France Painting Workshop
2010 SUMMER PAINTING WORKSHOP IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Instructor: Glen Moriwaki
Approximate Instruction Dates: June 8 through June 21 (possibility of a third week)
Location: Caunes-Minervois, (near Carcassone) Languedoc region, France
This is a two-week workshop in a small village at the base of the
Montagne Noir in the Languedoc. It is designed for painters who seek
art instruction structured not as a summer-school class, but as a small
painting seminar, an intensive one. It is a chance for artists to come
together to share ideas and perspectives, stimulation and mutual
encouragement. Instruction is one-to-one, based on each participant's
goals. The overall aim of instruction is to assist each artist in
taking his or her work to the next level of development, no matter what
degree of past experience. In short, the worskhop offers the chance to
paint for two weeks six thousand miles away from home, work, and
distractions. Nature, history, French food and wine, and quietude help
to create a setting conducive to creativity and moreover to your growth
as an artist in whatever direction you choose.
This summer's workshop marks our tenth summer in Caunes-Minervois. Through the efforts of former San Franciscans Terry and Lois Link, the workshop's accomodations and studio facilties have developed into a comfortable retreat where artists have been able to do some of their best and most experimental work.
