Drawing/painting classes (in English) in Paris this summer?

I'm going to be in Paris this summer for several weeks, roughly June through August, and I thought how fabulous it would be to take some drawing or painting classes while I'm there. I think I would prefer drawing. I found this site and was quite interested,

www.atelieralupi.com/atelier_horaires-en.htm

but I'm not sure my dates will correspond with their schedule. It doesn't help that my dates are still not determined quite yet.

Does anyone know of other drawing classes in English that I might look into? I'm going to be struggling enough all the time to communicate in French - I know next to nothing at this point - so I wanted to have some creative outlet that was also a linguistic and cognitive respite.

I welcome your suggestions. Thank you so very much.

Has anyone come across any art classes (in English) in Paris since my initial posting? It could be a local artist or an American making some extra money during his/her stay. I know this is a little out of the ordinary. I really appreciate your consideration of this.

Check Artist's Magazine & American Artist. Every Spring (late winter) they have issues that list workshops all over the world. Many American artists lead workshops in France (also many other countries) during the summer. It is really popular, so I know you will find one.

Just did a search for painting workshops in France because I figured it would turn up more than just drawing. I assume you have tried that, but if not, there were tons in English.
