ART CLASSES & SUMMER WORKSHOPS

 

Claude Reynier holds art classes and Summer Workshops for people with all levels of experience, from beginners to professional. All drawing and painting techniques are covered – oil, watercolours, acrylic, gouache, charcoal, pastel...

The classes are held outside, where the techniques of perspective are shown, and inside, with still-life classes. Students learn how to bring watercolours to life, to draw the correct perspective outlines in charcoal or pencil, to visualise the subject in relation to the canvas, how to put that final finishing touch to the oil painting, and more. Learning all the techniques with Claude Reynier mean that students who attend the Summer Workshop will leave with a much improved set of artistic skills.

 
At the end of the course, the students take with them two paintings that they have created during the week, together with a Certificate of Attendance at the Claude Reynier Summer Workshop.

The Workshops are held in Margon, a picturesque historical village, situated about 6 miles from Pézenas and 18 miles from the Mediterranean.

The Summer Workshop is a five-day course, Monday to Friday, with the possibility to add a further five days, space permitting.

Times are 9.00am-12 noon and 3.00pm-6.00pm. This schedule may be changed at the request of students.
