My name is Laetitia, I’m French, I live just outside Paris and I share with you a small slice of my daily life here in France.

🎨 CYF 102 — mercredi 1er décembre 2021 — balade dessinée, chez Ninon, avec Estelle !
Wednesday Dec 01, 2021
Wednesday Dec 01, 2021
The episode you are about to hear invites you to take a piece of paper and a pen to draw. My friend Estelle, who is a drawing teacher, is doing this exercice with her students, at the beginning of her sessions. In consist in taking a pen, closing the eyes and follow her voice to draw a portrait à l’aveugle.
Once you have started, you cannot put the pen in the air. It stays on the paper.
The result is always abstract and it is out of the « good drawing » standards. This exercice is not to look for perfection and it doesn’t require be a specialist, it only requires to allow yourself be surprised and open-minded.
It also allows you to do something different in French and to learn the vocabulary related to the face.
To record this episode, we went to Chez Ninon a nice salon de thé in Paris, rue du Cardinal Lemoine. Their patisseries mix French style and Japanese ingredients. It’s lovely!
