Painting Holidays

LEARN TO PAINT AND DRAW IN SUNNY SOUTHWEST FRANCE

Everyone can paint or draw. Even those of you who think you “can’t even draw a stick figure” will be surprised at the inherent talent that’s just waiting to show itself.
Naturally it’s easier with someone who has had some experience in “teasing out” the artistic capabilities of people who would like to try.
Anyone can learn to paint and draw, and I’d like to demonstrate this at La Petite Galerie in sunny Gascony.
We offer a six day live-in course with all meals provided.

Here’s how it works:

BIG GROUPS - SMALL GROUPS - INDIVIDUAL LESSONS – ALL ARE WELCOME

If you come on an art holiday to La Petite Galerie, we cater for artists of all levels and all ages (well, within reason - I’ve not had anyone in nappies yet!)

And we also cater for non-painting partners - there’s always plenty for them to see and do while the budding artists are toiling away in the studio or en plean air in the countryside.

LARGER GROUPS

Groups of up to 13 people stay at the nearby Mill, which is a beautifully restored 13th century building consisting of:
* 6 luxury double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms.
* There is a beautiful lounge-dining room with antique furniture and a glassed-in millrace running under it.
* The property is built from the one bank of a small river across and onto an island.
* On the island is a beautiful, large, secluded swimming pool set in a secluded park like setting.
* There is a very large fully equipped kitchen.
Families and groups of up to 3 couples stay at La Petite Galerie, and larger groups (up to 6 couples) stay at the nearby Mill, a completely refurbished 13th century water mill.

FAMILIES AND SMALLER GROUPS

Smaller groups of between 4 to 8 people (we’ve even had couples) usually stay at La Petite Galerie, a fully restored but very old stone house set in a totally private walled garden in the small mediaeval hillside village of Mézin. This is the heart of Gascony in sunny South West France.

The house consists of:
* Three double bedrooms each with its own bathroom.
* A huge salon-dining room with exposed beams and three metre high windows.
* A fully equipped kitchen with two stoves, microwave and dishwasher.
* French doors lead to an open air eating area with BBQ, which makes outdoor meals a delight.
* The property also has off street parking.

OTHER GROUP HOLIDAYS

Although we specialize in ART HOLIDAYS, we have also had people who are interested in cycling, walking, wine tasting, cooking, etc, and we even had a group of Americans who just wanted to ‘shop!’

You can see photos of my work and of guests of people enjoying their art holidays on the Artist’s Web site.

PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS

So, if you’d like to come in a family group or with a group of friends, please send me an email spelling out the size of your group and what you have in mind.

Introduction to Watercolours

description

A friendly, thorough and very personal introduction to watercolour painting, held in a studio in my own home. The basics of colour & technique will be covered, but not at the expense of personal expression.

Watercolour+ Workshops

description

This is a workshop for anyone (beginners as well as those with experience) wishing to gain more courage with the ‘difficult’ medium of watercolour. The course includes several demonstrations of different stages of a painting, a morning of exercises to encourage students to “let go”, and still lifes of varying complexity to tackle in the afternoon. You will be encouraged to ‘lose control’ and take risks, painting from the shoulder with more gesture and freedom, using colour richly and loosely.

Watercolour day courses

description

Led by experienced professional painter Cecil Rice.  A range of day workshops in watercolour for this autumn, 2010, tailored especially for beginners and more experienced painters, in small groups of no more than eight.  Demonstration of watercolour technique by Cecil will be combined with many opportunities to explore and to develop your own painting technique.  An ‘Artist’s lunch’ buffet is included, with (optional) wine.  Courses are held either on Saturdays or Sundays at the artist’s home (unless otherwise stated). Commencing at 10.30am and concluding at 4.00pm (arriving any time from 10.00am onwards to set up). Dates for these day-courses and further information on each workshop can be found at http://cecilrice.theartistsweb.co.uk/art+courses/
