We are very pleased to be tutoring at this fantastic venue in France.

19.30 onwards: Dinner in the courtyard, or in the dining room by candlelight. Enjoy delicious food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere as you discuss your day.

We will encourage you to explore watercolour in new and exciting ways through a series of innovative exercises and demonstrations. Because we strongly believe that an artist produces their best work when inspired by their subject matter, we will then encourage you to apply your new found skills to subject matter of your choice. L'Age Baston is an inspiring environment, and we will be showing you how to effectively gather information (sketches, photographs and from 'life') that will lead to enjoyable and succesful paintings. Within the restrictions imposed by a group environment we are able to adjust our teaching to individual needs. Everyone is able to work at their own pace. More experienced painters will be encouraged to try new techniques and to consolidate those they already have. Beginners we hope to inspire with an enthusiasm for a very explorative approach to watercolour based on gaining techniques and learning how to apply them appropriately.

With this in mind it is very important that each student brings along some of their previous work for us to judge their starting point at the beginning of the course. Even if you are new to watercolour it is useful to see any work you may have produced in another medium.(You will not be expected to show your work to anyone else.) If this is the first time you have painted since leaving school, don't worry ~ we are happy to get you going!

Booking is strictly through L'Age Baston. However, if you would like more information before booking we are happy to take enquiries regarding the course content and our teaching methods.
