Brush up your artwork, discover challenging and innovative ideas - or try your hand for the first time: we welcome beginners or those who want to re-awaken their artistic instincts.
We also cater for the advanced artist who may not require tuition. The aim of the course is to encourage, stimulate and inspire in a relaxed atmosphere. Our art tutor will transport you to some of the most beautiful and interesting local places where your imagination will be ignited.
The course will cover subjects such as landscapes, villagescapes, still life and portrait sessions. They will be carried out in the student's preferred medium in their own time and at their own pace with personal attention from the tutor and ongoing support and tuition (if required).
A basic supply of equipment such as paper, pencils and water-colour boxes will be supplied free of charge. If artists prefer to work in a specific medium such as oils, acrylics or gouache they are advised to bring these with them.
Faculty Information:
After a formal art education, Susan Keverne pursued her personal interests in Chinese art, fashion and textiles which led to jewellery-making, mosaic work, book illustration and numerous commissions for paintings, murals and greeting cards.
She has taught art in both the state and independent school sectors to students between the ages of 7 to 18 years fulfilling National Curriculum requirements.
Other Activities:
Domaine St. Raymond is a beautiful, spacious house with gardens, a large swimming pool and a tennis court. We have a supply of bicycles - and the road is flat right down to the Canal du Midi towpath! There's table-tennis, a pool table and even a set of boules.
Facility Information:
With an optimum of ten guests per weekend, there's a houseparty atmosphere which promises the formation of new friendships or cementing of old ones.

All bedrooms have en-suite shower-rooms and, in the case of the Olive room, an additional bath.
