Using pigments and gum Arabic, make your own watercolours before using them to take in the landscape around you.
From the museum’s esplanade, the view of Bar-le-Duc and its rich architecture will be a source of inspiration for these watercolours made with natural materials and recovery.
A children’s workshop is also available, from 2pm to 3.30pm.
