Painting in the Charente Maritime

A new approach to painting holidays … flexibility
We are now in France instead of me coming to you perhaps you would like to experience painting in the diverse region of the Charente Maritime. We have both a wonderful climate and incredible scenery from the Atlantic Coast to rolling hills, vineyards and sunflowers. We are 15 minutes from Saintes and a little longer from Cognac, 40 minutes from the coast, 900 metres from the Charente and surrounded by farmland and vineyards and lots of quirky corners. The village is very quiet so you can paint to your hearts content. For those who enjoy painting buildings, Chaniers (4 km) has some superb interesting architecture too.
What makes my courses different?
Rather than prescriptive courses and dates, you can book from just one day or as many days tuition as you would like. Why not incorporate a few days painting whilst visiting the region
Course participants: minimum 2 - maximum 5 … this allows plenty of individual tuition
What this means for you
You have the opportunity of working and studying with an experienced, qualified practicing artist to help you achieve your aims in painting and art
Up to 6 hours personal and group tuition each day
Demonstrations and handouts, a small supply of studio materials eg soft pastel, acrylic, water soluble oils, watercolours, charcoal etc available for your use.
Light lunch, morning coffee and afternoon tea provided
Use of studio facilities, including easels, boards, and sundries from 09.00 - 21.00 hours
Resources for Still Life, also photographs, book, DVD and video references
Many locations for pleine aire painting, village, river, coast
