs! Enjoy cooking meals over a fire and sleeping under the stars in the comfort of your tent. It's an opportunity to return with eyes and sketchbook full of magnificent landscapes!
Our Guest - Florence Rivest
Illustrator and professional artist, Florence is a full-time lover of the great outdoors. Her work is inspired by the territories and natural spaces she visits to ground herself. Since 2020, she has been leading outdoor art workshops and expeditions where the undisguised goal is the pleasure of taking time.
Erre, it's the collision of two great passions: I named art and the outdoors. In the form of workshops in urban parks, nature expeditions, or even weekends in shelters, it's a beautiful pretext to stop for a moment and catch one's breath (creatively).
Because the world of the outdoors and that of art can seem inaccessible and/or reserved for a certain type of person, the goal is to bring whoever wants to come into a space where they will be encouraged to have fun, without the pressure of performance. The workshops cover different mediums and subjects, but the goal remains the same: to create in pleasure and appreciate the chance we have to live in such a beautiful territory as Quebec.
