All levels are welcome! Elizabeth’s immersive watercolor sketchbook workshop in the heart of Provence is held in September, as the golden light of early autumn begins to soften the hills, the vineyards ripen with rich clusters of grapes and the landscape is painted in shades of ochre and sage. Rolling fields, centuries-old stone villages, and winding country roads provide endless inspiration for journey into watercolor sketching and painting.
Together with Elizabeth you’ll explore the timeless charm of Provence, from its sun-dappled vineyards to bustling open-air markets and serene hilltop towns. Each day is a magical blend of demonstrations, lessons, sketchbook journaling and cultural discovery, as Elizabeth guides you in learning her distinct watercolor techniques in your own handmade journal—designed to become a personal travel keepsake filled with color, sketches, and stories.
Your time here in Provence is not just about watercolor sketching, but about capturing a sense of place—the aged shutters of a medieval house, the shadows on a chapel wall, or the twisted shape of a freshly baked croissant.
