Plein air in Côte d'Azur

An amazing opportunity to paint on French Riviera where Mediterranean climate takes care about warm sea, sunny days and cozy havens sheltered by the Aps from harsh winds.

We’ve chosen the best beaches and coves, impressive views and this special azure water to arrange a plein air trip to paint villages with their vibrant cultural scenes, colorful Provençal houses, the bridges and the network of canals, as Port Grimaud is also known as the Venice of France. The French Riviera’s marinas are one of the most spectacular in the world, it is home to over 50% of the world’s superyacht fleet. So there is no better place for painting yachts and boats.   

Painting techniques are available on request, so you may choose among watercolor, soft pastels and mixed media (watercolor+soft pastels).

• September 9. Thursday. Arrival, dinner together and discussing plein air plans.
