I was nervous about doing this. But I went and I did it. All went well. The longer I posed nude the more comfortable I became. The artist was great! The picture was amazing. Doing this in Toulouse, France is very special.

The experience of being drawn by Olivier was a special part of my holiday in Europe. I’d never done anything like this before and was a bit nervous, but he put me at ease and I felt safe. We discussed options for paper and colours then tried out some poses. He took photos with my camera to show me what the poses looked like before proceeding with the drawing. I’m very happy with the result and can recommend this unique experience to other travellers. Merci Olivier!

A truly transformative experience to see my own self, not just the physical, coming alive on an easel. Amazing conversations. I only wish I can do more.

I have to say, I was nervous before entering the studio - but I instantly felt at ease. We discussed potential poses, and how the session was going to run (2 20 min posing sessions, for one drawing). I was shown an array of inspirations for poses, and I was encouraged to not copy but to find a pose that is comfortable for me. I was able to choose the colour that the drawing was in (options were black, brown, blue, red, pink I think) and the type of paper (A3 white paper or slightly larger cream paper). I felt incredibly comfortable at all times, and Olivier was incredibly respectful. Olivier is an incredibly talented artist - even though my face is not in my drawing, my body was recognisable in its curves and dimensions. If you have ever considered being life drawn, I would 10/10 recommend and would recommend Olivier for your first time (as mine was).

Such a cool experience! I went with my husband but Olivier was so lovely and professional, I would have been happy to be there on my own. The whole process is very relaxed. We spent some time talking about what I wanted, what colour pencil might work for where we were playing to hang the drawing and then I posed. I was so relaxed I fell asleep by the end! The result was a beautiful drawing which I will treasure for ever. Highly recommend!

This was the absolute highlight of our whole 2 weeks in Toulouse!!! My partner and I went together, neither of us had been drawn before, we were very open to and excited about it but weren’t really sure what to expect. Olivier was extremely kind and professional, he did a great job of explaining the process, showing us examples of paper and color options, his English was great, he helped us find a pose we liked and were comfortable with, and his work is stunning! It’s now the favorite souvenir we’ve ever gotten and we can’t wait to frame it when we get home! I could not more highly recommend treating yourself to this experience!

Olivier is a talented artist who is very welcoming and professional. I felt safe and comfortable as soon as I stepped into his charming studio. I had never posed before, I had a great time, great conversation, and left very happy with a beautiful drawing!

I though this would be uncomfortable, challenging and difficult for me to do. But Olivier made me feel at ease and made it simple
We changed poses until I was happy. I enjoyed the whole experience and am very pleased with the piece of Art Olivier has created for me. Thank Olivier.

The activity was strictly professional but very warm. Oliver is a great painter and it will be a great piece of art for you if you decide to go. I went with my spouse and I don’t regret it. I love my picture
