"In the Footsteps of French Riviera Artists "
Painting in Provence, France


September 20 - October 2, 2009

These are some of the images of France
painted in oils and watercolors.
Painters and non-painters will love this trip! All levels of painters welcome in any medium. Together, we will be touring the surrounding villages in Provence.
Join me for this wonderful experience in the famous steps of the French Impressionists.

Images of France
For the Non-Painters:
There will be lots of things for you to see and do during the day while the painters are painting. In the late afternoon prior to dinner, you are invited to join our critiques over a glass of wine. The evenings are free to stroll the beautiful village of Vence.

For the Painters:
You will have the option of painting with or without instruction and critique. You also will have the option to join the non-painters for any of the day's activities.

Some of the concepts covered include:

  • Capturing the light on location

  • Simplifying your information for stronger paintings

  • Easy perspective

  • Daily exercises for strengthening your drawing skills

  • Developing eye movement and a strong focal point

  • How to achieve color harmonies

  • Simplifying your values
