About
The French Region of Occitanie is home to charming rural villages such as Mirepoix, Auvillar, Moissac, Lauzerte, and Beauville. This is an area of Southern France situated around Toulouse and offering breathtaking landscapes. We are pleased to offer a Studio Comfort Texas exclusive Art Excursion to this beautiful area in the Summer of 2020. Join us to hone your keen artist eye by way of the French countryside, expand your observation of the world within and around you, and translate your experiences through drawing and painting.
In addition to offering exceptional art instruction, Jeannette MacDougall is a former director of the VCCA’s (Virginia Center for Creative Arts) artist-writer residency program in Moulin à Nef, in the Port quartier of Auvillar, on the banks of the picturesque Garonne River. She is familiar with the village and region, having fostered relationships through the years with area artists, dancers, musicians, and studio models. Jeannette will collaborate with some of them to offer a richly varied and uniquely local art instruction and cultural experience.
The cost of the 7-Day Drawing & Painting Experience does not include airfare or transportation to/from airports. We can offer transportation to/from local train and bus stations. We will be providing our recommendations for airlines, as well as helpful information for getting yourself where you need to be. We will also consider a discount for anyone who registers for both the Scotland and France excursions.
This will be an intimate group of eight (8) students maximum. If you're interested in being one of the fortunate few, please click the button below to fill out the contact form, or email us at info@studiocomforttexas.com.
