"The Provence workshop went way beyond expectations and I loved that it felt so local and not touristy - a special "peek" into real life in France! Real places. Real people."
"Thank you for a really fabulous experience in the true French countryside! It was beyond our dreams and expectations!"
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Provence where I live part-time with my husband Gilles!
This is the Var, the wilder part of Provence, with ancient stone walls, olive trees, cypress trees reminiscent of nearby Italy, and the roses of May, grown for Dior and Chanel. In the quiet perched hill villages, life can feel unchanged from decades ago. From on high, you can glimpse the turquoise Mediterranean, which so inspired Picasso and Matisse.
In this workshop, we’ll experience a truly off-the-beaten-path Provence.
We are based the whole time at La Bastide, a magnificent luxury villa with a heated pool, all en-suite rooms, numerous terraces where we can eat, and stunning views of the perched village of Callian.
We have our own private chef, the extraordinarily talented Louise Robertson, whose food is scrumptious and super-healthy.
We’ll be there in early June, when the weather is absolutely perfect.
As with all my workshops, you can expect a seamlessly run, highly professional trip, with great attention to detail.
There will also be great learning with on-location guidance, educational classes, group projections, and private critiques.
All levels of photographers are welcome. Spouses/partners who have no strong interest in photography are welcome!
This will be a small workshop with a maximum of 8 guests.
"Wow! What a treasure of information and great presentations. I loved Art Day! Our expert was so personable and enthusiastic. We were so impressed that you were able to get permission for us to photograph Matisse's Chapel!"
