Facilities
"...... I was so impressed by
the way you made us feel so comfortable at every stage of the
day...I'm still missing those wonderful salads at lunchtime and the
delicious nibbles that accompanied every beverage. Also I was very
pleased with the accommodation at Montplaisir.
There is
plenty for the non-painting partners or friends - the house is
within half an hour from TOULOUSE, CASTRES and the market
towns of REVEL and LAVAUR. And within an hour from
LAUTREC,GAILLAC, ALBI, CORDES, CARCASSONNE.
There is plenty of WALKING in the immediate area and in the
mountains. There are three GOLF COURSES within half an hour and
TENNIS and RIDING nearby. We have a SWIMMING POOL and plenty of
places for everyone to paint/read/sleep/sunbathe without disturbance
and even indulge in a MASSAGE with our local masseuse and not
forgetting the delicious gourmet French cooking provided by our
local chef Yannick Hervouet.

Andrew Curtis July 25th - 2nd August
2009
We are very pleased to welcome
Andrew back. He exhibited his paintings with us at The Merriscourt
Gallery and for the four years that we ran courses there he
was a very popular teacher.
The course will introduce
various ways to approach painting using landscape as a subject
matter.
Andrew will work with each individual to help develop a more
personal style of representation. Tuition will cover both the
traditional landscape techniques and also suggest ways of
approaching landscape using abstract painting techniques.
Topics include: finding suitable motifs, composition, conventions of
perspective, use of colour and paint application.
Andrew will also be working on his own paintings, this will give the
opportunity to see some of the subjects discussed put into practice.
