It’s almost time to paint
outside again and we want to invite you to paint with Laurie and Blair Pessemier. This year we’ve added new and interesting
spots to our workshop.
We had a
lot of painters in 2011, some for a week, many for just a day, and several 3-4
day stints. For this reason, this year’s sessions are shown
as day events. We paint Monday through
Friday; if you need
further details or assistance with accommodations, we are happy to help.
We’re still visiting the Luxembourg Gardens and painting along the
Seine – we’ve seen some marvelous results from there! Beginning 1 April, we’ll make a Tuesday trip to Giverny, Monet’s gardens, and
on Wednesday set up at Auvers-sur-Oise, where Van Gogh painted his wheat fields
and church, (and where he is buried beside his
brother, Theo).
Fridays we are painting and picnicking at the Bois de Boulogne with an
optional visit to the nearby Marmottan museum.
The Bois de Boulogne has boats, and a rose garden, and lovely fields. We recently spent the afternoon at the
greenhouses there (Auteuil), which will be a perfect alternate in case of
rain.
We’ve
spent some time and energy finding alternate painting
sites for poor weather. Of course, there
are “passages”, covered walkways between buildings –
the galerie Vivienne is quite lovely.
We’ve painted beneath the loggia of the Palais Royale, and from the
coffee shop on top of Printemps department store. We’re ready, whatever the weather.
You
can paint as much or as little as you
like with us, while visiting Paris! We
hope to see you soon.
