Painting Steps to holiday Success Day by Day (5 Day painting programme Monday - Friday)

Day 1 - Materials, and Techniques

Day One is spent at the farmhouse, and provides an introduction to materials and techniques. The painting is loose, and there are plenty of interesting views to work at around the garden and the village.

Montgey

Typical day on your painting holiday

A normal painting day is spent in one of the many medieval villages, lakes, Canal cu Midi or in the beautiful Lauragais countryside. Lunch can be a simple sandwich from a Boulangerie or a "plat du jour" from a local cafe.

Painting is loose, drawing is minimal, and we will use all our colours to create broad wet on wet washes.

If there any local events, like ,markets, or outdoor concerts, these will be included in the day and the times for tuition adjusted accordingly.
