The Painting Course
http://www.artists-atelier.com/painting-courses/
The course welcomes all ages, all levels and all abilities. This course is appropriate for beginners as well as advanced.
It combines real painting with real learning in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, which sometimes reverberates with laughter. Going on a group activity holiday means that you are going to meet other people. People come from all over, bringing their desire to paint & to learn. This provides a golden opportunity of the sharing of a passion for painting.
The painting course gives you the chance to paint‘en plein air’ outside on location in the warm southern September light. You will also learn painting techniques. There’s also a studio for flowers, still lives (endless things to paint from the markets & kitchen), portraits, etc. This painting retreat will give you lots of uninterrupted time to paint, so you can really get into a creative flow.

Painting furniture provided so you can travel lite : easels, tables, stools, boards, solvents, sun umbrellas, etc. Trouble-Free Travel for Alkyds, Oils & Acrylics : We offer the possibility of renting a complete set of paints : alkyds or oils or acrylics. So you can fly light with no luggage worries. Just bring your own brushes & canvas boards.

Includes two trips out : a whole day of painting a historic chateau as well as sketching in a colourful local market.
