Autumn in Languedoc is spectacular, you still have those special warm days, the light is softer, the colours glow. The vine leaves are red and orange, the land has cooled after the heat of summer and the shadows are long. We will visit mountain lakes and villages, paint the vineyards, the Canal du Midi and visit small town markets.
A beautiful time to visit the villages and market towns of L’Herault. Everything is waking up the vines are in full leaf, the tourists are arriving. Painting venues could include the mountain town of Minerve, Grau d’Agde where the river enters the Mediterranean Sea, St Chinian Market, Chateau Grezan Autignac’s own mini Carcassonne and the riverside village of Lunas.
Accommodation:
Bedrooms are twins or double, of a good size, furnished to suit the style of the house and each have their own bathroom. Your rooms are comfortable to sit in, though you have communal space including the terrace to sit. If you like your own space you can find a quiet corner.
Breakfast will be served in the dining room or on the terrace, as will evening meals taken at home.
There is be a large studio space at the house to use in the times we are not out on location if you wish to paint before we go out or into the evening
Each day includes demonstrations, tuition and critiques with Linda, bring your enthusiasm to explore different approaches to plein air painting or sketching.
Small groups and Linda’s methods of teaching mean she can engage mixed ability groups. She will encourage you to be inspired by your chosen subject, not to copy it.
If you are an experienced painter who wishes to spend a few days with like minded people and no tuition you are very welcome too.
Unless stated all holidays are in the media of your choice.
