Valerie Kent is taking a small group of artists on a ten-day trip to paint in the Village of Terrasson, Lavilledieu, in the stunning region of the Dordogne, France. Enrolment limited to 8 persons.
Discover this paradise, unknown to most North Americans. A very perfect place to have an art holiday.
This is first of two trips.
Skill level required: Beginner to experienced
Where do you stay: In the beautifully renovated villa, 17th century Residence Terrasson.
Your challenge: To slow down and absorb the atmosphere.
The retreat includes:
Participation limited: 8 artists maximum per session
Enjoy leisurely 2-hour lunches, buy your own food at the local butcher, bakery, and shop at the weekly Thursday market overflowing with figs, truffles, walnuts, cheeses, and Bergerac wines produced for hundreds of years by local farms. Meals in the local restaurants are reasonably priced.
Our location overflows with paintable images. Your biggest problem might just be to decide which things to paint. You will find inspiration in the village square, rolling hills, winding rivers, chateaux and medieval towns all around us. When you visit the Lascaux Museum, you will see the first pre-historic cave paintings ever discovered. They still manage to inspire.
