Agay- a beautiful village on the French Riveria:

Photo of Summer Art Workshops in Paris & French Riviera, FranceA natural gateway to the Estérel mountains, Agay is renowned for its sandy beaches, peaceful bay and beautiful scenery. During our Agay workshops, students will learn how to paint land- and seascapes in oil. Every day for five days the students will paint at different sites, with morning sessions devoted to completing one mountain landscape and the afternoons divided between seascapes and excursions to the many attractions the Cote d'Azur has to offer, including historic Antibes, the Picasso museum and Chateau La Napoule. For the workshops in Agay, all the accomodation and materials have been taken care of so all you need to do is relax, enjoy the surroundings and concentrate on painting.

Summer Painting Classes from Beginners to Advanced:

- Seascape and Landscape Painting. Agay, Cote d'Azur, France
- Portrait Drawing Masterclass. Paris, France

Our Goal:
The main goal of our workshops is to take you to beautiful, awe-inspiring locations, and once there, provide you with the tuition and materials to create great art. By offering high-quality instruction under the guidance of professional artists our aim is to help you realise your creative potential, and share a profound experience of sublime communication with nature through artistic practice. A key part of this is to establish a friendly and supportive atmosphere whilst we teach our step-by-step method for producing stunning land- and seascapes in oil.

We also offer workshops in a variety of locations, from our Parisian backstreet atelier, to the sun-drenched Côte d'Azur, to the splendour of Alpine meadows. We take care of all the practical details, including exclusive accommodation, meals and all your painting materials, leaving you free to soak up the ambiance and focus on your artistic development.
