The workshop was truly wonderful. They worked

very hard to satisfy everyone from the beginning to

the experience artist. The demonstrations were

great! I particularly enjoyed watching them paint

side by side, each interpreting the same scene, with

their own personality, mixing the colors on the

canvas. It was very inspiring. I think everyone in the

workshop came out with a better grasp on how to

paint from life, everyone challenged and excited to

take what they experienced back to their own work.

I highly recommend them!

Heaven on earth! Antonin and Anastasia's

workshop in France is one of the highlights of my

life! Excellent presenters, a group of enthusiastic

artists, an unforgettable setting, great cheese and

wine- what's not to love? Antonin and Anastasia

demonstrated in rural and urban locations. We

mixed a little tourism in with helpful guidance to

better painting. Plus, each evening the group

pitched in for fun meals, fire pit chats, and more

cheese and wine. Enjoy!
