Join me for France for the final year at Le Vieux Couvent. We’ll visit a lavender farm, eat, paint, and shop in France in the spring because you deserve a dream come true getaway during lavender bloom! Follow your bliss and join me for 10 days at Le Vieux Couvent in the picturesque Dordogne region of Southern France. This will be the final workshop at Le Vieux Couvent, as Bill and Corinne, the owners, are retiring.
Let’s make flowers and landscapes bloom in brilliant color together in this all-inclusive getaway featuring excursions, gourmet meals, and all the peace and serenity your heart desires. We’ll tour some of the most unspoiled provincial villages in Southern France together. Plan to paint, relax, and enjoy the countryside in this workshop at your own pace and your own speed. Open for all levels of experience, and seats are filling fast. We’ll paint in a beautiful blue-shuttered classroom overlooking the rolling hills of the French village. Demos will be completed in oils, and acrylic and water based oil painters are also welcome. I’ll be providing some fun extra supplies and projects to give you multiple mediums to explore and enjoy. I have some wonderful surprises to help your painting experience be one you’ll never forget. Please note – airfare is not included in this price.
