ITALY FRANCE PAINT & TOUR
The French Riviera & Liguria: In the Footsteps of Monet
2027 tours now FULL. Join the waitlist for 2028
Since 2024 I’ve been curating and leading art tours that begin in Nice on the Côte d’Azur and then tour highlights of Liguria, Italy, following in the footsteps of Claude Monet.
Matisse, Renoir and Bonnard all moved south for the light, the colour and the Mediterranean way of life.
We draw on their inspiration in the painting studio and as we visit small hilltop towns, beautiful villas and gardens, the cote d’azure, art museums and markets.
You’ll live like a local in a characterful, 1,000-year-old Italian village and paint in my dedicated painting studio.
We learn new techniques by painting what’s around us: the coast, the gardens, flowers from the Nice flower markets, and Mediterranean produce set up as still life compositions. While we paint, our private cook prepares our lunches and dinners.
Finish with a swag of new techniques and art knowledge under your belt, and a collection of paintings to hang and enjoy. Plus a bonus online set of painting lessons to enjoy. Max of 8 students.
