Join master teachers Connie Borup and Marjorie McClure for five days of painting and sketching on the beautiful Le Lavandin estate in Provence. After a restful night's sleep at Le Lavandin and a typical French Petit Dejeuner, artists will be offered morning classes focusing on plein air oil painting of the landscape. A delicious country French lunch will provide energy for afternoon classes offering instruction in design. Late afternoons and evenings are open so that students may enjoy this beautiful setting and the villages in the surrounding countryside. A small group of eight students will enjoy the benefits of personal instruction from Connie and Marjorie who bring a wealth of experience in teaching and making art to this workshop.
