I can’t believe I’m writing this but… I’m hosting a watercolor retreat in France next June! 🌻
〰️Watercolor in Nature: A Painting Retreat in France〰️
In a nutshell, this is an all-inclusive art retreat in the idyllic countryside near Toulouse. We’ll stay in a restored manor where our group has exclusive use of the grounds, garden, orchard, pool, hot tub, and art studios. Just me and our lovely hosts and a bunch of new art friends hanging out all week! All meals (and ample wine) will be prepared by a private chef and we’ll pair daily art lessons and nature journaling with outings to nearby towns and botanic garden.
We’ll focus on painting botanicals, birds, and pollinating insects in ink & watercolor, with morning nature journaling and skill-building sessions and afternoon “style studies” where we’ll explore the work of other nature artists, experiment with new techniques, and hone our individual style as artists.
I truly can’t wait to spend a week soaking up inspiration from our surroundings in southern France with this small group. I’ve been working hard to prep the itinerary and lesson plans and I gotta say, it’s shaping up to be quite the dreamy experience.
