Art Courses
pp9e3a67bf.png
Art Courses are held for beginners and improvers in small groups, and led by our tutors who are experienced artists and teachers. The tutors will organise projects designed to teach key aspects of painting and drawing on each day, however the size of the group ensures that individual tuition can be given to each student according to their needs. Tuition is always flexible.

Accommodation will be at Les Trois Chênes and other local Bed and Breakfasts. We will organise all transport between your B&B and Les Trois Chênes.

PAINTING Courses - By Barbara Walton
Learn to Paint in France
There will be six days of tuition, which will begin on the day after arrival. A typical day starts at 10am with a short trip to the venue for the day, two hours of tuition before lunch and three hours after lunch.

The tutors will be available in the evenings and there will be time to discuss the day’s work over aperitifs before dinner.

Normally painting sessions will be undertaken outdoors on the farm or places of local interest, and a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art at Rochechouart Château is included. Day outings and visits are organised to some of the many attractions in Limousin, the Charente and the Dordogne. Two of the villages included in the list of the most beautiful villages in France are within easy travelling distance.

Courses can be tailored to the needs of individual groups.

Mixed media course
Sketching at Videix Lake
pp22241591.png
Students using pastels:  This class was about confidence-building. We started by exploring techniques and methods, talking about the colour circle and complementary colours, then, using large pieces of paper, the task was to cover the whole paper, to think about composition, to get a feel for the media. We looked at the work of Degas for inspiration!
