Painting in Burgundy

by Tessas Painting Trips in Provence | Sep 20, 2020 | Painting workshops, Vineyards, watercolour courses

Good morning sunshine, the view this morning from our house. We are painting in one of the oldest wine regions in the world, the Phoenicians are said to have first introduced viticulture here in the 6th century BC. It is strange, I hear no birds, see no butterflies,...

Vineyards in Provence

by Tessas Painting Trips in Provence | Oct 28, 2019 | Dates of one day water colour classes, Lorgues-Provence, Painting workshops, Vineyards, watercolour courses

A break from it all. Funny, isn’t it? That the thing that does you the most good is generally the one thing you don’t do. Painting calms, soothes and seems to regulate me in a way that nothing else can. And yet and yet I don’t do it. I have so many...

This is our house in Saint Didier for the week. It is so perfectly beautiful and typical of Provence.  All I am going to do today is post photo’s of this lovely place as very soon I will be doing the airport run to pick up my Paint Provencers!   I have 2...

All good things must come to an end

by Tessas Painting Trips in Provence | May 26, 2018 | Painting workshops, Poppy fields, Rouissillon, Vineyards, watercolour courses

It’s Saturday morning and it is time to pack up and go. We have come to the end of a wonderful week. Meiling and Dominique have produced a lot of fabulous work and I shall be sorry to say goodbye.   The weather finally cheered up and we were able to spend...
