The French breakfast and a multi-course dinner menu, including wine, are included in the price. For lunch, each participant is responsible for their own meal according to their preferences.
The house has 5 bedrooms. If these are fully booked, there are a few very nice studios within walking distance (15 minutes) that I’ll book for you.
The large pool offers a chance to cool off during breaks.
sequence
We draw and paint en plein air for about 5 hours each day.
Breakfast is at 9 a.m., and classes begin at 10 a.m. The lunch break is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
During the lunch break, you can relax by the pool.
Afterward, we continue working until around 6:30 p.m. Dinner is served after we’re done working, from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Together, we visit markets and typical local spots nearby.
Since the group is limited to a maximum of 8 participants, we can provide intensive and personalized guidance. Our group discussions will inspire your own artistic work.
To wrap things up, we’ll hold a small exhibition on the terrace (with pictures hung on a clothesline).
