I have created Painting Courses in the South of France, normally running during May.

This is a stunningly beautiful part of the country, only 20 minutes to the Mediterranean and 10 to the Canal du Midi. The landscape is dotted with picturesque stone villages and there is a wonderful clear Mediterranean light that glows and creates shadows, which add to the sculptural quality of the scene.

Apart from painting outside in the warmth of the southern sunshine, I also have a large studio available for finishing off work in progress. These courses will not only be creative but also a great pleasure for those who enjoy the French experience.

The intention is that you arrive on the Monday when I will make sure you are happy and relaxed and informed about the following 5 days' work. Tuesday to Saturday inclusive we will explore, as artists, the local scenery. On Sunday morning we will have an assessment of our week's work and then go to a favourite restaurant of ours in a medieval farm in the mountains of Minerve. After this we will sadly say our goodbyes.

If interested please contact me by e-mail
or telephone 0033 (0)468 91 31 42.

We can recommend Ryanair that fly to Carcassone, Perpignan or Gerona just over the border in Spain.
Easyjet

All three are no frills cut price airlines.

If you decide to fly car hire is essential and not expensive or you could always drive or come by train. The TGV is excellent, comfortable and fast.
