Landscape painting workshop. We will be painting on the paths around places that Van Gogh loved to paint most in the last years of his life.
Strong emphasis on color theory. Slides of contemporary and modern art will be shown each evening with emphasis on Van Gogh’s paintings.
We will gather each morning and live for our painting locations. Four days will be completely dedicated to the work of Vincent Van Gogh and his presence at Arles and Saint Remy. We will visit the places where he painted his most beautiful paintings during his stay in Provence. Two days of our painting holidays will be dedicated to magic blue-violet lavender fields, for those who will join us in July or red poppies for those who will join us in May, that are going to be flourishing in that precise moment of the year. We will also visit historical villages, castles, wine farms with their spectacular gardens and landscape.
Faculty Information:
Emphasis will be put on perception and observation, as the bases to painting. I will help you develop your personal outlook, as well as inspire your imagination in all this magical places and to help you appreciate art to the full. We will paint 4 hours every morning.
Admissions are opened to 7 participants of all levels, from the beginners to advanced.
I realize how important it is for you to travel light. I will provide all you need for your lessons: acrylic paints, brushes, canvases, paper, French easels, chairs... (just if you wish to work in any different mediums, I ask you to bring your own paints).
I encourage non painter partners to join us for daily excursions, meals and the evening art appreciation course by offering them reduced rates.
Other Activities:
You may work on sketches for the first few days, and than proceed to more accomplished works derived from these last. Or you may simply paint two or three works a day. If for some reason, you want to wonder and explore the territory during these days, you are pleased to do so.
We will meet again in the evening, discuss the work done during the day and see numerous slides of contemporary and modern art.
